Friday, February 4, 2022 ~ Semester 2
Please make sure you are happy with your timetable. Today is the last day to make course changes. If you need to change courses see Ms. Anderson - grades 9 & 10 or Mr. Choo - grades 11 & 12 today.
Musical Theatre Performance Update. All three Musical Theatre performances of Cinderella will be virtual (Feb 2, Feb 3 & Feb 4). We were all hoping for a change in the current restrictions on spectators, however, no new announcements have been made and the current health and safety restrictions remain in place. We are not allowed to have a live audience.
The good news is that there is a live streaming option available on ShowTix4U. The direct link to this event for you to purchase tickets is: https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/60520
Anyone who purchased a ticket for a live performance is welcome to a refund, or if you are able, forgo the refund as a donation to our program. The company we are working with to perform via livestream is not affiliated with Parkland, and therefore we cannot transfer your purchased ticket to a livestream ticket. They are a separate entity. We can promise a fun and delightful show, though! There are two acts and each is approximately one hour long. There will be a 15 minute intermission to allow our cast to change costumes, and the crew to change sets.
Creating a production during a pandemic has been an emotional feat, and we are so pleased that we can still share our hard work with our community. We thank you for your support of the Fine Arts at Parkland Secondary School. Thank you for supporting our Musical Theatre Program!
The Duke of Edinburgh Program is an internationally recognized award that promotes excellence in young people, through the pursuit of interests and giving back to the community. The DoE Award gives youth an opportunity to progress outside their comfort zone, and gain leadership experience. The Award looks amazing on resumes and job applications, as well as giving the recipient up to six high school credits. It also provides the recipients a sense of accomplishment and pride. If you are interested in this program, please see Ms. Gribling in the office.
