Registration is now open for the Gatesville Summer Music Camp, to be held on Monday, June 26 through Thursday, June 29 at the Gatesville High School.
Over the course of four days the children will be taught an entire musical. Each day will consist of lessons on singing, acting, choreography, music fundamentals, costumes, props, and staging. This year’s show will be “It’s Saturday!” a musical celebrating a day off in the life of a kid. That is, until his mom wakes up with the “to-do list.”
The camp is open to students who have finished kindergarten through eighth grade. Campers will be divided in groups based in age/grade level. The cost will be $50 per student, and the deadline is Friday, May 12.
The camp will include multiple rehearsals daily, creating props during craft time, recreation time during the camp chat, and a camp T-shirt.
Each day the doors will open at noon, and camp will begin promptly at 12:30 p.m. Dismissal will be at 4:30 p.m. each day. Campers can eat lunch on campus at noon if needed.
A cast party will take place on Thursday, June 29 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. A pizza dinner will be provided. All parents, family members, and loved ones are invited to attend the performance on June 29 at 5:30 p.m. in the Gatesville High School Auditorium. Admission is free. The cast and chorus will present “It’s Saturday!” showcasing all the skills, music, choreography, and staging they learned throughout the week.
There are several main characters that have multiple speaking lines and solos that will require preparation prior to camp week. If your student is within third through eighth grade and is interested in one of the roles, auditions will be held on Wednesday, May 24 at 4 p.m. in the Gatesville High School choir room. Email Cherith Wells at gisdchoir@gatesvilleisd.org to secure your student’s audition spot and get the audition materials. The audition will be closed to the public.
Space is limited, and on a first-come, first-served basis. Send in registration form and payment to Gatesville High School as soon as possible to ensure enrollment. Make checks payable to “GHS Choir.” Registration will be non-refundable. Registration is also available online at the GISD School Store.
