District XIV Competitions 2008
Troupe 6172
 
 
 SUPERIORS / GOING TO STATES
 
CRITIC'S CHOICE / SUPERIOR
Chrissy Bracken ('09), Andrew Garces ('08) & Karly Muzik ('09)
Ensemble Acting, "The Tarantino Variation"
Clearly defined characters, outstanding comic timing, and smart scene composition made this scene a judges' favorite!  Plus, Andrew really had to pee. They are the winners of our troupe's FIFTH Critics' Choice award in a row!
 
SUPERIOR
Lauren Bates ('09)
Publicity Design, "Real Women Have Curves"
Lauren won over the judges with her sharp promotional ideas, focused presentation, and strong sense of promotional appeal.  Lauren's Publicity Design was a finalist for the overall Technical Direction Critics' Choice award.
 
Ariana Lee ('08)
Monologues, "Epic Proportions" & "Look Back in Anger"
Ariana received straight Superiors from the judges, who found her monologues to be very credible (high judge's praise!), hilarious, and very sharply contrasted - highlighting an effective acting range.
 
Miranda Ross ('08)
Solo Musical, "Only in New York" from "Thoroughly Modern Millie"
The judges had strong marks for Miranda's performance, finding both a consistent vocal performance and a believable character.  Her warm and professional performance is wonderful to watch!
 
Kelsey Loynaz ('08) & Jessica Olarte ('08)
Duet Acting, "Loose Ends"
It's hard to believe that Kelsey & Jessica hated this play at first - it's turned into such a mature, subtle, and enjoyable piece.  Two of the judges had virtually nothing negative to say - and really liked the play's creative staging and use of dramatic timing.
 
Lauren Perez ('11)
Monologues, "A Chorus Line" & "Our Town"
The judges liked Lauren's clear and vocally brilliant performances.  They also remarked on her "excellent natural quality" and strong levels of energy and concentration.
 

 EXCELLENT / GOING TO STATES

Note : I am allowed to pick one, and only one,
"Excellent" Tech event to advance to States.
 
ADVANCING TO STATES / EXCELLENT
Karly Muzik ('09)
Costume Construction, "Steel Pier"
While the judges may have been a little rough in their vocal feedback, on paper their feedback is laced with great compliments about Karly's sewing skill, great costume drawings, and attention to interior detail as well as the obvious exterior.  With just a costume collage renovation, and a period silhouette alteration, I feel confident that this is a piece that can do very well at States.
 
 SUPERIORS
 
We are only allowed to send 5 Superiors in Performance, 3 in Tech, as well as any declared District Representatives.  These events earned the highest possible overall score of "Superior" but were not chosen to advance to States.   To those of you who are not advancing, I am very, very sorry.  You are to be congratulated on your great work.

Deadlines
You must have your completed States Registration Package in to Mr. Gaudet by 2:40pm Wed 2/13/08 or you will not attend States!! 
 
Registration packets will be available in Room 229 starting 11:10am Tuesday 2/5/08.   You are eligible to attend States if you competed in any event at Districts.  You can go to States even if you didn't "advance" - and no matter what your score was.  There will be fun workshops to go to, tons of events to see, and a great time to be had!  Make sure you don't pass up this fantastic opportunity!
 
If you are marked as "Going to States" and would like to accept this offer, you will be required to continue to work on your piece, and to attend regular workshops to address all of the judges' concerns, and to work on anything you might want to improve in your piece.  The goal will be to shape yourself up for a Superior at States - which is much, much harder to come by.  Be sure you are ready to put in the work before you say "Yes."  I will hold you to your commitment!
IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!
An event marked below as "Going to States" requires all of its members to complete registrations by 2:40pm  2/13/08.  Any events not meeting this deadline will forfeit their advancement to States.  If this happens, I will choose from among the other Superiors for an event to take their place.
