Drama Club
MES Drama Club is a group of students who love celebrating the Arts. Together the club creates the annual spring musical which is almost entirely student run. Students have the opportunity to not only act on stage but also create sets, run lights, run sound, and assist in every aspect of the theatrical process. Students also are able to work into leadership roles and help lead their peers in many of the show's entities. In the fall our club meets to practice improvisation and work on audition preparation and you can find us every winter rehearsing for the big spring show. All 6-8th grade students are encouraged to sign up for this amazing club that does not just put up great performances, but also creates great friendships and memories.

Where to Find Music
Posted by Kristine Sliwoski on 2/18/2021Hello there All!
Since I won't be handing out sheet music this year to prep for the audition I wanted to post the link for where you can find the scenes that will be used for the audition. Also if you click on where it says "Score" you can find sheet music as well.
To Access it just click on the link and put in Mary Poppins Jr and you should be able to find the sheet music and you can find all of the music on youtube.

I missed everyone today with the snow but look forward to seeing you all next Friday after school! Let's hope for dry weather.
