Host – Zimmerman Family

Per Team Linkt message on 10/5/2023:

“Good morning everyone –

I’m sorry, but I think we need to cancel the spaghetti supper this week. We’re having difficulty finding an appropriate venue. We had hoped to have practice out at our place, but that won’t be possible this week.

We will happily provide snack this Saturday at Albany, with our sincerest thanks for your understanding. Is this a bribe? Maybe. 😉

Yours in Christ,
Laura Zim”

 

Host – Haun Family

The Haun family will be hosting the Spaghetti Dinner on Friday, Sept 15th at Walnut Grove Park (202 N Westfield Rd, Madison, WI 53717). It is about a mile from school. Runners will practice at school and carpool over to the park for dinner. Families are welcome to join! Dinner will begin around 5:00pm. Please plan to pick up your runner between 6:00-6:30pm from the park. If any parents can help carpool runners to the park from school, it would be much appreciated!

 

Practice from 5:00pm-6:15pm with dinner to follow.

The Belter family has offered to host this year’s kickoff pasta dinner. They are pretty far away for most, so they are inviting parents and families to hang out while waiting for students. They live on a farm with lots of fun places to explore and trails to walk. They will host practice at 5:00pm and dinner to follow at 6:15pm.

All Saints Party | November 4

Since 2004, the All Saints Party has been hosted to fundraise for the March for Life Trip that St. Ambrose seniors take annually.

All are welcome, so please invite other families and friends to join in this community-wide event!

Wow! We had an incredible night of auditions and are so excited about this cast! We already know about some roles based on auditions last night but will need to see a couple of people on Saturday to figure out exactly what role they will have. The callback list is below. Please note that you may also be asked to read for a part you are not assigned to, but this is where we will start. All callback materials will be in the audition folder by this afternoon, and Mrs. Hineline will also hand them out tomorrow.

Callback List

Audition Materials

Feel free to email me at diane.marsland@ambroseacademy if you have any questions!

Please start using the rehearsal tracks to practice. Here are the instructions for access, and the access code is: NEW2242341

Simple instructions – download the MTI player app, leave username blank and enter the above code as the password.

Audition for a role in St. Ambrose Academy’s Spring Musical! Auditions are open to 6-12 graders.


Information about Newsies Auditions

Location: St. Mary of Pine Bluff, gym. 3673 County Rd. P, Pine Bluff

Date: Wednesday, October 11

Time: Junior High from 3:45-5:00. High School from 4:55-7:33. Please note that high school students will be released from auditions at different times. Study schedule carefully. Students will not be allowed to stay past their assigned audition time.

Audition Schedule

Let me know right away (diane.marsland@ambroseacademy.org) if there is something in the schedule that isn’t correct!

What to bring: Dance shoes and water bottle

What to wear: Dress nicely for your audition. Girls, may wear their school uniform or skirt/dress that can be danced in. Boys, may wear school uniform or dress pants, button-down dress shirt or polo.

Also, please remember to turn in your pre-audition form to Mrs. Hineline, or email to Mrs. Marsland (diane.marsland@ambroseacademy.org).

Please note: We have 72 people signed up to audition which is awesome, but a little tricky. We would like to let you all know a few things before auditions. In order to allow everyone to be cast:

1.     Middle schoolers (except for Les), will need to provide their own costume with directions from us. The Newsie style is fairly easy to create from regular earth-tone clothing.

2.     Most middle school cast members will be in a “kids chorus” and will be in one to two numbers.

3.     Dancers (and anyone cast as a main Newsie) will need to purchase boot jazz shoes ($20-$30 on Amazon), and tap shoes if they are cast as tappers.

SET BUILDS!!

Also, set builds will be starting next Saturday, Oct. 14th. We need a lot of help and it’s a lot of fun! Set builds will be at Endres Manufacturing in Waunakee. Please sign up for a slot!
