Stagecoach

As mentioned in a previous posting, Singing STARE will be on this week 1.30pm until 2.30pm with Cat.

The following week, STARE will meet with Janie from 1.30pm until 3.00pm on Sunday May 23rd at Teesside High to set the moves for the song. ANYONE TAKING PART IN THE COMPETITION MUST BE

• THERE ON 23rd for the setting, with costuming as per decision made this week at Singing STARE

• BE AGED 14 years or older

• Have given your mobile number to me or Lily Grundy as this is information needed by the competition entry form

• Know the words of the song without a lyric sheet

• Be aware from the other members of STARE or Cat or me, when the filming for the entry will take place

PASS IT ON PLEASE

The STARE performance group are engaged to perform the “Hairspray” number at a charity concert, organised by Vicky McIntyre (Darlington Further Stages) this coming Saturday 24th April at Hummersknott School, Edinburgh Drive, Darlington.

Janie has asked me to pass on to the members of STARE that some of them still have costume pieces in their possession and therefore need to bring those items with them. STARE should meet with Janie at the entrance to the school at 8pm so that she can block the routine for those who are able to do the gig. You will be performing at about 8.45pm by opening up the second half of the show. 

STARE training for the Summer Term

STARE training starts again on Sunday 24th April at Teesside High School with Singing STARE from 1.30pm until 2.30pm. The week after it will be Dance STARE 1.30pm until 3.00pm (except for Yarm Afternoon members who need to leave for their classes at 2.30pm). Every week after that the sessions will alternate between Singing STARE and Dance STARE at those same times.

PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS INFO BY TEXT /MSN/ FACEBOOK etc. to everyone you know

Nick Brown, lately of Yarm Further Stages and STARE, was recently conned (I mean persuaded) to play the part of the cross-dressing character in “Hairspray”, as a highlight, when STARE`s performance closed the Vibe Awards this year at Darlington Civic Theatre.

Hayley Moohan sent these photos in to show Nick`s transformation.

Nick has had a bit of a health scare lately and I would publicly like to say how delighted I am, and we all are, that Nick is on the mend.

Nick`s contribution to the “Life” of Stagecoach (with a capital L) has been enormous over the years and we worried that we would miss him enormously on Sundays at Stagecoach Yarm, once he left Further Stages, after his A Levels, in the summer.  But as it is, Nick has kept popping back and helping out and is frequently seen around the place. We love you Nick!!

This year the organisers of the Vibe Awards made a video of the two award nights and here is some preliminary footage on this link. (Other more detailed stuff will follow). The All Boys Dance Class and STARE performed at the Vibes this year on the Wednesday evening and the following students who live in Darlington, and are therefore eligible, were nominated by me for an award in various categories, either for exceptional achievement in a Performing Arts sphere this year or for achievement within their private life:-
