The Wiz Cast Party!

The Wiz was a huge success! I never imagined that our outcome was going to be as rewarding and fun as it turned out to be. It took a lot of hard work, effort, and dedication to put on such a great show. We needed everybody for everything to finally come together in the end. I am proud to say "hi, I was apart of The Wiz, the best musical ever presented at HSES". None of this would have ever happened if it weren't for Mr. Ly, Ms. Defalco, and Ms. Politi. I love musical theater!

A Little Reflection On my First Year in the US-

i know it is not yet the time to reflect- -, but i just wanna talk
about some good things before June has came... the school here is so different from that of my country, i really didn't wanna adjust myself to a different environment when i came, and still now~ but its exciting and interesting to try something new, it makes me feel like i have a combination of eastern and western mind...
any way, for this school year i was fighting every day, not only for grades but for other activities like internship and of course~ musical theater, i really challenged
myself in many aspects, for my purpose to join musical theater was to blend myself into the American high school life, which is so strange to me that i feel I'm acting weird everyday- -...i have to stop now~
SATs in June~
wish myself good luck

The Wiz is a HUGE Success!

OMG THE SHOW WAS FREAKING AMAZING. I truly believe that we did a fabulous job. We came together and worked as one and we put on an amazing show. Lets all do the same for every single show that is left. Omg I am so proud of us. I think Ms. D and Ms. P are correct, there is a method to their madness. We have two more shows left and lets blow peoples minds when they see us Friday and Saturday. Everyone get a goodnight's sleep, be well rested, and go to every single class tomorrow on time. See you all tomorrow. You guys are the best.

The show was SPECTACULAR, I am speechless. Everyone was amazing, and i really do mean that. The amount of talent that is in this class is unbelievable. I am so happy to have such great teachers. And what
would we do without tech, the crew and the pit. I hope we do the same for the next two shows. I love!!!!!!!!!!!! all of you. And i agree with Amalia, the thing we did before the prologue really helped and we will do it again. Good Night Everyone. =)

Thank you to everyone on committees for many things including tickets, headshots, props, and a great internet community.
Thank you to the tech for making sure we're onstage, seen, and heard.
Thank you to the design team for your great sets and props.
Thank you to the teachers and administration who are helping by volunteering on their Saturdays to help (and even cook!!!)

It takes a village to put on a musical.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I truly love my job because I love working with young people like you. I enjoy continuing working with returning students and getting to know new students. We're going to get through this and although you can't see it, the show is coming together wonderfully. Thank you for letting me get to know you and work with you. Thank you for coming in on Saturdays. You are a wonderful group of young people and I know you're working very hard.

Have a relaxing afternoon. You deserve it!!!
Thank you again,
