One word....."Outstanding!"
I brought my family to the Friday night show. As I sat and watched our students put on a spectacular performance, I was emphatically reminded of three things. One....our students are incredibly dedicated and talented. Two.... the teaching staff and volunteers responsible for the planning, organizing and implementation of this musical deserve many accolades for their tireless work and the incredible amount of spare time that it took to produce a musical that was clearly professional in nature. Three....how are Arts and Culture Specialist High Skills Major has benefited our Catholic Learning Community.
As the Principal, I was never more proud of my staff and students. The happiness induced as a result of our students' wonderful acting and music could not be quantified.
This same feeling is what Cathy Parker, the wife of our dear colleague John Merlini, gave to her family and friends with her artistic impressions. Cathy passed away peacefully at their home after a courageous battle with cancer on Thursday, May 20th. Her passion for art touched the lives of many people as she created many pieces in all kinds of mediums.
As I was received by John and Cathy's family and friends at the MacKinnon Family Funeral Home, one could clearly appreciate what a profound impact her art has had on those that she loved.
Our thoughts and prayers are with John and his family.
We also saw Annie on Friday May 21. What a spectacular evening!! Everyone in our group of 5 thoroughly enjoyed every minute from the opening of the overture by the "Pit Band" to the singing and dancing. The amount of hours of dedication given by both the staff and students involved was truly evident. I hope you know how professional this show really was . Thank you does not seem to express our appreciation.

The show was AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteI've taken my family to see many musicals over the years but I must say this was the best one yet! The music, the set, and the costumes were outstanding. Kudos to the students and staff who worked so hard to put on such a fantastic performance - bravo!
ReplyDeleteAn awesome performance!! Congratulations to the actors, actresses, pit band, stage and lighting crew, musical director, etc. The musical was professionally done - we cannot wait until next year to see a musical again! CTK should be proud of everyone who participated...it was worth the many hours spent rehearsing and it definitely showed on "opening" and "closing" night when we attended.
ReplyDeletePlease give our condolences to the Merlini family.
