Well that was just how we felt before we performed today. It s normal to get nervous, but just go for it and SHINE!!!!!!!!! If that is you we are going to give you some tips on how to stop worrying and just go for it and perform! 1. You can t even see anybody because of the light, but if you are so nervous and just can t look just look at the light it makes you feel like no one is in the room. 2. If you are singing just look at the clock, I know it sounds weird but the clock is up above everyone. 3. (Only if you are doing something that doesn t involves walking) close your eyes and just imagine your just at your house doing it with no one around (but don t fall off the stage). 4. (If you can see people) imagine them in their underpants (Hey, it always helps me). BTW we were the ones who sang Cups!! WE really hope you use these tips and hope to see you perform in the Noontime Show!!! SHINE!!!!! 4
So this is theater. Bright lights prevent you from seeing the individual faces packed together in the audience. White boots hug your ankles as you wiggle your toes in all the extra room. Pale pink tights hug your legs snugly, but not uncomfortably. You straighten the white lace around your neck and shoulders. Two straight, smooth braids hang down on either side of your face. A floral dress hangs down to your knees. Puffy sleeves grasp your wrists. The rock in your stomach is gone. Someone starts to yell about a pool table. Here we go So this is theater. Theater By Lindsey Vogelmann Age: 13 A Very Random Fairy Tale #3 By Brooke Halaby Once upon a time there was a sign on a door, but not just any sign, a sign that said DO NOT OPEN THIS DOOR. Behind the door was a long dark hallway with snakes on each side and knives on the floor. In front of the door is a big room that is always filled with happiness. If anyone opens the door it looks like just a long dark hallway with nothing in it. But if someone walks one step into it the knives will come out through the floor and into the person s foot and they will die. Then the snakes will come through the walls and kill the rest of the people in that room and lock the doors so no one can get out and escape. This has thankfully never happened because no one has ever opened the door. People have been thinking of tearing it down but it is inside the room filled with happiness and if that room is destroyed, happiness will be ruined forever and everyone will be depressed forever. This is the question: Who will be the first to open the door? This is the REAL question: Who will be the first person to destroy the long dark hallway? Gaming Corner By Andrew Jones At the beginning of Raft Wars you see a little boy finding treasure. But, when pirates find out about the treasure, they want to steal it. You must defend your treasure. After your first win, you get credit that you can use to upgrade your boat, get rockets or get grenades. There are 11 levels and 4 upgrades for your ship; you can get 2 grenades and 2 rockets at a time. This game is really fun, and I say you should all play it. 5
Narwhals?? Interviewing Eliza By Luc Kylander By Hannah Chase Why did Shawn and Kiri pick narwhals? Why not sharks or whales or tigers? Narwhals are part whales part unicorn or so I ve been told. Seriously, a puppet show of narwhals! Why? It all started with improv on Monday. Really unicorns? Why unicorns. Why in the world was narwhals the theme? Sassy Classical By Alexa Cohen Age: 8 Sassy Classical is a class at Derby Summer Arts. The funny thing is, this year, only two people are taking the class. The class is in the lower school building in music 3. You can play any classical instrument you want! In the class, right now, they are playing a violin and a piano. When you play these instruments, you get to make up different lyrics. They can be about whatever you want! The people in the class like the class. That is because they get to play whatever they want to play without anyone saying they can t. I think this class is very fun and interesting. Q: How many years have you been at DSA? A: About five counting kids and juniors. Q: What is your favorite class? A: I don t know. Maybe Music Video or Mini Musical. Q: How long are you here for? A: Five weeks because I LOVE THIS CAMP!!
