On Saturday, April 30 - Frank Hurt classes and dance teams competed against sixteen other high schools at Outbreak at Chandos Pattison Theatre. My students made me so proud! I was just in yoga and I got a little verklempt thinking about how lucky I am to have so many awesome students to work with. You guys shined yesterday. I got compliments from the registration table - our school was the best at registration - polite, organized and in alphabetical order. Thank-you!!!!!

Now for our booty: The grade 8's won 2nd in the junior class division. The grade 9/10 class was competing against the boys class in the intermediate class division and they won 2nd and 1st. Matt and Josh danced at intermission because they won first for their junior duo at Outbreak Small Teams. The Junior Dance team did not place but they danced really well. The Senior dance team won FIRST and Andrew won first for his choreography as well. Anjali danced in a surprise piece at the end with Navid and Mica. And finally, the Bboys battled against Kwantlen Park and took second in the break battle. It was an amazing day! AWESOME job EVERYONE!!! Check out the videos from yesterday:

OTHER INFO:

- no food or drinks allowed in the theatre
- do not use make-up or hair products in the theatre
- no dancers backstage unless they are about to perform
- please enter/exit theatre in between numbers and limit excessive yelling during dances
- please leave washrooms tidy and free for spectators (not an area for hair & make-up)
- Chandos will provide a concession with limited choices. Pack a snack if needed.
- Dancers must make their own transportation arrangements to and from the event.

PARKING: When you enter the parking lot, the theatre is to the far right of the school in a separate building. Please follow the parking lot attendants if the lots get full. There may be plenty of traffic. If you are dropping off students, there is a front drive round about that you may use but please drive with care as there will be many excited students.

RUN-THROUGH & COMPETITION:
- Following registration and having been shown your seats, an usher will take dancers back stage the same way they will travel during competition. They will go through the back holding area, into the green room and then be called on stage.

- Back stage, the green room is quite large and will hold 2 groups. There are change rooms equipped with toilets for dancers in the hold.

- After your dance, please exit the stage using the left staircase so the next team can start as soon as possible.

- Please respect the ushers as they are volunteers. We really want to be able to return to this theatre in the future so please discuss proper behavior with your dancers.


FINALLY, we want everyone to enjoy this event. Your cooperation is much appreciated.
The talent that teachers have helped foster over the years is very evident at Outbreak. Bravo for an outstanding job!

Audacity - Music Editing

Audacity

You can download Audacity at home by going to: audacity.sourceforge.net/download (or just Google Audacity!)

1. First you need to have music to edit. Your music needs to be in MP3 format. You can e-mail yourself the music, bring a CD, or your MP3 player with the USB cords.

2. If your music is in WAV format (you can hear play it on a normal CD player) then you have to convert it to an MP3. You can do this using Windows media player. Open the file in Media Player. Go to Options and change the format to MP3. Then RIP it. Remember to name and save the file somewhere you can easily find it again!

3. Open Audacity

4. Project: Import Audio – browse to find your song. You can only import one song at a time. (You can also drag and drop)

5. Edit your song. Highlight areas to add effects or listen to that one area. You should always listen to the area before you cut it so that you know that you have the correct selection. Little pointer hands will come up to make adjustments to your highlighted area if you go near the edge of your selection. You can use the magnifying glass to make the song bigger and this will make it easier to make the perfect cut.

6. Project: New Stereo Track. This is where you can paste the parts you want to make your version of the song.

7. When you are done creating your masterpiece, delete everything except for the one that you want to save. If you don’t delete all the other songs they will save as one song all combined.. very noisy!!

8. File: Export as WAV or MP3 (If you use SAVE AS it will not work!!!)

9. Finished!
