Well, what can I say to describe the awesomeness of the Jeremiah musical that was performed this evening! I think the fact that it was developed by our own people makes it just that much more special and seeing the campers perform so well, especially given the limited amount of practice time they had. It was just outstanding.
All the campers were involved in the production whether it was in the chorus or solo parts. The songs were inspiring, dramatic and melodic. I especially like "The Unstoppable Word". The musical alternated between narration and singing. Each girl/boy dorm performed in one act (chorus, solo, narrators). The rented backdrops reflected each scene well, along with the props which were made in house. Mr Ryan Malone composed the music and David Brandon did the lyrics, Paris Turgeon choreographed the Irish Dancers and Mr Turgeon was the Costumer, Brooke Davis and Paris Turgeon worked on the art designs, Mr Roger Brandon, David Brandon and Cecil Burks worked on constructing the scenes. Thanks to everyone else that helped in the production.
It truly was a wonderful performance and I cannot wait until you all get to see it. There will be another performance of it with professional singers during the ministerial conference on December 30. In the meantime you can get an idea from the photos in album 15 and this video of the finale courtesy of Mrs Hilliker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttBj7oPapK8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
