Performing in the Germantown Academy Middle School
production of The Music Man was truly
an incredible experience! It was exciting to act and sing with other Middle School
students as we went through three spectacular shows. The show was not so much about
me as it was everyone else including the rest of the cast, stage crew, the
musicians, and the directors Mrs. Rominger and Mrs. Donches. Everyone brought
their focus and concentration to the table to ensure that the musical would be
as fantastic as it possibly could be. The Friday night show was sold out and
left every audience member in awe of our performance.

The production The
Music Man was probably one of the strongest shows the GA Middle School has
ever produced. As the main character Harold Hill, I had the amazing experience
of learning complex songs, duets, and solos while acting as a charlatan in the
year 1912. The Music Man was probably
one of the most interesting musicals I have ever taken part in so far. The cast
and I have worked very hard memorizing our lines, dance numbers, and stage
movement. And all of our persistence led to three shows where each and every
time, the audience left in amazement at what they had seen.

The reason I have grown such a passion for the arts is
mainly because of GA. I feel that I have the opportunity to express myself in
whichever interest I have here. Our theatre art programs really give everyone
the opportunity to express themselves in the arts. With the fall play and
winter musical, GA really lets kids express their desire for acting, singing,
and even a bit of dancing! And as I go into the GA Upper School next year, I
know I’ll join the Drama and Improv club, The Belfry, in order to further pursue
my interest in the arts.
