Our KM Perform Musical rehearsals for Into the Woods started as a daily seminar. Adding a class for a musical allows actors, orchestra musicians, and tech crew to earn credit and gain valuable experience while not adding another commitment to their already full schedule.
Almost a third of KM Perform students participated in seminars to help produce "Legends and Lore" at Old World Wisconsin. This partnership with the Wisconsin Historical Society site has KM Perform students researching and producing scenes and spending 3 consecutive weekends entertaining thousands of visitors.
KM Perform students joined the KMHAS campus Drama Club to prepare for the Wisconsin Interscholastic Speech & Dramatic Arts Association's (WISDAA) One Act Theatre Competition
KM Perform students had 2 full studio days in October dedicated to individual arts and academic work. Several students took part in a workshop to start a garage band!
KM Perform music students participated with the KM band on the soft opening of the renovated KM Auditorium. Along with new seats and a refreshed foyer, this $1.5 million renovation brings a state the art lighting and automated theatre fly system to our community. KM Perform students will have one of the most advanced performance and training facilities of any high school music and theatre program.
Bonus: Wellness is a big part of what we promote in KM Perform. Several students participated in a hiking seminar to participate in the Mammoth Challenge, a team challenge to hike 44 miles of Wisconsin's National Ice Age Trail in October.
