Districts 2014: One Critic’s Choice, Three Best of Shows
District competition: a massive gathering of theatre kids and professionals from Brevard and Osceola County. Students prepare pieces for adjudication in numerous categories, including monologues, duets, large group musicals, pantomimes, costume / set design, among many others. Each year, theatre troupes from around the county meet to showcase their talent, receive feedback on performance and technical pieces, and compete among other troupes. Students receive awards based on their adjudication; awards are based on a scale of poor, fair, good, excellent, and superior (in that order). Awards for best of show are given for each category. When the day concludes, all of the best of shows perform an additional time in front of the entire district. A best, best of show is then chosen for both technical pieces and performance pieces; this is known as the Critic’s Choice. A critic’s choice piece will perform in front of thousands of people on the opening night of state competition.
The moment State competition ended last March, students began preparing for this year’s competitive thespian season. A long period of selection, rehearsal, and preparation began. On the day of districts, members of Troupe 5476 awoke to an alarmingly early alarm clock (around 5:00 AM). The bus pulled out from the school, after a slight delay, around 6:30 AM. The Troupe was greeted by a chilly breeze and hundreds of other energetic thespians on arrival at St. Cloud High School. Events began at 9:00 AM and continued through 3:30 PM with an hour break for lunch.
The thespians of Troupe 5476 spent the day with their buddies; attending their events, performing, and presenting. Even Hairlip III participated in events of the day. He appeared at various performances to support the troupe.
When the performances ended, the Troupe gathered around in the commons waiting for their awards and critiques. Mr. Buck soon appeared with good news, “It’s been a long time since we’ve had a best of show. This year we have three.” Best of Shows were awarded to Sam Spencer for Monologues, Isabel Prado for Solo Musical, and Gwyneth Maio for Costume Design. Paige Boulton received a Superior for her Costume Design and was runner-up for Best of Show. Sam and Isabel performed at the closing ceremonies in front of an audience of more than 700 people. Gwyneth and Paige were recognized, at the same ceremony, for their technical presentations. The ceremony ended with the announcement of Gwyneth Maio as the technical Critic’s Choice. Well-deserved cheers and applause erupted from the audience. Troupe 5476 knocked it out of the park, chanting “One of us” and “Go Gwyn” as they departed from Districts 2014.
Look who we ran into at states!! Thomas Sanders!
My favorite part of State was performing our Large Group 'Springtime For Hitler' even though we only got a good, it was one of the best times in my life. I only got to perform at state one time, this was my one and only year going, and it was worth it. Troupe 4009 represent!
I love that number! Great show, anything Mel Brooks is spectacular!
finally have some time to calm down
phantom of the opera totally consumed my life the past week.. and the shows went amazing! i wish we got to perform it more than twice. i'm sincerely going to miss the seniors. then we left for state saturday morning at 3am just to compete. there wasn't an open chair in the room and some people had to stand up to watch me. random people came up to me all day telling me they thought i was hilarious :) even though i missed superior by less than a point, i wouldn't have wanted to spend the day any differently than with my troupe.
Also, best thing about states was seeing Annie Get Your Gun!
I MET SO MANY THESPIANS AND NOW I FOUND SOME ON TUMBLR SO IT'S LIKE STATES HAVE JUST MOVED ONLINE AND I LOVE ALL FL THESPIANS! WHEN IS STATES? I WANT STATES NOW! I CANT WAIT A YEAR, LOOK AT MY CAPS LOCK, THIS SHOWS I CANT WAIT A YEAR
