A few days ago, Firestone High School was named as Fox 8 Morning Show's "Cool School" of the week. that means we get to take our 15 minutes in the Northeast Ohio spotlight. A camera crew and morning show regular Kenny Krumpton were here yesterday to shoot some video that will air tomorrow (Thursday, February 12, 2009) between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m.
I have never watched this program segment before so I do not know quite what to expect. I do know that they shot video in one of the art rooms as well as during a mens chorus rehearsal in the choir room so the arts should be well-represented in the segment. We all piled into the gym for a brief assembly that featured a performance by the step team and a lot of yelling and screaming on the part of our student body.
Thanks mostly to our principal they also shot the orchestra rehearsal a number from THE PRODUCERS as well as our Max and Leo in costume singing part of a song from the show. This was shot in the chior room so taht it would sound better and because the stage is too full of half-built scenery to much good to anyone.
I am glad that we were able to provide some material from THE PRODUCERS because maybe it will sell a few tickets. I know that one of the things we need to do is make people aware that we are doing this show -- it might be popular enough that theatre lovers outside the school community will come to see THE PRODUCERS if they just know about it. I think people watching Fox 8 tomorrow will know a little bit about it and hopefully some of them will come to see the show.
