Music Director Phillips Academy Andover | Fall 2016
Every year, for parent's weekend, several seniors create and produce the Grasshopper Variety Show. The performance is typically themed and includes 12-15 music, dance, or musical theatre acts and includes several skits performed by student MCs. The directors of the Grasshopper Show are responsible for determining the theme, selecting acts and MCs, helping the performers perfect their acts, and working with the MCs to create their skits.
In 2016, the Grasshopper Variety Show theme was "New York, New York." Along with a team of four other students, we put together a performance that included over 100 student performers. I worked primarily with the music groups both on their musical performance and on the movement or accompanying choreography they hoped to involve.
