The Musical debut - May 5th and 6th, 2017
Edison Ensemble and the Edison MVP Team
This year the Edison Ensemble will be performing an original musical entitled, "Full STEAM Ahead!" It will be held at Antioch High School, May 5th at 6:30 pm and again Saturday, May 6th at a 1:00 pm matinee showing. The play is a reflection of the rich creativity at our own school - the collaborative effort of Thomas Edison's seasoned songwriters, Christopher Blackmon, Erin Horner and Cait Robertson, and Edison parent and Grammy award winner Mike Wright. The production will have the musical and theatrical direction of Marie Morris and Blair Perry. Our production will also feature guest singer/actor Moiba Mustapha.
The 2015-16 school year was a hallmark year for the school's music department with the production of the first Thomas Edison Elementary school original music CD. Now in 2016-17 we plan to move the project further by weaving the songs and the focus on innovation into a full-length musical stage play. The Edison Ensemble will begin practicing as early as November with the hopes of putting on a truly groundbreaking performance.
The Edison MVP Team will also be busy this year with the production of their second music video. A Performance by the Edison Ensemble of a brand new song entitled, "Faces" will become the subject of the teams' collaboration. The video is scheduled to be released Thursday, April 20th, 2017.
Right now, this site will act as a portal for our students to connect and prepare, and for the leaders of these two groups to share information with participants. If you are in Edison Ensemble, practice tracks and lyric videos can be found under the Edison Ensemble tab, as well as important information about practice times and performance dates and details. If you are on the Edison MVP Team, you will find assignments, summaries and notes, and the vlog under the MVP Team tab.
