And if you don’t feel like getting dressed up and going out, consider carry out from Mamma Lucia’s that day–you benefit–you don’t have to cook AND you get a great meal and Farquhar benefits! Help yourself and help Farquhar at the same time! Every little bit helps.

That’s right, Farquhar Family–it’s time to get out your tap shoes, dust off your juggling balls, pull out your ventriloquist dummy and get ready for VARIETY SHOW NIGHT AT FARQUHAR!!

What’s your talent? Come out and show us! We will be holding auditions for Variety Show Night on Tuesday, November 22nd at 3 pm in Chorus Room 38. So figure out what kind of talent you want to wow your classmates with and try out! We will be accepting up to 25 different acts for this year’s variety show. Your act shouldn’t be any longer than about 3 minutes so choose wisely! There will be TWO rehearsals–one on December 6th and the second on December 8th and the SHOW WILL GO ON December 9th at 7 pm. (If you are trying out for the Spring show, don’t worry, we will make allowances as Dec. 6th is also callbacks for the Spring show.)

One last disclaimer – if we get less than 15 acts, the show will not be held so make sure you urge your classmates to try out. We want to have the best EVER Variety Show at Farquhar.

So You Think You Can – Dance, Act, Sing, Juggle, Twirl, Tumble, Do Magic, Read Minds, Make Us Laugh, Mime, Play an Instrument, — ENTERTAIN US??? Then show up for auditions on November 22nd at 3 pm in Room 38 and PROVE IT!!

Lynn Jenner and Melissa Gatlin will be the cho-chairs for this event. If you have any questions please feel free to email Lynn at lynn.a.jenner@nasa.gov

P.S. We need your help with sets and backstage work for this extravaganza — but don’t worry — sets will be minimal, but we would like your help all the same! Contact Lynn if you’d like to help us with sets or backstage help.

On October 10, 2011 at 7:30 am right before the Farquhar Open House, Principal Morris will present “The State of the African-American Students at Farquhar.”

Immediately following our discussion, you are encouraged to visit your child’s classroom for MCPS’s Open House Day. All are welcome!
