All Things Theatre

High School One Act

THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE

This weekend, the TCS Roaring Dramatics performed their one-act production of the traditional C. S. Lewis story The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. The show proved to be a success with audiences enjoying the story of the four Pevensie children who find themselves in the land of Narnia and meet whimsical characters including the Beaver family, Mr. Tumnus, and the powerful Aslan. The Roaring Dramatics shared with Trinity the wonderful power and divine love of our God, and audiences took home a story with a truly inspiring message. Next week, the cast and crew will go to perform at the Regional One Act Competition at Upson Lee High School. They will compete with eight other schools with this magical tale, spreading the power of God to other high schools through the art of theater!

MARCHING LIONS

As the weeks have passed since our first competition I am still in awe of what the Lord has done in this season. In true Jesus fashion, He does exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ever imagine. 

Sometimes I stand back and look at the band kids from 5th-12th grade and think “I pray they truly know how much Jesus loves them.” I try to keep myself in a heart posture of “Lord let me see them how YOU see them and help me to teach them”

Please keep praying for our band program and that the Lord will continue to show us how to set things in motion for each next season.  - Mrs. Palmer

Important Upcoming Marching Lions Dates

As we get closer to the end of our season we will dial back our rehearsals. Please be sure to check our schedule regularly. 

Our Friday night games have been extended by a few weeks due to the playoff season. Please make note in your schedules and watch for details.

DANCE

We are excited to announce our Dance Workshops for the Fall semester. For the Fall semester, Ms. Michelina Ryan will be leading our students in these sessions, with the goal of building to more regular opportunities in the Spring semester and beyond.  Michelina is a student at Anderson University in South Carolina studying dance.  She has worked with our students in a number of ways already including dance groups, theatre, workshops, and more.  We are so excited to have her in leadership here, as she has so much to offer both artistically and spiritually to our students.

INSTRUMENT REPAIR

We use Big Note Music for on site repair of many of our musical instruments.  If you have an instrument that needs repair as the school year begins, this may be a great option for you.  The process works with you filling out an online form, pre-paying for the repair, and then they come for a scheduled repair session right on our Trinity campus.  Your student wouldn’t be away from their instrument except when it’s on the repair table.  This convenient option has worked for us for a few years now.  Simply fill out the online form and let us know that a repair has been scheduled.
