Mary Catherine MusickHey gang! We had some "proud parent" news today...our oldest daughter, Mary Catherine, was awarded a dance scholarship to MTSU, the university she's been attending for the past 2 years. She was originally on scholarship at Cincinatti Conservatory, but had to withdraw due to a fluke injury to her toe (not a good thing for a ballet dancer!). After surgery and a couple of years of recovery, she is back dancing with a passion. She is an amazing dancer (and singer) and has thoroughly enjoyed her time in the program at MTSU. Way to go MC! Here is a shot from her spring concert last year.
I had a chance to see another run of "Hit Me With a Hot Note" today. This cast is learning quickly and doing a great job of making corrections from the vocal and dance notes they've been given. David Patton, our GM and the show's musical director, observed today and seemed quite pleased with the performance. They have a lot of new material to still learn, but they are in good shape for an on-time completion.
Monday's are always busy at GMC. We started the day with staff meeting and production meetings to make sure we are on track with everything coming up in the next few months. We have a great number of projects happening in the next 3 weeks, and they just keep coming! Thanks to a staff with a lot of depth and commitment, we are able to handle almost anything that comes our way. We are currently working on projects that range from new shows being created for state of the art cruise ships to a new show for Dollywood's children's entertainment program. Numerous corporate, association, and charitable events are also underway. And, the cast of Celebrity's MILLENNIUM arrived today with rehearsals starting tomorrow, so our rehearsal facility is in full swing!
Speaking of the MILLENNIUM, I had a nice conversation today with Jim D'Amico, a former director of entertainment for Celebrity Cruises. He is now a freelance producer with clients in the cruise, casino, and corporate entertainment businesses. Jim was instrumental in helping us get started in the cruise ship entertainment production world. It was great to catch up with him!
On personal note...my taxes are done! Whoo hoo! We've actually filed on time for the second year in a row. Believe me, that is an accomplishment for us! Thanks to our accountant, Kay Quinn, for helping us make this happen. Hope you are all in the home stretch on your own taxes. Good luck hitting that deadline!
