STAR Student Week of 10/19 to 10/23/2009

Congratulations Jonathan for being the STAR student this week!

Keyboarding Lab

These are pictures of the new Keyboarding Lab.  Mr. Simon stated, "There aren't many labs in this part of the state, so it is a bold and innovative undertaking."  The lab was purchased through Aabaca, a music company from Minneapolis, and the Yamaha Music Corporation.  Mr. Simon and Mr. Ryan installed the lab in the science room in the high school this fall.
The lab allows eight clients and a teacher to play the piano and listen to each other.  Each student gets a lesson that must be completed that day.  The teacher listens to the students while they are practicing.  If the student plays it right, it can be shared with the rest of the class.  When the class has mastered that lesson, they perform it together.  Only then are they allowed to go to the next lesson.  So far the Middle and High School vocal students are the only students that have been able to use the lab, but hopefully soon it will be available to all Rabiner clients and staff.
Awesome job Mr. Simon and Mr. Kelleher!  Way to integrate new and exciting technology into the classroom!

Iowa Central Community College "Noises Off" Play

On Wednesday, October 14th, all of the Rabiner students and staff were invited to Iowa Central Community College to see the dress rehearsal of the play "Noises Off." The play was about a play from the backstage perspective. All three acts are different views of the play, "Nothing On." Read below to find out about each act in this hilarious comedy.

 

This picture portrays all the cast members and the theater director, Teresa Jackson.

 

Act One

Act One is set at the dress rehearsal, the night before the opening of the play. The cast members are still having a hard time remembering their lines, where they are suppose to be, and props in the wrong places.

Act Two

Act Two follows the same play but a month later and backstage. The characters are fighting amongst themselves and doing things backstage and on-stage to cause more chaos.

 

Act Three

Act Three is the final act of the play. It is set at the end of the ten-week run when the personal friction amongst the cast is at an all time high. The cast is bored and anxious to be done with the play. The actors are attempting to cover up mistakes but only make the performance worse.

The students really enjoyed this comedic play!! The director and cast did a wonderful job!! Thank you ICCC for inviting us to your dress rehearsal!
