LAST weekly update.. May 2, 2008
Lil' drama: We will be having rehearsal in the sanctuary next week. We will meet in the discipleship house then walk over. Bring all costumes/props so we can practice before our performance next week!
Older drama: This past Friday was the worst rehearsal we have had this year. I noticed that the majority of the class did not practice their lines this past week. As our performance is in 6 days, the students have A LOT of work to do. They need to be going over their lines at least twice a day since it seems they do not know them. Most of the families that attend AAL are going to be watching the performance... all their friends and family. I'm sure the students do not want to perform and have me telling them their every line. And this messes up the actors that DO practice their lines. Drama is work.. but fun work if the students have the right attitude. We are performing a drama with a message, please don't let the time we have put into this play be wasted the last week. So please, please, PLEASE go over your student(s) lines this week.. this is our last week and we want out performance to rock!!
This group will also have rehearsal in the sanctuary. If you are late, that is where we will be. Bring costumes, props, and scripts.
TKD: Next week is our last testing!! This past Friday we went over what we will be doing next week and here is some critique on each student.
Jacob - Chun gi was good. On Dan Gun, make sure you turn the right way. On the first twin-forearm block, it's a back leg turn. On the second twin-forearm block, it is a front leg turn. Same with the chops, first is a back leg, the second is a front leg.
Zack - Your forms are really nice -- the only thing you need to add is STRENGTH!
Benjamin - Chun gi was good, just make sure you go over it a few times this week. You also need to work on your turns in Dan Gun. On the first twin-forearm block, it's a back leg turn. On the second twin-forearm block, it is a front leg turn. Same with the chops, first is a back leg, the second is a front leg.
Frankie - You know your forms as well, just go over them a lot. We want smooth forms -- no thinking!
Kindle - Chun gi and Dan gun were pretty good. Those can be made smoother if you have time. Do San and Wan Yo should be practiced to refresh. And Yul Gok needs to be practiced, practiced, practiced!! I do not know what break you will be doing.. I did an elbow but you never know what Master Steve will come up with. Also! Work on push-ups.. Try doing 10 for a couple of days, then add the extra 5.
Over all --> Everyone needs HARD punches, HARD kicks, and HARD blocks. Kiahs need to be LOUD (you are graded on that), and your bowing perfect and very respectful (you are graded on this as well). Remember, if I tell you to do something or Master Steve, BOW! Also, when he comes in the door, it is very respectful to bow to him.
For our demo:
Jacob, Zack, Benjamin, and Frankie will be demonstrating Chun gi and Dan gun all together. Kindle and Travis will be breaking 1 piece of wood each. I'm not sure if we can do this or not... but to be prepared, the first class is going to talk about the Tenets of Tae Kwon Do. Jacob has courtesy, Zack is integrity, Ben is perseverance, and Frankie is self-control. All they have to do is say,
"The first tenet of Tae Kwon do it Courtesy and it means to be respectful of this and that.."
If you have any questions on anything, please let me know!
All photos by Mary King will be up by Monday! There are about 200 up so far... 200 more to go!

During the second TKD class we had a competition to see who could stay in the push up position the longest ...
In first place was Travis with 5 minutes and 5 seconds
and in second was Hudson who almost made it to 5 minutes!
So.. the first TKD class will have to try to beat that record!
See you guys next week. :-)

PHOTOS BY MARY KING - THIS FRIDAY APRIL 25TH!
Please bring $5 (for each class) if you plan on having pictures made. All costumes/uniforms need to be brought. You do not have to buy photos. Either way, the whole class needs to be in the group shot. There are no extra fees.
Younger drama: You guys are doing great!
For photos:
Audrey: Little Red Riding hood costume
Jaiden: we are going to miss you!
Maille: Pink shirt, yellow shirt, step-mother costume + apple
Older drama: No excuses next week if you forget costumes! I think everyone has theirs, but pack it the night before and put it in the car so it is not forgotten! Practice your lines as well! If you don't, you mess everyone up, not just yourself. I don't know if we will have time to run through the play.
TKD: All you guys needs for photos is uniforms. Make sure you are practicing forms at home with POWER! Sleeves need to snap on those punches! =].
Also.. I want to know if any TKD student in interested in doing a presentation during the AAL End of the Year program? This is could be performing their favorite form or reciting vocab or tenets. For my older class, MAYBE a breaking. We will have to work on those. Let me know if anyone is interested!
ALSO! The end of the year is soon. Please make sure payments are in. Thank you.
