The Capitol GLEE program began last September as a musical addition to the Capitol STAGES program. Instructor Janet Schlackl and accompanist Ellen Vander Putten have built a solid program for young people to enjoy vocal training and learn the basics of choral singing, all while exposing them to a variety of great music and allowing them to have a lot of fun.
“MusicMayhem” will be the first stand alone show for the program so they have invited along some amazing young local talent to join them.
Christina Wynans is a well know local musician with a stellar voice and a seemingly endless musical talent. She has performed at many local events and is a shining light in the ADSS band and music programs.
J-Walk is a three piece rock band that formed early fall of 2010, composed of ADSS students Lucas Bosma, Cameron Stefiuk and Graham Villette. The band continues practices in Villette's basement with hope of creating good music to make people dance. The three players create music influenced by,AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Oasis, Kiss, and many others. J-Walk now continues to look for new places to play, more songs to jam, and new ideas for music. They are really pleased to be performing in the Capitol for the first time.
“We are very excited about the show” says GLEE instructor Janet Schlackl “ We have worked extremely hard to bring some tough numbers into the show but the kids have done a fantastic job getting ready. It going to be a great night with some really interesting and varied music.”
Capitol GLEE’s Music Mayhem plays Tuesday May 31 at 7pm. Doors open at 6:30. Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased at the Capitol Theatre box office Tues- Fri 1pm-5:30pm or at the door.
