Though Evan is going through a lot and a bit high-strung, he's smart and resourceful and ultimately does the right thing. Gender: Male Vocal range: G5 - C4 Patrice Patrice has big dreams of getting out of her small town. She's clever and a bit shy and marches to the beat of her own drum – but, unfortunately, these qualities make her an outcast at school. Patrice must have the most dramatic range, both as an actor and a singer, of any female in your show. Gender: Female Vocal range: E5 - Ab3 Archie Patrice's best friend. Archie walks on crutches due to his muscular dystrophy. He has a dark sense of humor and a general sense of urgency about living his life to the fullest, which includes going on a date with Kendra. A note about Archie: it's important to talk with your actor, and the whole cast, about muscular dystrophy and how the disease can affect someone's life, especially if the actor playing Archie isn't disabled. Gender: Male Vocal range: A5 - B3 Brett Sampson The stereotypical "cool guy" – he's athletic, commands a squad of minions, and is "not quite as bright as a postage stamp." In addition to not being very bright, Brett isn't a very nice person, although he finds himself in a genuine emotional dilemma over his feelings for Kendra. Gender: Male Vocal range: C6 - E4 Eddie Part of Brett's entourage. Gender: Male Vocal range: G5 - C4 Malcolm Part of Brett's entourage. Gender: Male Vocal range: G5 - E4 Cassie A cheerleader. Gender: Female Vocal range: C5 - Bb3 Charlotte A cheerleader. Gender: Female Vocal range: F5 - C4 Kendra The most popular girl in school and is generally oblivious to how much attention other people are paying to her – she's happy to work on her cheerleading and clueless when she's included in the plots of others. Though, like Brett, Kendra may not be the smartest kid in school, unlike him, she doesn't fall back on bullying and meanness – she's genuinely nice, if somewhat shallow and a bit naïve. Gender: Female Vocal range: C5 - Bb3 Lucy Kendra's best friend. The quintessential "mean girl." She's manipulative, dishonest, insecure, and unapologetic – although Evan is nicknamed "The Brain," Lucy is the one pulling all the strings at the junior high. Gender: Female Vocal range: D5 - F#3 Molly One of the girls at school and quick to defer to Lucy. She is happy to gossip about the drama, though she's never quite in the middle of any of it. Gender: Female Vocal range: C#5 - F#3 Simon Part of Brett's entourage. Gender: Male Vocal range: E5 - Bb3 Richie Part of Brett's entourage. Gender: Male Vocal range: B4 - Bb3 Guy 1 Part of Brett's entourage.

Hal Leonard Vocal Competition - 2019 Winners | Hal Leonard THE 2019 HAL LEONARD VOCAL COMPETITION WINNERS Hal Leonard, the world's largest print music publisher and the world leader in vocal music, launched the exciting and innovative concept of a serious music competition for voice students comprised entirely of YouTube video entries. We believe this to be the first legitimate music competition for musicians of various ages, children through college, to be held entirely on the Internet. The required repertoire was largely drawn from art song and musical theatre literature. The deadline for entry was February 2, 2019. Judging has been concluded, and we are pleased to announce the art song and musical theatre results in the four age categories of competition. Congratulations to the prize winners! We were encouraged by the commitment and seriousness of purpose shown in the video entries. If these are a representative sampling, there are clearly many dedicated students and teachers at all levels who have embraced our heritage of music literature. We thank all those who entered for confirming that this experimental venture was more than worthwhile. And we also thank the teachers and parents who guided the voice students in this competition. Thank you also to all the accompanists for their key participation.

Hal Leonard Vocal Competition - 2017 Winners | Hal Leonard THE 2017 HAL LEONARD VOCAL COMPETITION WINNERS Hal Leonard, the world's largest print music publisher and the world leader in vocal music, launched the exciting and innovative concept of a serious music competition for voice students comprised entirely of YouTube video entries. We believe this to be the first legitimate music competition for musicians of various ages, children through college, to be held entirely on the Internet. The required repertoire was largely drawn from art song and musical theatre literature. The deadline for entry was February 1, 2017. Judging has been concluded, and we are pleased to announce the art song and musical theatre results in the four age categories of competition. Congratulations to the prize winners! We were encouraged by the commitment and seriousness of purpose shown in the video entries. If these are a representative sampling, there are clearly many dedicated students and teachers at all levels who have embraced our heritage of music literature. We thank all those who entered for confirming that this experimental venture was more than worthwhile. And we also thank the teachers and parents who guided the voice students in this competition. Thank you also to all the accompanists for their key participation.
