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.

Well, unless you count his monster friends, but they're only imaginary. But now that he's turning ten-the big one-oh-he decides to throw a birthday party for himself, complete with a "House of Horrors" theme. Of course, things don't work out as he plans.

(Reprise 2) This Is Big Finale Cast of Characters Cast Size: Large (21 or more performers) Cast Type: Children Charley Maplewood The hero of our story. he's a nine-year-old about to turn ten with no clue about how to celebrate his upcoming birthday. His family has recently moved, so he's in a new school where he feels friendless. To cope with his loneliness, Charley has conjured up three imaginary friends - his Monsters - from the pages of his favorite comic book series, Monsters & Maniacs. Cast an actor who can sing, move, and act very well. The single most important quality to look for in an actor, however, is likeability. You want a Charley with whom your audience will fall in love and cheer for from the start. Gender: Male Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: A3 Boing Boing Charley's dog, his most patient and supportive friend. Without words, Boing Boing communicates with a whimper or a bark, a turn of the head, a scowl, the lifting of a paw, or the raising of an eyebrow. Cast an actor with good physicality and a sense of playfulness. A clever and agile performer can improvise moments beyond those in the script. Mrs. Cleveland Fresno's biggest snoop and the neighborhood busybody. Cast an actress with a BIG speaking voice who's unafraid to overact - someone who can dominate the stage whenever she enters. She has no solos but should be able to contribute to ensemble numbers. Gender: Female Dad Charley's father, lives in Scotland but pops up whenever Charley refers to him. He's big-hearted and upbeat, even though he never seems to get the date of Charley's birthday right. He's a chef - a really good one, according to Charley. Look for an actor with a good voice, a strong sense of rhythm, and a big smile. Gender: Male Vocal range top: F5 Vocal range bottom: C4 Zombie King, Swampy, and Alien Charley's imaginary friends - his 3 Monsters. When Charley is feeling frazzled or friendless, his Monsters appear to talk him through any dilemma. To play these fantastical creations, cast actors who can give their own special spin to these characters, starting with quirky speaking voices that will differentiate them. Look for actors who are physically adept, since these 'creatures' might squat or slither or jump or roll as they weave their way around Charley. They sing together a lot, so be sure your actors are good with harmonies. Vocal range top: C5 Vocal range bottom: A3 Garry Quarky Charley's puzzling next- door neighbor. He starts out seeming like a scatterbrained mad scientist, but eventually reveals himself to be a talented creator of special effects who shares many of Charley's interests - not only in Monsters & Maniacs but in all sorts of scary and ooky stuff as well. Their friendship is one of the most surprising in Charley's young life. Cast an excellent actor and singer with improvisational and comedic skills who is also able to handle props with ease. Gender: Male Vocal range top: G5 Vocal range bottom: C4 Mom A nurse with a challenging work schedule, patient and supportive of both her children, always trying to figure them out as best she can. She goes out of her way to say good things about her ex-husband (Dad) whenever he comes up. Cast a steadfast actress with a calm demeanor and a ready smile whom we'll believe can weather the obstacles facing a single mother of two. She has a very small solo ("Lullaby"), but sings in group numbers. Gender: Female Vocal range top: C#5 Vocal range bottom: A3 Lorena Charley's eye-rolling older sister who works at a fast-food restaurant. Because she is always tossing her hair and scoffing in exasperation, look for an actress who's not afraid to be funny. Lorena carries one number ("So Lame"), which is deceptive in its difficulty. Cast an actress with a good sense of timing who can hold her own when singing harmonies with others. Gender: Female Vocal range top: C#5 Vocal range bottom: A3 Lillian, Lilith, and Leilani (The 3 L's) Lorena's friends who sing backup for her during "So Lame." Cast performers who can match Lorena's teenage attitude and are comfortable singing tight harmonies. Gender: Female Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: F#4 Donna Pointer The most popular girl in school. She's a bouncy social butterfly who has lots of friends and a very full calendar. She has important solo lines in several numbers, so cast someone with a solid singing voice who can exude effervescent enthusiasm. Gender: Female Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: F#4 Dina and Dana Donna's best friends. These three go everywhere together, so cast actors who can match Donna's high energy. Gender: Female Vocal range top: Bb4 Vocal range bottom: F4 Darryl Egbert The smartest boy in fourth grade. He's also a bit of a mess. His brain - and his mouth - are constantly running at a hundred miles an hour as he obsesses and processes every little thing. The role requires an actor who can explode with energy while also accurately delivering some challenging Gender: Male Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: D4 Cougar Together with Scottie - Fresno Elementary School's resident bad guys. Cougar (whose real name is Leland, but don't call them that!) enjoys swaggering through the school hallways, acting tough but never following through on their threats. Cast any actor with an imposing physicality - someone with a lot of bark but no bite. Like all of Charley's classmates, Cougar must sing with conviction and power and be able to harmonize Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: A3 Scottie Cougar's sidekick - a bully without a mean bone in their body. Scottie, lacking Cougar's inventiveness, is always ready to go along with whatever shenanigans Cougar suggests. Cougar and Scottie together form a comedy duo, so cast two actors with strong voices who can make us (and each other) laugh! Vocal range top: C5 Vocal range bottom: A3 Jennifer Mobley New to Fresno Elementary School and having trouble making friends. But because they both share an interest in Monsters & Maniacs, Jennifer has targeted Charley with her aggressive excitement, dashing into every scene she's a part of and interrupting whatever else is going on. Her indomitable high spirits seem indestructible... until Charley fails to invite her to his birthday party. She carries one of the most important songs in the show - the only ballad! - so cast an actress with a strong voice and a good vocal range who can portray manic energy as well as wounded introspection Gender: Female Vocal range top: E5 Vocal range bottom: A3 Vince Champagne A back-slapping, loud- talking party planner who's unafraid to speak his mind, no matter whom he offends in the process. Vince is dating Mom, which is how he comes to offer Charley "Vince Champagne's three basics of a good birthday party." Cast an actor who - with his voice, personality, and physicality - can fill up a stage and mow down anyone who gets in his way. Gender: Male Vocal range top: D5 Vocal range bottom: B3 Assistant Andy and Assistant Annie Vince Champagne's assistants in "A Perfect Party." They each have brief featured solo lines in the song and sing with small groups too. These are great roles for young performers who are newer to the stage. Vocal range top: B4 Vocal range bottom: B3 Stacy Garry's ex-girlfriend. She has no sung solos but can shine during her brief breakup scene with Garry. This is a good role for a fantastic actor who can do a lot with a cameo. Gender: Female Ensemble Consists of Company, Monster Chorus, Students (Popular Kids, Bullies, Nerd Herd), Lion King Performers, Lion King Soloist, Jennifer's Mom, Jeffrey Stovall, Motorcycle Cop, and Garry's Community Theater Friends. These are great spots for anyone who'd like to be involved in your show! Note that Jennifer's Mom, Jeffrey Stovall, and Motorcycle Cop are non-singing.

The Music Man KIDS is family entertainment at its best � a bold, brassy show that will have the whole town atwitter! Master showman Harold Hill is in town and he's got "seventy-six trombones" in tow.

His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, whose belief in Harold's power just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself.

Cast an actor who has charisma and charm and is not afraid to take a positive risk onstage. He should be a good singer and mover and also have excellent acting chops. It is ideal if he has an excellent sense of rhythm. Your harold should pair up well with Marian, and the two together should exude a spark of excitement. Gender: Male Vocal Range: B3-G5 Marian Paroo Marian Paroo begins as an uptight librarian and transforms into a beautiful, trusting young woman. Marian should be a strong singer and actor, and also be able to move well. She must have an air of cofidence that draws Harold to her. Take some time during auditions to try different pairs of Harolds and Marians together until you reach the perfect combination. Gender: Female Vocal Range: G3-G5 Charlie Cowell Charlie Cowell is a Traveling Salesman, and is one of the premium acting-only roles in The Music Man KIDS. If you decide to have the actor playing Charlie also perform in the ensemble, take note to make sure he is not playing Charlie in those scenes. Cast a strong actor with a loud voice. Charlie should have a sense of confidence and love being onstage! Gender: Male Mayor Shinn Mayor Shinn should be able to perform his role as proud politician very seriously, yet have a sense of comic timing. This actor does not have to sung or dance, but is responsible for a great deal of pacing and line pick-ups in the show. Don't be afraid to cast a physically small acotr in this role, provided he can authoritative - it can bring down the house! Gender: Male Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn is a great role for a comic actress! If Eulalie takes herself seriously your audience will find her hysterical. She does have some singing and some moving, but creating a "larger than life" character that works with your Mayor Shinn is essential. Consider contrasting your physically small Mayor Shinn with a tall Eulalie for even more comic brilliance. Gender: Female Vocal Range: D4-D5 Marcellus Washburn Marcellus Washburn is the classic sidekick to Harold. His big number is "Shipoopi," so he should be a good singer, a great actor and be able to dance. Cast a kid who is natually funny and you will have a terrific Marcellus. Gender: Male Vocal Range: E4-D#5 Mrs. Paroo Mrs. Paroo is a good mother, stands up for what she beieves and gently pushes Marian to think of her future. The role requires an actress who can sing and act. However, she deosnt need to have a polished voice - the more character the better! Take into consideration your actress's ability to look maternal with Winthrop and Marian. Gender: Female Vocal Range: Ab3-Eb5 Winthrop Paroo Winthrop Paroo is Marian's shy younger brother who hardly talks because of his pronounced lisp. This is a great role for a young performer who is a good actor. Winthrop transforms from shy to outspoken, and not only sings but dances! Gender: Male Vocal Range: C4-Eb5 Amaryllis Amaryllis is Marian's slightly bratty, young piano student who has a crush on Winthrop. This is a great place to feature a young actor who is not quite ready for a large part, or who doesn't have a strong singing voice. Cast a girl who is a good actor and similar in size to Winthrop and Gracie. Gender: Female Tommy Djilas Tommy Djilas is the teen heartthrob in the show and a non-singing role. Cast a boy that can dance and create a strong character. Tommy's love interest is Zaneeta, so make sure the two characters have chemistry between them. Gender: Male Zaneeta Shinn Zaneeta Shinn is the oldest and slightly daffy daughter of the Mayor and Eulalie. Cast a girl who is a strong dancer. Although this is a non-singing role, a well-ast Zaneeta will gain mileage out of her classic "Ye gads!" line. Gender: Female Gracie Shinn Gracie Shinn is Zaneeta's little sister and the youngest daughter of the Mayor and Eulalie. The actor has few lines of dialogue, and if she is a good singer, she would be a fine choice to sing the first solo in "The Wells Fargo Wagon."

You will immediately recognize that some actors clearly "read" as adults onstage. Try to separate your groups into categories to create a realistic town.
