Bury The Dead Wins Zone Competition

The cast and crew of Bury the Dead gave a great performance yesterday evening at El Dorado High School to advance to the District contest at the Chamizal theatre next week. The play advanced along with Canutillo High School's production of Cider House Rules. The Riverside crew took home the best technical award for their work in lights, sound, and makeup. Andy Medina, Jose Lopez, David Zambrano, Ashley Parra, Ivan Reveles, and Jasmine Cobos took howm individual acting awards for theri outstanding work on stage. I was a little hard on the cast after their performance and I realize know that maybe being perfect isn't the most important thing. These kids gave everything they had and I should be proud of that. Sometimes winning gets in the way and clouds my judgment. I want the kids to know that I am proud to be their director and know that great things are in store for us with a little hard work. We will be watching Zone 2 perform tonight at El Dorado. Parkland, Horizon and Ysleta will be taking the stage at 4:00 pm. I heard that Andres and Chapin high school also advanced out of their zone last night. I would like to thank all the parents who went to the show last night for their support. Information on the District competition will be posted tonight.
