MAYOR JOINS THE
JUNIORS
After seeing the Tiverton Junior Operatic Club performing their sell out High School Musical show in Tiverton in February, the Mayor of Tiverton, Kevin Wilson, promised to visit the club to see what actually goes on when the members are not on stage. The Mayor watched part of the normal Thursday night meeting in which the Club were taking part in a theatre workshop activity, followed by rehearsing songs for their forthcoming “Showcase Concert” which is to take place at the New Hall, Tiverton on July 11th. Addressing the youngsters during a break in the workshop, the Mayor told the Club that he had been impressed with High School Musical and was also impressed with the way the youngsters were willing to take part in exercises which required them to perform in front of each other. He commented that he understood the nervousness that must be overcome when speaking in front of an audience. He asked the youngsters what it was they enjoyed about coming to the Club and a variety of answers were given, including, making new friends, gaining confidence and the feeling of being in one big (extended) family. Not to be outdone,
the Mayor joined the Club for a big group photo to commemorate the visit.

| 9th Nov 2006 | The deadline for the poster competition has been extended until next Thursday (16th November). Remember, there is a prize for the winning entry, as well as seeing your design around Tiverton and used for the promotion of the show. (Entries on A4 paper please, you don’t need to put any words on it, and remember; the simple designs usually work best!) |
| 5th Nov 2006 | This evening, members of the TJOC were kindly invited to the TAOS bonfire party, where they enjoyed a bonfire, fireworks and hot food. Thanks to the TAOS for their hospitality, the members all enjoyed the evening. |
| 1st Nov 2006 | Rehearsals after half term restart on tomorrow (Thursday 2nd November). There's not long to go before we begin setting the show, so we need full concentration at rehearsals so that we can make ATWIED a really good show! |
| 28th Oct 2006 | Site updated with new links added (Archives, Rehearsal Schedule and Photos). Watch this space for more pictures and newspaper cuttings from past shows and social events.

| 19th Oct 2006 | We need your suggestions for the next show.

| 12th Oct 2006 | The cast list has now been finalised and will be displayed at rehearsals. Congratulations to all of those who have been given parts, and good luck. Remember that chorus work is just as important as principal parts, so those who haven't been allocated roles in the production will still have plenty to do, and will be playing one of the most important parts in the show! |
| 24th Sept 2006 | Auditions took place this afternoon. The auditioning committee deliberated long and hard before deciding whom should take which the lead roles in our forthcoming production. They were very impressed by all of the auditionees, and would like to congratulate everyone who conquered their nerves this afternoon. |
| 7th Sept 2006 | Rehearsals started this evening with an impressive turnout of 41, including 12 boys! Andrew Curtis, our Musical Director, soon had us practicing our audition songs. |

The Juniors visited Torquay to watch Torquay Operatic & Dramatic Society's production of 'Summer Holiday'. The trip was enjoyed by all, and it is assured that more theatre visits will be arranged in the future. |
| 10th June 2006 | TJOC members were kindly invited to a barbeque out in Chettiscombe, and to watch England's first World Cup match against Paraguay. The hospitality, along with the food, was excellent and much-appreciated, although most ended up going home slightly wetter than when they came, following an unpredicted water-fight! |
| 8th May 2006 | 'Around The World In Eighty Days' has been chosen as the TJOC's 28th production. The club has never performed the show, based on the Jules Verne classic novel, before (it was only written in 2000). The Junior members were given the opportunity to vote on their preferred show, from a shortlist including 'Pirates Of Penzance', 'Blitz' and 'ATWIED'. |
| 10th April 2006 | Kev Behan has agreed to direct 2007's production. This will be the fourth time he has worked with the TJOC, as well as working in his home town with the Barnstaple Young Generation. Andrew Curtis will be the Musical Director, and Sue Wightmore will take the role of the choreographer, completing an identical line-up to last year's show! |
