VOTE - ORPHEUM HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL THEATRE PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD Thanks for the kind words many of you have posted this week over SBA's nominations for the Orpheum High School Musical Theatre Awards (which will be held May 25 at the Orpheum). Were fortunate enough to perform at the awards ceremony for the 5th year in a row as one of the 7 nominees for Outstanding Overall Production (something we’ve been up for 6 out of the 8 years they’ve had these awards, by the way). You can also help us win an award by voting for the People’s Choice Award. In all honesty, there are some schools that enlist whole armies of people and devices to make sure they win this one. Here’s the link, feel free to vote and/or share it. Vote often through May 20. Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2017HSMTAPeoplesChoice
