Disney Musical

Last week, Leopold’s cast and crew participated in our musical production of Frozen Kids. Over 80 fourth and fifth graders participated this year.

Leopold applied for the Disney Musicals in Schools Grant (https://www.overture.org/engage/disney-musicals-in-schools/) through the Overture Center back in 2018.

Leopold’s first musical, Lion King Kids, was held in the school cafeteria. Aristocats Kids was performed in the gym. Since then, we have produced seven shows, with over 400 students participating in the cast and crew through the years.

Thank you to this year’s production team, Matt Wendt, Ailed Duran-Gonzalez, Ambar Colon, Aneesa Allen, Kristine Harms, Tylee La Dell, Alexxis McDade, Tejah Travis and Kyla Pilliod, for all the hours and effort put into Frozen Kids.

We are immensely grateful to Blackhawk Church, particularly Blackhawk Church Fitchburg, for partnering with Leopold and providing the space for our students to shine on stage. The stage at Blackhawk Fitchburg elevates the production in a way that we cannot do on our own. The entire Leopold school participates in a whole school field trip on the production days, and it has become a highlight for all Leopold students and staff each year.

Each year, we build our program from the ground up. The biggest expenses are licensing, school buses for the whole school field trip, and materials for set design, props and costumes. We would like to thank Blackhawk Church GHC and the Department of Revenue for supporting our program by providing the needed materials for this year’s production.

Producing a show is no small feat!
Funding for the arts, especially in Wisconsin, is often cut or not sustained long term at the elementary level. The DMIS grant helped get the program started, and now Leopold needs to develop a sustainable source of funding for various needs.

The director team is hoping to sustain Leopold’s musical program over the years to ensure that the opportunity is provided to all Timberwolves. We appreciate any tangible or monetary donations from the community. Please reach out to Production Director, Kyla Pilliod, if there are any questions or interest in supporting as a sponsor.

Producción Musical de Disney
La semana pasada, el reparto y el equipo técnico de Leopold participaron en la producción musical de Frozen Kids. Más de 80 alumnos/as de 4° y 5° grado participaron este año. La Escuela Primaria de Leopold postuló a la subvención para musicales de Disney en colegios a través del Overture Center en 2018. El primer musical de Leopold, Lion King Kids, fue presentado en la cafetería. Aristocats Kids fue presentado en el gimnasio. Desde entonces, hemos montado 7 espectáculos con más de 400 estudiantes participando en el reparto y el equipo técnico durante los años.

Muchas gracias al equipo de producción de este año, Matt Wendt, Ailed Duran-Gonzalez, Ambar Colon, Aneesa Allen, Kristine Harms, Tylee La Dell, Alexxis McDade, Tejah Travis y Kyla Pilliod por todas las horas y esfuerzo que invirtieron en Frozen Kids.

Estamos inmensamente agradecidos a la Iglesia Blackhawk de Fitchburg por ser nuestro socio y ofrecernos su espacio para que los alumnos puedan brillar en el escenario. El escenario de Blackhawk Fitchburg eleva la producción de una manera que no podemos hacer solos. Toda la escuela de Leopold participa en una excursión en los días de la obra de teatro, y se ha convertido en un evento cotizado para los estudiantes y el personal de Leopold todos los años.

Cada año, construimos el programa de cero. Los gastos más grandes son las licencias, los buses escolares para los paseos de curso y los materiales para el diseño del escenario, los accesorios y los disfraces. Queremos agradecer a la Iglesia Blackhawk, Group Health Cooperative (GHC, por sus siglas en inglés) y el Departamento de Hacienda por entregar los materiales para el espectáculo de este año.

¡Crear una presentación así no es fácil! Los fondos para las artes a menudo se recortan o no se mantienen a largo plazo para las escuelas primarias, especialmente en Wisconsin. La subvención DMIS ayudó a empezar el programa y ahora Leopold necesita desarrollar una fuente sostenible de fondos para distintas necesidades.
El equipo directivo espera sostener el programa musical de Leopold a través de los años para asegurarse de que la oportunidad se entrega a todos los Timberwolves. Agradecemos cualquier donación monetaria o en especie de la comunidad. Por favor acérquese a la Directora de Producción, Kyla Pilliod, si tiene preguntas o se interesa en apoyar como auspiciador/a.
