31 Oct '06

hey guys. i was jsut talking to bob there, and on the dl, drama have been approved to buy a new set of radio mic's coming in at a neat € 5000 ish. that takes loads of pressure off our budjets for our big shows, like for instance is should save us about €300 quid on the panto straight away, jay will order and asemble the mics for us. But we need to get our hands on the spc credit cardo. bob said it shouldnt be a problemo. well done al & joey. john -- John Cannon Science & Health Convenor DCU DRAMA Secretary 55609739 Pha1 086-2120067

[Drama-Committee] Committee Dinner
by Lyndsey Fay 29 Oct '06

29 Oct '06

Hey everyone. Dinner is booked for tomorrow night - 9' o clock, TGI's Stephens Green (just at the top of Grafton St). It's booked for 14 people - all of the committee plus the lovers of John, Alan and Susan...... They said they'll hold the table for a max of 15 minutes so I suggest we be on time... Maybe those of us leaving from campus could all head in together about 8:15ish and aim to meet everyone else outside for 8:55? (I know Suz and Joey may be delayed with work but that's cool. Once the majority of us are there....) Anyhow, that's about it. See you all tomorrow!! (Mmmmmm......) Lyndsey x

Set Design Meeting There will be a meeting in the Seminar Room (beside the SU reception) on Thursday 6pm to discuss the set design for the Pantomime this year.

Film music "Six Semesters" has finally been cast and the cast-list can be found at www.dcudrama.ie Meanwhile, the makers are interested in collecting and producing a soundtrack for the film. This is where you come in!!! We're looking for those of you who have written songs of your own and are interested in possibly having them on the film soundtrack. They are looking for a recording of your songs whether on CD, mp3 or pretty much anything can be transferred to laptop. The band/artists do not need to be students of DCU so therefore spread the word. Those of you who are interested in having your music on to the soundtrack be in CG06 between 2 and 4 on Wednesday 1st and 6 - 8 on Thursday 2nd. The music submitted can be of any genre and every entry will be treated in the same way as the next. For those of you who have songs but do not have it recorded, they're prepared to record it for you. Just e-mail sixsemestersmusic(a)gmail.com with the number of songs you'd like to record (max. 3) and the number of instruments involved and they'll get back to you with a time. Recordings shall take place in the radio studio in Henry Grattan between 5.30 and 10.30 on Thursday 9th of November. Unfortunately, for logistical reasons, these songs can only be acoustic performances with no drums. The director and producers ask that people know their songs and know them well as it will be a very tight schedule. It can be an instrumental but there must be some type of structure to it and not a bunch of random riffs. And also they're just looking for an idea of the quality of your song so don't worry about little mistakes, if they do decide to use your song, they'll spend a longer time on a proper recording. As this is a low-budget production, they won't be paying the artists/bands for their music. Having said that, this is a great opportunity for artists/bands to showcase there music as this project has the potential to go far. Any questions or queries just drop an e-mail to sixsemestersmusic(a)gmail.com Socs Ball Tickets Drama will be selling 15 Socs Ball Tickets on Tuesday at 6pm in Clubs and Socs Office. They're €49 each and it is strictly ONE PER MEMBER. The Clubs and Socs Ball is a formal ball and is always great fun, so make sure you get yourself a ticket! Contact Us Thanks to the six people who read this e-mail to the end... you're amazing and good things will happen to you... Any questions or queries with drama, contact committee(a)dcudrama.ie Any questions on the film "Six Semesters", contact sixsemesters(a)gmail.com Any questions on the soundtrack for "Six Semesters", contact sixsemestersmusic(a)gmail.com Any photos of Drama events that you took and want to see on the website, e-mail dramaphotos(a)gmail.com Thank you, you've been a beautiful audience...
