FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE! What a great evening!

The RJC students put on a great show for over 150 guests who came to check out the school! The entertainment was top-notch, hosted by the always amusing dynamic duo of Travis and Eric.  Well done!

Friday Night Live had a beach party theme - which was good because it was -30C outside!

Current RJC students demonstrate the proper use of the photo-booth, a popular item during the evening.

"The Delicate Timmies" opened the show with a cover of "Get Over It!" Brandon (drums) Travis (guitar) & Nick (bass) take it to the crowd.

Generation Next students (future RJC'ers) take their turn in the photo-booth.

Nick is part of "The Delicate Timmies"

Kenna performed "Hey Yeah"

Lyndsey wowed the audience with a very entertaining cup song from the movie "Perfect Pitch"

Eric & Travis were the MCs. You know you will be immensely amused.

Kathleen (guitar) and Crystal (piano) gave us a beautiful performance of "Taking Chances"

Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" on ukelele - presented by Sarah and Gabby.

Kathleen paired up with Alyssa to perform "Titanium"

Benjamin (vocals), Brandon (drums), Landon (bass), and Cody (guitar-not pictured) are "The Town Boyz." They performed an original tune "Life and Death"

Ryan played an original composition "The Letter" on the piano, and also did a solo rendition of "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" from Les Misérables.

Cody is a guitar monster!

Paradise, Jaye, and Meghan sang "Blood Brothers" with great harmonies.

It was all Cody to close the show with "Bring It On Home!" (with Brandon backing him up on drums)

RJC On Stage - Sneak Preview!

The Theatre Arts and Musical Theatre classes gave a sneak preview in chapel in preparation for their show on Sunday and Monday.  Theatre Arts is presenting Alfred Hitchcock's "The 39 Steps" - a live radio play murder-mystery.  Musical Theatre is presenting excerpts from John-Michael Tebelak's "Godspell" (music by Stephen Schwartz.)

"The 39 Steps"

Kelsey is the murder victim.

Brandon and Joe play bumbling cops.

Morgan begins the play as John the Baptist, and later transitions to Judas.

Ryan plays the role of Jesus.

Jesus paints his disciples' faces to symbolically claim them into his "tribe."

Godspell is a collection of stories and parables from the Gospel according to St. Matthew. Here Sarah and Alyssa act out one such parable.

Benjamin holds nothing back.

"Come sing about LOVE!"
There are still tickets available, though Sunday is filling up fast! Call soon! Show time is 7:30 on both days. Tickets are $10 each. 306.232.4222
