Filiming Part One!

We did some great work Saturday. The day started at 10:00 AM at the CCRB. Well, it was supposed to, but most of us showed up late haha. We started at around 11:00 and had to move quickly because everyone else was waiting at the Union.

It was a freezing cold day, but we toughed it  out on Palmer Field. The girls' Ultimate Frisbee team was practicing, but thankfully they didn't crash into us. We had our low-budget homemade football jerseys and helmets, and they were cool!

We finally got to the Union around 12:30. After eating, we filmed Inception separately in Mason and the UAC office. Still more of Inception to do, and of course, Star Wars. Stay tuned and have a happy spring break!

Michigan Pops Orchestra Screen Actors Guild

As you may know, the Michigan Pops Orchestra has its very own Screen Actors Guild!!  The movies we show at our concerts to accompany our music are produced with care, enthusiasm, time, and a whole lot of Pops Love.  With our AWESOME debut of the music from the motion picture Inception, we have some crazy, exciting, AMAZING plans for our next Screen Actors Guild production that will accompany Inception's music.  This movie and music combination is about to blow your mind away!  Though I know you can't wait for our upcoming concert (Sunday, March 25, 7 pm, Michigan Theater, be there) to see the movies (yes, that's right, there will be more than one action-packed flick), here are a couple movies from previous concerts that the Pops Screen Actors Guild produced, so you can catch a glimpse of the awesomeness that is about to ensue.  Enjoy!!!!
