Week Before the Show

Week Before the Show

Alongside our singing teacher is has been decided that I will not be performing my solo as I have been ill for a few weeks and have not yet fully recovered, also didn’t have enough time to practise as I had been doing the children’s theatre tour. However, I have not completely lost the as I will be performing in front of a camera instead, so, I will still have to rehearse once I get better from illness.

Also, I still have Chicago’s Cell Block Tango to perform which is a lot easier because I don’t have to sing the whole song by myself. However, we did not have an extra person to take the place of someone who had dropped out previously. So, we asked another peer in the second year to help us out with it. It was an easy fix as she learnt the lyrics quickly and fits in nicely with the group as a whole.

We had to get the counts right, so, we spent most of our time rehearsing the counts, for example how long we have to wait until we come in with our singing as we didn’t have a spokesperson for the start. A group member wrote down the counts as we went through it together. We also made sure each cannon and unison was in the right place and that everyone was saying the right thing at the right time.

We performed it to our singing teacher a couple of days before the show and she agreed to keep it in but she said it still needed work. We needed to work on the timing mostly and the movement because we seemed quite stiff on the stage and it wasn’t great to watch so we went away and worked on it.
