Hey.. :) I'm back.. Just a quick update on the musical.. It's been like what? Almost a week since our last update? Haha.. Last Saturday, was our dance rehearsal, and it was really good! I mean, our dance numbers are still rough, but it's getting there! One HUGE dance number is titled "Shipoopie", and the dance steps in on of the sequence is torture! Seriously, the "grapevine" is so hard because the song's tempo is SOO fast. :P But I did master the "Charleston".. It think that's what it's called.. :) I'm very proud.. Bri and I just need to master the freaking "GRAPEVINE"!!! D;
Monday was also another long rehearsal from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. It was our Lead's rehearsal, and I realized that I need to get my lines MEMORIZED! Seriously, we have less that three weeks left!! WOW! Where did all that time go?! And I need to have everything exact, and DOWN!..
I'm happy, because I have about everything memorized.. And I need to watch my speed in speaking my lines.. I have to watch that because the audience will not be able to understand me if I speed up too much. I had a line today where I was supposed to say "uniform", but my friend heard it come out as "unicorn".. "Greg!!! The Unicorns have arrived!!!".. Gahaha..
But so far, everything is going well, it should be more "exact", because we're on a deadline, but we're getting there! I know our director is SOO on our butts because he wants it perfect! Our school is known to be in the BEST league of drama productions, and I really want this year to be a picture frame for that. We're going to have to work our BUTTS off until they burn!
I'm just excited, nervous, and pressured. These next three weeks are going to be torture because our rehearsal schedule is going to be longer, and we're going to have to stay at school from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Ugh.. It's worth it!!! (That's what I always tell myself!)
Well, I think I'm going to bed tonight.. Thank goodness for no homework for today.. I get to rest for a bit.. before everything starts again.. ^-^ Nighty night everybody!!!
