Today was show day! We were all really excited about doing it but also sad that it was the last time we were going to do be doing it. We came into college about 9:30am, practising all the way through the morning, perfecting everything, before we went off to Horsham. We did a full run through, with no stops and then rehearsed the bits we needed to go over. After that we took down the staging and stacked it all into Kim and Sam's car, as we were all getting the train up to Horsham. When we arrived we were showed to our dressing room and got told how the day is going to go. First of all the other group had a tech full run through and then we had one shortly after we arrived and then set up our stage. We then got told about all of the health and regulations. No running back stage, no chewing gum, no talking when your in the wings, etc. The tech run went really well. We had to stop a few times as it was a tech run. We had to stop on the jumps and that, because she wanted to see how safe they were. We found we were first on, which would make sense as we had staging blocks that had to be attached together. After that we then got into our costumes and started to get ready. We had an hour and a half before we were on and had a warm up. We did a basic vocal warm up and movement warm up. After that I made sure all of my props were in place backstage on our side of the table(as there was the other college performing the play too). Act 1 went really smoothly and there were no mistakes, which was really good. Everyone remembered there lines too. Act 2 didn't go to bad! Thankgod we didn't drop Ben or Danielle with any of the lifts! All of the lifts and that went well, apart from Danielle kneed me in the head by accident, but that could of been my fault as I may not have tucked my head in far enough for the leap frog. Unfortunately Grace remembered forgot a few of her lines, but Emily went to fill in and as she filled him Grace started to say it too. So they ended up saying it at the same time. But it worked really well and was quite funny! Act 3 went amazing too. Everyone remembered the routine and there were no hiccups. Ben didn't trip over and I didn't bump Emily so there was so accidents!
The other group was really good as well, and we were lucky enough to sit in the audience watch their's. It was really funny and I really enjoyed it. Plus they were able to watch ours too. They gave us really good feedback, and so did we to them.
Overall I was so happy with the performance as I remembered all of my lines and cues and the whole of Act 3. I felt like my timing went well and my dancing. The one thing I could of improved on was maybe tucking in my head more for the leap frog bit, so I wouldn't of got kneed in the head and at one point I dropped my sunglasses in Act 1 and didn't pick them up. I should of done really.(but in the end I did) I also really enjoyed and it was our last performance of the show! We got of stage and cheered and praised each other as we all did so well and thought it was the best one yet.
