This week's Rehearsals

This Sunday we spent a lot of time working on the fairground scene & the spooky scene with all the walk on & walk offs. It's well different doing the spooky scene to piano music instead of the CD. The adults have to do a funny waltz at one point whilst the rest sing the song.
We went right through the whole scenes a number of times. We also went through the opening. We don't know yet where we are going to be standing in the finale but I guess we'll come to that. Every so often in the dances either the producer or chorographer starts yelling instructions or words, only problem is if you listen to them, you lose the music & so miss your steps or can't hear the music so sing out of time so I think it makes things worse.

The stroppy leader has been very quiet recently. I think this is coz a few weeks back the Producer said that he didn't need any other adults to tell people to be quiet, he would do it. He said he wasn't directing his comments at any one person, but I think he had someone in mind.

Got to admit though it does get noisy at times.

Our last rehearsal before Christmas woz on Monday nite. It started off with the juniors doing their scene. We were going to do the finale but as there were a load of people missing we just sang it and we went through the opening instead. No words for these after Christmas EEK.

The dancers then did their arm swinging dance and then the evening finished with the Adults doing their scene. It should be well funny with them all dressed as ladies. Julian & Al have to do this bit where they skip round the stage LOL even better, at the end Robin & Hedge have to lie on the floor with their legs raised in a Sexy way LOL.

Hope you all have a good Chrimbo. I love it, we normally go to church on Christmas Eve which starts things off right then go home ready for Santa to come. If you are having a New Years eve party send me an invite & I'll see evry1 at rehearsals in January.

This week's Rehearsals

This Sunday's rehearsals were good fun again, we did a lot of work on the opening.
They have changed some of the bits that we are singing around which added to the confusion.
I noticed that there is a notice on the board about a trip to the Bath Gang Show next March I'll be going to see that.
We had 2 new leaders turn up this week, they looked a bit confused by us knowing the dances & moves that we do already but they have been in the show before so should be all right.

This week, the Scout who looks like Fidel Castro kept stealing peoples shoes.  Ellen reckons he has a foot fetish!!!!
We also started doing dances for one of the items in Fairground.

On Monday we did more work on the main items including Bump in the night. The hopping Scout leader was back again this week which woz funny. The dance group also did their skeleton dance including the mad whirly arm thing. Only thing is, if they have bones on the front of their costume they will disappear when they lift their arms up.  The adults then did one of their acts, this is one where they are all dressed as women!!!!!  The men all have to do a wiggle at one point & then jump into each others arms, it woz well funny.

At the end of today we had done 1/4 of our rehearsals  GULP

Tuesday we were split into groups so we only needed to pop in to do our act.  They rehearsed Pageant and Joys of Scouting.

Some of us have tried to find out wot things are in the whole show but they don't want to say. If you are reading this and are from another show let me know if your directors are secretive about things or whether they tell you all about it up front.
