Cardiff & Rehearsals

Two Gang shows in two weeks LOL.
This week I went to see the Cardiff Gang Show, it was great fun. They used the theme of school and each item was based on a different lesson e.g. history, science etc.
The opening was called registration, the interval was lunchtime & their finale was hometime. The show was really good to watch and seemed to be over so quickly. I went with Lydia, Chris, Adrian, Ellen, Mike & Clare. Barbara from Bath Gang Show was there with her Guides as well. The cast were well enthusiastic & looked like they were enjoying themselves so the show seemed much more lively than last weeks one in Bristol. We did Pizza Hut afterwards.

Yesterdays Rehearsal was good we did the last songs that we hadn't learned yet from the opening & finale and started sorting out the dance to Thriller.
Had more fun with stroppy leader this week telling all the Guides how they were letting her down by not being quiet whilst she stuck her arm in the air and she didn't care wot the Scout Association did. (I thought we were one Gang). The producer puts it over a lot calmer than her and without being rude. This week she even told another leader off!!! for a moment it looked like the other leader woz going to slap her but she didn't.
We also got the words for two other items 1 is wot the producer called the Choir Item & the other is for a 60s scene.
As he gave them out at the same time & split into two I guess it is his way of saying if you are in the 60's item you can't sing very well LOL. Not saying wot group I am in. We didn't do the spooky scene so I don't know if the hopping leaders dance woz a one off or if we get a repeat performance. Still there is always next time.
More rehearsals tonite

Sketches & the Hopping Scout leader

We have started splitting up for rehearsals now.
First there were two rehearsals for sketches, then the Scooby Gang did their song & dance. In one sketch Scotty has to pretend to be another girls mum and dress as an old lady. This is a sketch that was written by Ralph Reader who was the man that started Gang Show.

The Scout who looks like Fidel Castro is doing a solo verse for one bit in the Juliet (which apparently is a balcony). That should be good.

After that all the over 13s did the Zombie dance.  One of the Scout leaders did a mad hopping dance at the bit where we shuffle round slowly LOL.

2nite is more split up rehearsals and then evry1 is back together again on Sunday

Bristol & Rehearsals

Had a really fun weekend.
On Saturday we went to watch the Bristol Gang Show.  We were sitting up in the grand circle together with practically all the cast of Bath Gang Show and some others from Bath.  It woz great fun.  Coz there weren't many other people in the Grand Circle we were able to sing/dance and really join in. It woz a good show but not as good as their show last year mainly coz their tab items didn't really work.  They also have a lot of adults singing solos. Oi Adults its our show we don't mind you being in it but please don't try to steal the limelight.  They only have Scouts in the show no guides apart from a few leaders and rangers.

On Sunday we had rehearsals. We were doing the 4 main items again & started to sing songs together as though they were in the item rather than as separate songs.  Supercalifragilistic is hard going enuff let alone when you have songs before & after it.

Yeah I managed to remember most of the steps to we go together and to bump in the night.
Our rehearsals in the week are going to be split up with different people going to rehearsals at different times, but all the over 13s will be there together for bump in the night so we can get together then.  Its quite good that we have the web site coz you can check on there to see what times you are needed in rehearsals.

There was a leader who acts like she is in charge, but someone said she is just a normal leader who was having a bit of a go yesterday, but she did say about smiling when we are singing which does make sense & having seen lots of shows I know it makes you enjoy watching the show a lot more.

Second rehearsal

Hi
Today was our second rehearsal.
It started off with all the under 13s doing their monster dance, well I say all the under 12s but it was all the under 12s plus Leigh, Anna & Jeff LOL.
We also did the dance for "we go together" this was the same one that we did at the assessment but I had forgotten most of it. It quickly came back though & I think I did allright. I don't have to do the complicated bit at the end. After the younger ones had gone home, we did the Zombie dance again & did some movement for the finale. We finished with a weird arm swinging dance by a certain group LOL See you all on Sunday folks

Rehearsals start

Hi there

Today was our first rehearsal LOL. We have been given words for 3 items already, the opening, the finale, & the end of the first half. Today was mostly singing but just before lunch we did some dances for the opening item of the second half. We were doing a Zombie dance to the song "Bump in the night" by all stars it woz brill. Dina, Amy & Lydia were at the front and were pretty good so I woz copying them.
All the leaders seem nice but there is 1 Leader who is well annoying and she is rude as well. If we spoke like that, the leaders would tell us off.
I am with a good group though so think I will enjoy myself. We are singing the last song from Grease (we go together) in the show. It's one of those songs that you think you know until you get to the shoop a loop adoop bits.
One of the Scouts has a beard that makes him look like Fidel Castro. If I get a chance to take a photo on my phone I'll post it here.
At the end they sing happy birthday to evry1 who has just had their birthday including 1 leader who was 40. Luckily no-one knows my birthday. hee hee hee. One song in the finale is well hard, but I should be OK after some practice.
