HISTORY OF DRAMA WAS A GREAT HIT!!! No, actually i don't know that. But i know that we all did our best and that it was our best performance ever...out of all the times we rehearsed and i'm really proud of everyone....i really am....
On thursday, we left school at 11.15. We as in....Marie, belle, vanessa, YN, claudia, shantaine, eunice, ali, carissa, tharshini, me and miss tan. We had to carry alot of props down. Chairs..drums...that kind of things. Then we went there. We had 50minutes to rehearse, try out the light and stuff. We were only allowed to use a certain lights and these lights faded out very slowly, which was a problem, because we had scenes where the light needed to flicker. So we were worried.
Friday, was the big day, we had made some changes so that we could accomadate the new lighting. We left school at 8.10. That day we had to wear green to school to show our support for live earth. Most of us wore our green PE shirt. I was very nevous and when we got there and saw the other groups, we were so intimidated since they seemed so confident and some of them were from the drama club, whereas none of us were. I had to have a moustache drawn on me, as so did carissa and belle, cos we were "guys". I looked MANLY! I was very worried about the chess scene since we had recently edited it and we didnt have much time to practice it. But carissa was quite confident. Before the auditions, we ran through once.
Finally, a lady came up to us to let us know it was our turn. Everone was sort of frantci and we were like: where's the drum stick?? where's the drum stick and ran up and down.
We had prayed of course, on the bus on the way there. So i kept telling myself that we would do fine. When we went in and saw a camera we were like....there's a camera? there were 3 judges. So we began the show and though we had no sound effects at times since the cable wasnt connected...it still was ok. I didnt forget my lines. and the chess scene was FINE, despite the fact that carissa almost dropped the piece. And although vanessa forgot some lines it was OKAY! I was so happy. all those rehearsals almost everyday have finally paid off!!!
Results are out this wed....
me with paper bag on head.
