Production Summary

Production is done, and I am surprised to say that we did really well. Even though I spent most of my time on backstage, I enjoyed watching from the side. The only trouble was I had to play guitar at the beginning, and change into my costume for the first dance. I was on mic transfer and I have to say we did really well (Ethan and Astin), Astin was on mic stands and Ethan and I was on headset mics. But I have to admit Ethan did most of the transfers. My highlights was probably setting up because even though it was stressing, it was still fun. I don't think there could be any more improvements, the Productions that I have done have been pretty high quality and I think they should just keep what they're doing. My performances on the first night was a bit below average due to timidity and fear of messing up. But on the second night I improved really noticeably.

Production is 2 Days Away . . .

First of all I think that we are not ready for Production that is only 2 days away. We still have a lot to finish, whether it is a costume or a dance. The productions I have done in the last years have been really easy as the dances were simple but really effective and the costumes were also simple and easy to create and even if they were quite plain it gave the dance way more potential to do intricate moves. But the intermediate dances have been made so complex that instead of being astounding and cunning it just falls apart. Personally I think that the dances for the year 7 and 8's would've been good but they still need more time to practice. And the key to big group dances is to be in time together.

The scenes are getting there but still still have mistakes in them. For example the Cantina Scene has a problem with knowing where to stop chattering for the actual scene to start. But with cooperation it might come together.
