Now that the whole show is blocked, rehearsals have been more of a polishing process versus what we’ve done previously, which has given us the opportunity to really get down to the details of the scenes in the show. Every rehearsal is always better than the last, and we are all watching ourselves improve day by day. Everybody is doing their fair share of practicing on their own, and with the help of others to achieve their ultimate best. With the help of the director, Ms Tye, many of the leads (and chorus members!) have been doing everything in their power to really develop their character, and make them complex and three-dimensional. As well as this process, everybody is doing their fair share of work behind the scenes to improve the set and props, including painting and tracking props. Rehearsals have given us all time to really get into the musical, and become more enthusiastic about what is going to be our final product. Despite all of the amazing progress that is unfolding, there are a few barriers we are trying to break through. One thing we are all currently focusing on is dancing while still being able to project our voices. For us to achieve the goal of putting on a splendid musical, we have to put into consideration how loud we are, and if it is going to work how we would like it to. “The individual talents are merging to create an incredible show,” says Alivia Buchan, chorus member and Understudy for Gabrielle, Projecting and singing is skill we all need to continue working on. Adding the elements of dancing and acting while singing can make it much more difficult to focus and maintain volume, but our awesome stage managers and teachers are helping us improve.” We also are doing our best to be loud and proud while acting, as our music class daily mantra is “Always Louder!” from Mr. Jackson. We hope that everything goes according to plan, and are all very enthused about continuing to rehearse and improve our skills. At this point, we are all antsy about getting to perform and hope to put on an amazing performance.
