As our opening nights gets closer our rehearsals get longer and this past Sunday rehearsal was the longest one yet! Some of started off the day at 10am painting the beautiful sets. While the rest of us arrived at noon for a full run thru and choreo cleaning. At five we had a break to relax and enjoy some yummy pizza together. When it was time for us to do our sitzprobe we headed up to the music room to meet our fantastic band for the first time! After three and a half hours of singing with the band we were all pretty tired, but happy that we finally got to sing with them, and we all headed home at 9:30. A sitzprobe is a seated rehearsal where we all sit and sing with the band to pay attention to detail because singing with the real thing can be really different from sing with a recording or an awesome pianist. The reason it took three and a half hours is because we went through every single song at least two or three times and some of our songs are very long. Despite being a long night we brought all the energy we had and we definitely brought it. “It went exceptionally well. It’s always very exciting to have the band and the cast together for the first time. My favorite moment is the very first song that the band plays that the cast gets to hear and how excited everyone gets because it’s pretty fun.” -Mrs.Tye Ms.Tye was right because after singing the first time with the band it gave us all a bunch of energy and we all sang the loudest we have ever sang before it truly was magical. We are extremely grateful for the band because they’re all volunteering their time from their busy lives to help us with our musical. A lot of the members of the band are actual professionals and are lead by the best conductor ever Mr.Jackson who has also been our amazing vocals teacher for our musical, along with Justin Hiscox who has been helping with the music and playing the piano for us since day 1. After hearing our singing at its best put with the band's amazing playing we all know that ‘It’s Possible’ that we are going to be putting on the best production of Cinderella yet.
