With no soul in music, there is only sound.

…WOW… Just came back from performing our ensemble. Few mixed feelings… firstly releif to know its over… and to know i can get my lunchtimes back :)… impressed that everyone did such an amazing job (other group included) and also a sore throat

Have to say I suffer from a terrible illness where after I perform i tend to come down from the adrenalin rush and start doubting my performance personally… I am very critical of myself and I try not to be but i can’t help it - just doing what comes naturally.

But you know what - we rehearsed and went over things and didn’t give up when things didn’t work and overall it paid off. I know our group can’t collaborate for s………….ugar…….. :S… but we pulled our fingers out in the end and worked together well when rehearsing. It also helped to have someone take charge - not to bos us around or have the rest of the group slacking off, but so we could get thigns done with less umming and arring.

Our sashs we had ended up being around our waist, basically because we had no time to fit them in anywhere, and also it was difficult to use them effectively without looking messy. I think our Gods, spirits, music whatevers shone a tad brighter, which was helped with hair and make-up. The puffs did alrite, that line the blue one forgot though… lucky pinky #3 came through or else chaos would have arisen for sure.

Now there was an executive decision made where in the actual performance cheese (A.K.A. Alex) decided to cut half a scene, which was totally cool. It really tied up our performance nicely and I’m so glad he DELIBERATELY DID IT AND IT WAS NOT FORGOTTEN…..

Pretty much gotta be happy with what we did… well theres no changing it now! What I’m happy about most is that we kept fairly good focus, we didn’t forget lines or stuff up transitions and everyone had a lot of fun and that’s all anyone can ask for.

Peace out, Ash xoxo

P.S. If anyone wants my autograph it’ll be on Ebay in 10 years time when I’m rich and famous living the life in Hollywood :)

Wow. Pretty sure I’m the only one in my drama class blogging anymore With the final week leading up to our performance night we have edited, tweaked, polished and a whole other improving words to our performance. We came away from Trafalga knowing what we had to fix and we’ve done that and so much more. I am even proud to say that i know my lines! I know proud acheivment.

Last night i made sashs for everyone in our group with symbolic colours to help represent our Spirits better - red for Folk, White for Pop, dark blue for Rock and light blue for Roll. I’m also going to come up with some symbols to paint on our faces which will hopefully make our spirits of music that much better.

Well, taking a break from drama as of the end of this sentence… I’m all dramad out for this week, I need to reguvinate ready for Tuesday - our big night (Couldn’t have come any sooner)

Peace out, Ash xoxo
