Parade week 2

Ok so this has been a long week of waiting to go to rehearsal since I only had one day which was thursday. On top of the waiting I was sick as a dog for most of the week and even sick during rehearsal. I really downed a bottle of medicine and held on for dear life. I don't know but I am going to assume that everybody elses time this week was well spent learning music and such. The only people I know that are a little upset might be the wednesday people because rehearsal was cancelled due to the horrible weather that consumes us all. All in all on thursday I think I could have done alot better and I think that after we just grind in the music that our nice little black trio will be awesome. I really need to learn my music just so I can be on point. Also I need to work on making crisp sounds as far as speaking so people can understand what I am saying. I can't wait until we start blocking!!!

Here's a little quote of the week:

I can relate to how they're enamored of the world of live theater. It's fun to make a play. Each cast becomes a family. Rehearsals give that wonderful feeling of being a lug nut in a well-oiled machine. When you're cast in a play, you belong somewhere, you have a place to be, lines to say, and a personality to project. A drab secretary from the courthouse becomes a singing nun; a coal miner becomes a handsome sea captain. All it takes is a book and music by Rodgers & Hammerstein. Who doesn't love the applause? No one ever gave me a standing ovation at the Pharmacy, or Nellie at the bank, or Greg in his cubicle at the accounting firm. We'll get it tonight, though, and we'll revel in it. If there's one thing in this world that folks need, it's to feel that they've done a good job. How rare that reinforcement is! Most of the work in this world is thankless; parenting, the drudgery of our daily jobs--we contribute so much that no one sees or acknowledges. But in the theater, when it's good, that gratitude is there, audience to actor. They let us know they like what we do with applause and whistles and standing ovations. You can't beat it.

enjoy!!
