Fame: The Musical

29 07 2007

The main purpose for this post is to talk about the rehearsal for fame but first i will mention x country from yesterday. Yesterday was the second last round of APS cross country which was hosted by Haileybury at Edrington. The head of cross country had put in a load of effort with a digital clock at the start/finish, 2 hay bayles as obstacles, and even had vests for all the officials. One detail he did have though which made the whole team laugh was he has written H2XC on the hill (dont ask about the origin of that its quite sad). Overall we beat caulfield and MGS and if we beat St Kevins next week we will win the premiership. The girls are also in a position to take their premiership.

Today was a rehearsal for fame in which we got alot of work done. We managed to hang the blacks which will need to be fixed with the cougar because some are hung at angles and just cant be fixed from the roof. More of the walls went up on the set. All the remaining lights from Inheritance were lowered. The 2Ks got a well deserved clean and 22/40s were hung on the side perches which was a major task. Lukes rather genious idea for the ladder worked quite well but Belly insisted that we use the harness. After a decent days work i now have some rather severe rope burn from lowering so many lights and hanging blacks. Thursday looks to be a good day because it is our major bump in which means we get all our hired lights which will be my first experience with movers so that should be good fun.

We also found why James failed his P’s the first time, indicate then turn! and yes we can flash our brake lights too. Luke on the other hand is a much safer driver.

It looks to be a short but intense time until opening night but will be worth it in the end. Only 17 days left until opening night.

Bye for now   – JD
