On Tuesday the 24th of
April we held our rehearsal for our variety show which will be taking place on
the 27th of April. After having a few incidents of acts cancelling on us last
minute we managed to find replacement acts in time and informed them all of the
rehearsal and said if there were any problems then to let us know! All acts said
they were able to come and the rehearsal ran smoothly.
To begin with we were unsure
of what to do because we arent used to being in charge but eventually we got the
hang of things and it ran pretty well. We made sure we did all the guest dance
acts first so that we could get the miks set up. Then we did our group acts and
made sure with spacing and positions.
By this point the mics were
set up and we ran through every guest singer or soloist and then ran through pur
solo.
I
did a duet with Shannon and this was the first time i'd got up on stage and sung
a solo infront of people so i was very nervous! Once i'd done it i was okay but
it was very scary!
We took notes on spacings of
guest acts, mics used and movement to make sure the lighting and sound was
correct for the act.
We also took note of whether
the act needed to have curtains open or shut, however we had organised the
running order so that it would wor with one act infront one behind one infront
one behind. This managed to work well.
At the end of the rehearsal we
told the actsq what time to be at school on friday for the performance and
throughout the rehearsal we made sure someone went round and made sure all the
costumes that acts were wearing were appropriate.
The rehearsal seemed to go
pretty quick and it was over within a flash. We felt that we had done enough,
however to improve i think we could have been slightly more organised and more
confident with the performers at the begining and with bossing people
about.
Overall the rehearsal went
well and think we all felt that we were prepared for friday.
