SPINS Performance

On Tuesday (my birthday) we had a performance rehearsal at the secondary school. Grace, Mea and I all went there together after we did the book battle challenge for intermediate schools around the area.

We were the opening act to we had to go first. This was more of a lighting and sound rehearsal so that they could work out how the lights were and to get our music and have it at the right volume. We had simple lights and music but it wasn't cut properly.

Sophie our dance teacher wasn't there for this rehearsal as she couldn't make it and she had the music that was cut to our dance. We just had to use the version that was online and had to pause at some points to wait for it to catch up.

After we did our dance once and practiced coming on from the wings, Leigh who was organising everything said that us three can go now because we had already done our part. We wanted to watch the others but decided to go now.

On the Wednesday we had to be at the Secondary school at 3:00 so we left school a little earlier. We went and got changed into our costumes and went into the auditorium were everything was being set up.

We did our part and then we watched most of the others performances.  We then put $5.00 each towards pizza, chips and drinks. Once the Stage Challenge group had finished performing we got to eat our dinner.

We then just waited for the last groups of people perform their parts. We all did our makeup and people started to arrive as 6:30 was almost here. We had a briefing upstairs because the schedule had changed for some people. 

We then went downstairs to the green room which was backstage. We then walked around the stage to the other side and into our starting positions. Once we had performed we walked back around and upstairs.

The other acts did their parts as we waiting a couple of hours until it was the finale. Mea went to half of her ballet class and grace and I were just upstairs not doing much. Near the end of the show we started to practice some moves.

We did some handstands and walkovers and then decided that we would practice the finale in the dance room with the music because a group of people decided that they wanted to join in so we taught them and practiced.

We then did the finale dance on the stage and after we did it and bowed most people went back on stage and kept dancing and the audience seemed to really enjoy it. We then grabbed all of our things and went home to bed.
