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.

Cabernet Performance Evaluation
See performance on the kings Langley school performing arts blog!
When watching the performance back I think we all did extremely well! Not just talent in dancing wise but we all stayed in character and kept to formations that we'd arranged after researching the show. We'd all agreed that we needed to smile so that we could show that 'show girl' element of the performance! It is clear on the video that we all execute this well! After watching the final performance and the rehearsal there are certain elements of the show we could improve on one being shapes however this was slightly out thrown due to one of the girls being ill in hospital, this can be easily corrected when we perform this price again in our end of year show! The other thing we could improve on would be confidence when using props! I think it is clear that some of us on tape but we knew in ourselves that dancing on the chairs was a challenge! For me this was due ti the overall height of the stage and then the chairs! But that's a personal fear of my own!
One thing that I think we all found difficult to begin with was the sassy sexy feel to the performance, we were fine in rehearsals and were slightly apprehensive when doing the rehearsal in front of the rest of the show members! But we all got into that 'musical theatre' performance mind and I think everyone stayed in complete character even if things went slightly pear shaped in choreography and mistakes!
One other thing I think we pulled off well was the whole look of the performance our outfits were simply leotards hot pants fish nets and jazz shoes all of which we had! We made sure the look of the dance fitted the theme and so did our hair and make up and this helped u's all get into character and feel the performance.
Overall I think there were some slight glitches but it was very well perceived by the audience we performed to and this gives an impression of how well we did! We will be performing this again at our end of year show! With singing as well possibly!
