Beauty and the Beast: The preparation.
Saturday, July 15, 2006
changed my blog skin...haha. i quite like this one...yesterday, CO finally started to prepare for the Beauty and Beast (aka B&B) musical for next wed. pretty early huh?
so, we started off with the costumes. it was a living nightmare. we have ppl not returning their costumes, resulting in the lack of costumes and sizes, and we have to make some big size ppl wear small size. they were not very happy about it, but we managed to assure them that a mutual swop will be made on next mon.
well, yz (who's in charge of the costumes) didn want jor to help her, n there was a bit of misunderstanding, but it was solved thereafter.
anyway, i helped yz settle the costume, till i lost my temper. bloody hell, they keep changing their decisions. at first they said only those who are confirmed and pending will go for the rehearsal on monday, and so we gave out the costumes we had to those who are confirmed first, then pending. later they changed their minds, and said that everyone who practised the 3 songs were to go, and they'd kick out ppl there. the no. totalled to about 80, or more. but we are short of costumes!!! guess what they said? they said we bring all the costumes there on mon, and only give out on the bus! what an intelligent answer. firstly we will have chaos in the buses if we were to give out only then, secondly we already gave out the costumes n the ppl had left. moreover, we don't have enough costumes!!!
so i was like, cursing all the way with yz (even she cursed) and tried our best to settle the so-called dispute. finally, we decided to make all those who haven returned their costume to do so by mon morning and exchange those with the smaller sizes for those who cannot wear them, and give the remaining out to those who do not have. that's the best way out.
and speaking of next monday's rehearsal, it really...we neglected that we cannot report at sch at 5pm, cos we are leaving at 5 pm sharp. so we do not have much of a choice, we will report at 4 (due to the o lvl chi listening com) and bring all the instruments down. after having lunch at 4.30, we will leave sch. the rehearsal will be from 5 to 10. i will be very happy if i can leave sch by midnight.
we can arrive at sch at 9 the next day, but...nothing to say about that.
originally, there's a prac in the morn, but my instructor cancelled it. he claimed that we are ready, but i think otherwise. the songs aren't nice, and not well played. esp "color of the wind". its the nicest song, in d major. there's one part where suo na is the main and only melody, and he (hz's playing alone, ey playing di guan) and he faced some prob hitting the high notes..he really cannot afford to screw up, cos he will screw the whole orchestra up. worried for him...
and some of the other instruments stil facing yin zun prob...i guess we really need to have a miracle to tide through next week.
haha...enuff said. going to do work. i have SS, chi and lit to do today. tmr i will try to do hist source-based and a maths, then study bio. i guess i won have time to study phy. next week will be a v busy week...
so want to thank the guys in the back row we help me out this week...i guess i made them stressed also. haha. sry abt that!! u guys rock.
