here is another story
so if have been reading you know I'm in musical theatre. and I'm in love with it. well in the very beginning of the year we do an assignment called Large Group Musicals. and the seniors pick 4 songs from different musicals(last year, my first year the songs where
1)when you're an addams-from the musical the addams family
2)forget about the boy-from the musical throughy modren milly
3)dirt -from the musical sweet smell of success
4)freak flag -from the musical shrek
all great songs)
since this assignment was in the beginning of the year I didn't really know everyone. so this was a great way to get to know people.so after the seniors pick the songs, everyone else listen to the songs picks their favorite 1-3,1 one being their favorite. and based on that the teachers put you in groups. and for a good month and a half we spend trying to choreograph a dance and perfecting vocals. its a hell of a lot of fun. I got put into the group that did dirt. and I absoulty love the song. but the journy was crazy.
the point of doing large group musicals are to find out which song we are going to take to districts then to states, its a whole big shabang.
anyways... so in my group I had 10 people.
and the the leaders of the group were the 3 seniors. everyone in the group is super nice, and its all going great. we had practices at one of the leaders house a couple of times. and some of my closest friends. w where in that group! and its all going great. but the week before preformance the leaders decide to start changing up the whole dance. and during lunch we would go to the theatre and rehurse. and everytime we would have a new dance routine. now its come to the day we preform, and at lunch we have another rehursal, and the whole dance is compeltely different.and its come to the time when we preform it infront of the class. and the whole group at this point is so nervous and confused. so while to music is playing we are all singing and some people are forgetting their steps and some just stood their. me and my 2 friends and the seniors are the only ones still dancing and some how we finally make it to the end of the song. and we all knew it was horrible. (it was seriously horrible. I mean we laugh at it now but it was badddddddd!!!!!)
but it was a great experiance. at the end of our song we sit at the edge of the stage and they tell us what could have been better. and the teacher said "I understand u guys are the leaders(talking to the seniors) but you guys(talking to everyone that's not a senior in our group) have every right to speak up and put in your input. its your dance too!
the teacher took notice that the leaders didn't let us put in any word about the dance... and if you tried they would just say okay and not do anything about it. but it was a great lesson for me I feel!
anyways what I'm trying to say is, even though I felt kind of embarrased infront of the whole class I got the experiance that with my friends and I got to learn something out of it. so whenever ur in a sucky situation think of what you can take from it.
have a beautiful day:)
