The last chaotic week of September & Show Day

So continuing on with the show preparations, things got tough. People stopping and starting and changing their minds on what backing track they want to use, Saying that I should of had all tracks completed ages ago and more. I'm wondering if those in the company who have said these things know's more about how many hands and brains I have than me??? Someone in the group wanted to change their backing track 5 days before the show. Everyone knew I had Uni work on, Committee work (for the company) on, and not enough time to change things around again. On the day before the show, two people in the company started arguing with our director and our director walked out really annoyed. It was over the fact that we (as a company) weren't smiling or flowing with the music. But as any amateur or professional knows when you perform in a shopping centre you aren't always going to have an audience placed in front of you. There are going to be times where people will walk straight past you and not care. I think we were merely preparing everyone for a public reaction.


I know that I wasn't doing anything wrong. I was even late home and got in trouble with my mum because I was supposed to be home at 8:30pm for our Bad Taste Party for Macmillan Cancer Charity.

At times in this group I feel prejudiced.......


Anyway to the day of the show. It was ok, with a few technical hitches, and some songs went a bit wrong. But everyone pulled off a great performance. A new light was seen in some of the company members who at first appeared shy (when they first came into the company), and have now blossomed.

And we all said "That's Showbiz Kid". (not really but I had to put a happy ending on...)
