On To New Things

The Hurrah Players' production of "Seussical the Musical" officially ended on Sunday. I can only say that I've had the second best time of my life working on "Seussical the Musical" with everyone in the Hurrah Players. (Or mostly everyone. lol) It was such a fun time and it really helped me deal with some of the other, tougher things going on. I could just put on that yellow dress, yellow labcoat, and goggles, and say "We're Whos here. We're all Whos here, smaller than the eye can see." It made me feel better about my height too. lol again.

I have an audition for Holidays in Virginia (one of Hurrah's Xmas shows) tonight at 9:15 PM. I get to stay at the studio for about an hour and a half after my tap class. Maybe I'll go grub somewhere in Norfolk? P:)

I'm excited that it's getting colder outside. Maybe we'll have a white Christmas for real this year. (:D

P.S. And since we have two weeks off for Christmas in December, I hope my family will go up to New Jersey to visit my aunts. They only live about AN HOUR AWAY from NYC. There are some shows that I really REALLY want to see. *hint hint*


Some of the most fun and caring people to work with. :)

Woes...and maybe nice things too

I meant to type a note last night, but felt like I would say silly things because I was pretty annoyed.

And I'm still a little annoyed. But not as much.

Okay. Here's a pros and cons list of Prescott (yes, he lets us call him by his last name only).
Pros
--he teaches each vocal part in class
--he can play piano well
--he has a thoe (I can't really think of another pro... :/ )

Cons
--he limits the "fun" (more than Nult did)
--he has a scary smile (scarier than Nult's)
--he does the little thing where he stops talking and just waits for the talking people to shut up
--he wants us to be hyper and peppy for every freaking rehearsal
--he insults the students and comes off looking and sounding like he really means it
--he's naive if he thinks that we don't need Saturday rehearsals

Not that he isn't a good director. And he has gotten things done. But it's just...too weird, too different. Gah...

nota bene: The first chorus show (with our freaky patriotic theme) will be October 21. Come to see the campiness. Come to see friends. But come especially because Prescott's charging us about $700 to go to New York in January, and we need the money to make the price go down. D:

On a better, more fun note, the Hurrah Players' production of "Seussical the Musical" opens on October 10. I am having so much more fun with them than I expected to have. I have made new friends and am gaining a bunch more experience with performing and rehearsing than I am with chorus. And I am taking a tap class with Hurrah and learning loads there too. (:D

I hope all of you are having good times, wherever you are.

Remember: October 10 through the end of the month on weekends - go see "Seussical"
Remember: October 21 - provide some moral (and monetary) support for PAHS Chorus

(sorry for the rant. lol)

P.S. I also forgot to mention that we have this chick choreographer who's been giving us "dance moves" for our "show choir." I know last Monday night was a complete waste of time, but at least we finished the first piece this Monday (with only 4 more dance rehearsals).

Hurrah Players Summer Camp: Day 1

So pretty much what I expected for the first day. We didn't do so much, just talking and introductions, games and ice breakers. That sort of thing. Oh, and there are a couple of idiots in the group too. I hope they cool down before long, or else something unfortunate may happen to them mysteriously.

All the classes were interesting, to say the least. There are some cliques among the older group, either because they go to school together or they're all Hurrah people. (By the way, I happen to be the oldest at the camp, me being 17 and a senior in high school. :/ )

My sister tagged along on this camp, so it's been a little hard to really break out and hang out with the people I want to hang out with. I am going to admit that it bugs me that she didn't care that my mom was putting her in this camp. Especially when public speaking isn't her strong point. I would have rather had her do something in school, not pay 100-some dollars to "experiment" over the summer. Agh...

But all in all, I think it'll be a bright two weeks. Unless Jordan is being an idiot again. Or the people won't shut up when we need to get stuff done. Sometimes it's hard being the oldest in a group like this.

I think I may very well join the Hurrah Players this fall. They are doing "Seussical...the Musical" for their fall production, which I would really like to do. I still am not sure if I want to be that involved with Chorus at school this year. It depends on how I like Mr. Prescott. :/

That's all for now. I may pop another blog tomorrow.

Musical Madlibs?

Why yes. I found this account on YouTube. Here's some samples:


It's Celia Keenan-Bolger!


I'm pretty sure you can guess where this song comes from.

So go check out this account.

The Wiz Vlog 2

I'm so sorry that it's been such a long time since the first vlog! I've been trying to upload it all last week, but it wouldn't load. When it finally did, YouTube said it was too long and it wasn't approved. So I had to delete some parts, which upset me, seeing that the video had only been 9 minutes and 39 seconds originally (normal YouTubers are allowed 10 mintues, so I don't know why this got rejected when a whole buttload of other stuff gets approved.)

Anyway, here's the vlog! Enjoy! ;)



And then there was also the Mego-ette, which was at the end of the vlog, but I decided to put it in it's own little thing too. ^^

Free-Dance Session=Much Fun & Giggling

Today's Thursday. We just had what was technically our last Thrusday rehearsal EVER. Crazy... It'll be kinda weird not having those anymore. 'Cause Meaghan won't do them. But I suppose that's a good thing for now. I've got a butt-load of homework and it's not gonna give way until at least after Christmas break. Woot.

So about the dance we did today. It was again with the multiple personas. Except today's dance was more happy than angsty-angsty-ness. EMOTE! Lots of graceful jumpiness and head-banging. Oh, jelly necks! Fun stuff with chairs, benches, and colored cubes that were in the orchestra pit. I happened to have a piano bench, and it got pretty crazy. Also, lots of contractions. Wouldn't that be an awesome dance for the Encore show? Spice things up a little (in a sense)...

Must do Latin now. I dislike grammar very much.

Urgh...

While I should really be studying for my Biology test for second block, I really don't feel like it. I know that I'll care later only because the grade won't be so good. Then again, if Faison was a better teacher, then maybe I wouldn't have to try so hard to learn what the heck she's talking about. Like work, but not right now.

HOMEWORK IS THE ENEMY. (I'm not kidding. At least, right now.)

And then I have stupid CCD later. I don't see the point of my going, but it seems as though my parents will disown me if I don't get confirmed. WTF? Seriously, I think I can go about my life without having to go through this crap every Tuesday for an hour. And it might just be an hour, but it sure seems like an eternity to me. >:(

There are so many things that I want to be doing.
1. Finish knitting the scarf I started during the summer.
2. Start making my little toys for the arts and crafts show so that I may get some money.
3. Work on that idiotic story that I work on so sporadically.
4. Work harder at piano.
5. Dancing (The Wiz or anything).
6. Singing (jazz and Broadway things, not campy chorus-ness).
7. Finding a good book and curling up in a chair to read it.
8. Sleeping.
9. Stretching (I would like to be flexible again).
10. Working on the vlog so as not to have it be boring. (coughmegocough)

GAH! >.<
