Today was the first matinee performance of the musical. It went pretty well from where I was watching (from the wings, only every once in a while.) DA thought he messed up a song, but it sounded okay to me, although I missed the beggining and he did try to come in early after the tap solo....
Anyway, right before intermission there's this big dance that ends with confetti everywhere. I helped clean it up during the short five minute intrmission, but it got everywhere, so I was sweeping in the hall for a while after during act 2. So, ya, I'm not just Knight 3. I actually feel that Knight 3 is the smallest role I play in the musical. Aside from my actual part, I open / close curtains, I push / pull the bed around, I clean up the stage / hall / wings / moat, I help collect used props from the stage, I lift OC with the help of some other guys a few times, I serve as a bridge between the band and the cast in that angry cast members don't blame the band too much and vice versa because I'm in the way humouring them and mildly defending the other party, I try to keep everyone quiet and focused on the task at hand, and I help the director with anything else she needs help with. Lol... I make the bed everyday...
So, ya. There's an evil queen in the play by the end of the play the audience (like 5th-8th graders..?) were booing her. xP When the prince told her to shut up there was like two minutes of positive reaction to that that we had to just stand there waiting for the audience to quiet down before continuing... Anyways, that just means she's doing a good job if the audience hates the evil queen, right..?
Oh, so a bunch of people from church are coming to see the musical, so AL was asked to buy 16 tickets. Most of the money is from the people buying tickets, but 70$ were hers and 16$ were mine and 4$ were my music teacher's. lol. I had to borrow 4$ becuase I was asked to tell AL to buy two more tickets at 1:30 last night over MSN and we didn't have enough money in our wallets to pay the 30$ for the two extra tickets...
For the matinee the cast was released from their classes at 10, but since I had a spare period 2 (9:30) I ate lunch immediately at 9:30 and then at 10 I got makeup and costume before everyone else. So, when AL got there I was in full costume / makeup and she was in her regular clothes, so I offered to buy the tickets. After waiting a while for the real lunch period to begin (there were also no bells today so that they wouldn't disturb the musical) the ticket sellers were nowhere to be found so I had to go to the science office to buy them. The teacher in charge wasn't there at the moment so another 4-5 science teachers tried figuring out how to sell me tickets.
I also played tennis for a bit. Yuss. It was so sunny and my brother never does anything... but we did play for a little while and it was pretty fun. =D
So, ya. Today was pretty cool. I made my cast notes, if only without the paragraph of writing, but this is the first time my cast notes look like I put effort into them, and I actually did, maybe 80 minutes worth..?
I have to sleep...
