Workend

Workday - 10:00am-5:00pm

No, that's not a typo. I had to work on a Saturday. I actually was supposed to get in for 9am, but I forgot to do something important (which I ended up finishing before I left this morning).

The musical rehearsals are coming along well. I'm starting to settle into my role as stage manager (though there isn't much to manage. Everyone knows their stuff). I really spent most of the morning's run-through cueing up sound effects (this was the project I forgot to finish).

I'm very impressed with the choreography of the opening number. I'm even more impressed with the kids' energy. Usually in a high school musical you'd see at least 25% of the kids looking bored and flopping around somewhere in the back. But not our kids!

The afternoon was spent cleaning up some scenes and choreographing the last two. At the very end of the afternoon, I had to work with three characters on a song they didn't appear to know at all. It seems kind of late to be learning a song, but I guess that's not my problem.

To summarize: Working on a Saturday totally blows, but I'm really excited to see the final product... so it'll be worth it.
