I've got lighting, I got music, I got some sound... who could ask for anything more?

Well we now have lighting, which is good seeing as you know we have less that 24 hours to go!

I can sing with a microphone right in front of my face and successfully whack my music teacher (my singing partner for the song) over the head with a gigantic inflatable hammer!!!!

I find our song so amusing because he can never remember all his lines word for word- which is slightly confusing for me!

We have a fab backstage team and I love them all!! Vicky is so the best!!! (You should have seen our crash mat sofa!!)

I am praying tomorrow will go smoothly- "DON'T BREAK A LEG!!!!"
hehe!!!

3 days to go but oh well.....

3 days to go till the show but oh well, when I left school we had no lighting and people whining on at other people!

But I'm sure the show will turn out fine- keeping positive!

I hope things look better on the stage tomorrow. x

Done it! Lets Party!

Phew... that's my history coursework finished after months and months of work and hours and hours of sitting here typing it.

Yes.... 9pm exactly on the 25th March I finished both essays!

I'm well pleased with myself it feels like a huge weight is off my shoulders!

So I've celebrated! I got myself a glass of milk! Weird- but I love milk!
It feels great but I am never ever ever going to mention Ivan Lapper's name again nor am I going to write another essay on Wroxeter! Plus I am never going to redo my GCSE History!

I should get a really good grade for my coursework and I should hope so. My mum has been really good supporting me and telling me just to get on with my history coursework then it will be done!

NOW IT IS DONE!!!!!! Wooooo!

(I enjoyed the milk if your wondering!! x)

Show week!!!!!

Yay! Its finally show week! I can't wait we have our first technical run through tomorrow- should be fun!! (I've never used microphones properly before- apparently I am using 2 microphones!!) I hope I don't break or damage anything! (Ooops!) I don't see what happened to health and safety on the stage!?! I went to see it on Friday and all I saw was wires, wires, wires! (and Amps, and microphones!!)
I can't wait to sing on the stage tomorrow- never done it before!! (by myself that is!) I have been reassured everything will work but every time we have a show something breaks or goes wrong! We are using the dreaded fishing wire again (not 91 metres this time Andrew!!) We have tickets on sale finally after a bit of nagging that we only have days till the show! Its 4 days till the show now. I am a tiny weeny bit nervous but that's always good apparently?! We are selling 400 tickets which is a bit scary but its for charity!
I am using a inflatable hammer and a bow and arrow in my song (should be fun!)

We attempt two part harmony at the end of the song which should be interesting?!?! (hehe!) Hope I get my part right- have done so far!!!!

Right, ok so please but tickets!!! If you can!! They are only £2 (nearly the same as the Haygate or for a big Mac burger!!!)

Happy Mothers Day!





We had a wonderful family day out today to Stokesay Castle. The weather was rather wintery but it didn't spoil the day (even though it was a bit cold). Just a bit cold!

Stokesay Castle is a 13th century manor house in a beautiful setting. Well worth a visit! (Especially if your local).

I'm in!

I went for an interview at New College this afternoon! I got in!
I am so pleased with myself, but I don't want to leave school. I think its going to be really hard for me to leave. Though I can't wait to start working towards my A Levels!
It all is starting to become real. To me it seems ages till we start our exams but when I look at the calendar they look really close.

I have a singing exam in Shrewsbury on Tuesday! I am a bit excited as its my first singing exam ever but a tiny weeny bit nervous! (Its always good to be a tiny weeny bit nervous- I think!)

Its 2 weeks to go till the Performance Evening and already I am anxious that these new ideas for the lighting may not work as hoped! (14 days! Arrgggggggghhhh!)
I want as many people to come and watch the show, there will be 350 seats which you have to get in advance!

The show should be good! (If these ideas get transformed from ideas to reality!)

I LOVE MONDAYS!

Hi,
Today's aerobics lesson was fun but very hard!
We recapped the routine we had learnt last week, but nobody could remember it off by heart so... we learnt it again! We learnt it inside out- which is harder than you think! I loved it though! Hehe! AEROBICS ROCKS!!!! You don't get bored at all! Our instructor wears us out though!
I can't wait till next week!

My singing lesson was great we were acting and singing at the same time! For my singing exam I am doing "I Got Rhythm, I Got Music!" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?"

Today's been a great day! I am going to Girls Brigade tonight which should be fun!

I LOVE MONDAYS!

Aerobics Is Fun!!

Guess what................

I went to an aerobics class at school on Monday! It was really fun- not at all what I expected.
We learnt an aerobics-dance routine! It had a salsa and cha cha cha move in it, so I was really impressed with myself!

It was open to all yr.10 and yr.11 girls, so I went. I was the only yr.11 girl there!! (But next week there might be a few more- I have persuaded a few!!!) I have friends who went who are yr.10 so I still had a little giggle!! (hehe!) I felt really hot and tired afterwards though!! (couldn't switch the radiator off!) I drank 2 bottles of water in an hour!

I can't wait to go next week, I have found a new talent!

Something else I am good at.........
