Music Rehersal

Despite the fact that everyone has a lot to do during exam week, we still had a very productive music rehearsal today with the cast and Dr. Wu and Dr. Davis. We went over all the ensemble numbers in the first act, and although some spots need some practice, it went really great in general. Music rehearsal was a big stress-reliever that really took my mind off of school work and everything going on in my head. 

It is usually front-loaded in the initial stages of the production, so when we block or choreograph the numbers, we will already know our parts. My favorite number rehearsed today has to be Blackout, which is the final number in the first act. It is not only pleasant to the ears, but also contains so many variations of rhythms and melodies that make it extremely interesting to learn. Check it out on YouTube if you want a sneak peek! As of now, winter break is approaching for us that means time to memorize the melodies and lyrics of the songs, and all of our lines. The show is looking great with high hopes and ardent anticipation for everyone’s performance.

Yours one and only,
