So, last night was the first rehearsal for 'Guilds' - yay! Can't wait to be back on stage although it's difficult to believe it's been a year since my last rehearsal. I was fairly aprehensive as the cast already know each other from the past two shows which I hadn't been in (damn final year) and I don't know them, fortunately there are a few of us oldies around too (rather odd to say that as I'm only 21 and haven't done as many shows as some of the newer members, think it's just cause I joined the society at the tail-end of 'old savoy' so have been accepted as such) although not very many (Andy, Chris and, Rachel and I). But got chatting to a few of the chorus, and they seem like nice girls, so hopefully that'll outweight the irritation that certain people will cause.
The MD, John, ran through the music (which he wrote) and it sounds superb! Am thoroughly impressed, and looking forward to hearing it with it's various eight-part harmonies :) Chris, the Director, went through the storyline (written by Alister Braden): it sounds good, and has plenty of New Labour jokes thrown in. I have a feeling that if we get the publicity right and the show goes to plan, we might have a very sucessful show on our hands. Fingers crossed! Rehearsals are Sundays and Thursdays until the summer break, which as a rehearsal schedual I've always prefered to the Sunday-Monday rehearsal schedual of previous shows. The big question is ; where are we going to rehearse after the break? I'll be damned if I'm travelling out to Liberton every rehearsal. Oh well, hopefully that'll get sorted earlier rather than later. So, first real rehearsal on Sunday - horrah!
Today: start revision (no rest for the wicked), go to Adam's leaving drinks.
