Today was hard core practicing for Thursday AND Speech Day. We had the diaphragm training today whereby everybody stood on chairs, hold the chairs away from their body and sing loser like me & light up the world as loud as possible. And it's good to see everybody trying their best and singing at the top of their voices. :) Even during the dance, everybody sang loudly. That is what we need to see and portray on both the full dress rehearsal AND on speech day itself. We can't possibly make you do this exercise every time before we start dancing; that would be wasting a lot of precious time and I don't think you would like to do it every single time as well. So please, take more initiative, don't make us have to shout at you all the time. It's not nice to do so in front of everybody else.
Also here are some of the pointers that we have went through today and keep them in mind when you're practicing at home :
- bounce bounce bounce all the time :) BEND YOUR KNEESSSS
- SHOCKING ENTRANCE. Smile with your teeth, bring audience the joy of performing!
- straight and precise movements during "we got the love alright". Remember that your right shoulder GOES OUT FIRST. And also punch the airrrrr!!!
- Keep communication to a minimal when you are moving into light up the world positions.
- During the "hey hey hey you" 4 rows part, last row and third row, you have to go down together AT the same time. And for the last one, all of you have to get up AT THE SAME TIME as well. This is very important, otherwise everyone will look really messy and that's not nice :(
Above all these points, do take good care of your throat just for this week. No spicy nor fried food, minimize shouting/talking loudly. And drink honey! It's sweet and yummy and helps sooth your throat from today's session. :)
Also, friday will be the results of the new committee, so everybody has to come! ^^
That's all from me today. See you on thursday at the hall! Tag "dance". :D
