The Show WILL go On!

I am choreographer for High School Musical in Midvale Ut. And during this show I am also running sound. We got there last night to set up and realized that the dressing rooms had been broken into and more than 1/2 of our sound equipment was stolen. They had rifeled through all the costumes as well....and wrote stuff on the mirrors with shaving cream. We lost mics, mic cords, 5 speakers and 2 sound boxes. We were all devastated....then in turn angry and also determined that it wouldn't get the better of us. We decided to do the show with only 4 wireless.....we usually have 10! But because our sound boxes were gone....had to use the only one left! Luckily our director took the mic packs home every night!! So we still have all our wireless mic pacs. It was good we did the show. We started 40 min late but the audience was patient and the show DID go on. It turned out pretty good considering a lot of speaking parts were not heard very well. The kids really turned it up a notch and started the show of their rendition of "We Will Rock U!" ha...got them pumped! They had tons of energy and did great. Yay us!!

Whew!

Whew!! Where o where has this summer gone??
I have done 2 shows! As chorographer....one for Copperview Community Center Youth Theater. We had 63 kids in this show ages 5-18 and it was great. We had a packed audience every night!!
Now I am finishing up High School Musical!! Choreographer for that one too and also am doing sound! It ends this Saturday. We have had about 200 people every night so far. I always spend my summer doing shows! lalalove it!!
My daughter Aubry and her family come this weekend for a week and Adam will be in and out that week too!! Can't wait. I really miss my grown children!!!
I have re-done 2 rooms in our home. The laundry/sewing room and the family room. (Why did they put popcorn ceilings in in the 50's and 60's??ha!) So...there went June and July!!!
So, sad to say, I haven't done my "summer" reading. Of course I am awaiting for the last installment of Harry Potter....just like the whole world! (Harry better not die!!) August is my "free" month......so hopefully I will be able to visit the library and read to my hearts content!!!
