Performance Time!

Today was the second to last day of summer camp. Since I did musical theater, as I had explained in my previous blog, we performed today in front of a lot of kids and parents, also some teachers. When I first arrived at summer camp we ran through the entire show once and with remaining time practiced other parts. But after recess we practiced for a small amount of time and then, it was time for the performance. The first time we ran through the entire show fully, it took us 58 minutes because the teacher had to tell us to correct and also taking a long time to change the sets. On the day of the performance when we practiced it was only 47 minutes, we narrowed it down by over 10 minutes! For the real show it was a bit longer because of clapping. In the beginning everyone was super nervous, but since Belle had an opening song after the narrators, she was most nervous (also because she's the main character, the Beast is a main character too). The teacher gave us all a pep talk, and we did a circle squeeze to calm us down. The show was around 50 minutes but it felt like 10. It was incredibly fun. In the beginning of musical theater, it wasn't really fun because we didn't do the entire thing together with props and costumes. But because of us being able to change the sets, wear costumes, and use props, it was much more fun. After the performance, we all took pictures and cleaned up. Tomorrow, we're going to have a class party to celebrate our success! This musical theater summer camp has been super fun.
