It's all about the music!! Today we focused on the singing aspect of our performance and it was soooo much fun! Our musical director Harry (who we were introduced to two sessions before) started us of with some very catchy warm up songs like, "Ave Maria," "Pa Pa had a head like a ping pong ball," and, "This old freedom train," my personal favourite. Once we had warmed up our voices we began our singing session which challenged our concentration and memory skills. Our three main songs being some of the well known pop songs of our time, such as Kate Nash’s "Mouthwash," "Chasing Cars," by Snow Patrol, and "Home town Glory," by Adele. Our basic aim for this session was to catch our bearings with each of these songs and learn to sing as a group instead of individually, because although most of us knew the songs we had never sung them together in front of a paying audience (which is slightly different from singing in front of the mirror with your hair brush!) It was doubly important to make sure people were singing the right notes to make our cast sound and look professional and confident. Apart from having some difficulty with Kate Nash (there’s always one *tut tut) we became quite confident with the songs and Harry helped us introduce yet another group skill to our cast which will be shared with the our audience come July!
Thanks Harry! ... and the LAB of course.

CHEERIO!
