Started the same way this week with our stretches and warm ups and then off we go. There's not much time left until the big night and we're starting to wonder if we will have learnt all the words in time. Books down, everyone! Well, Gary has a surprise in store. We sing Phantom (I think at present it's our favourite, as we sing it quite well). After singing it through once we are asked to sing it again ... without our books! Surprisingly, we don't seem to have much trouble. We also sing Starlight Express without the books, so it looks as though we have been taking in more than we realised. It'll be all right on the night! I'm starting to feel a bit nervous now. Family and friends have begun receiving their tickets |
At the end of the rehearsal I spoke to Gary (Sing Live vocal coach) about the Gethsemane solo. I told him how I had been learning the song with the help of a Michael Ball CD, only to be told that he does not want the song sung that way, so he will send me a CD in the post. I'm starting to feel a bit nervous now. Family and friends have begun receiving their tickets for the concert. There are only 4 solo rehearsals planned, starting 3 February and I still don't know how they want the song sung. Never mind - it will be all right on the night ! |
