HOHO


what a very long day for all beauty and the beast cast and crews.

This was supposed to be a blog entry about my experience in the backstage(how boring, dull, sad), but nevermind, I changed my position.

So I was at the back beside Alvin who plays with the lights and signals Josh. I was keeping the timing, raising my hand when we have to change the background, whispering words to Alvin like what is the next scene, or if the lights off is close, and finally keeping my nose stuck to the script to know the sequence.

But anyway, it is still a long way there before all of that happened.

I was the first one to arrived at school. (Yay) Then I was followed by Ben and his bro. For the mean time, we have to wait outside standing because the main entrance is closed. Then we were followed by Celeen. This time I am tired of waiting so I went to the k-3 area through the back door and I asked the guard whom I don't know if we are allowed to get inside; he said yes.

Then I called the rest. Just seconds after that Alvin arrived. Then he also joined us.

It was so dark and silent upstairs. We went to 3rd floor and stayed there for a few minutes. Then Alvin and I decided to check upstairs if it is open. When we where there, we noticed that the door was lock. Then I saw the window and luckily it was not locked. Then we called everybody to get inside,

Alvin and I parted ways first as I set the projector and he set the lights. I finished setting the projector first since it is just simple.

Then everybody started coming in through the windows, and finally the director was here. He told us to manage our synchronization (lights, backgrounds, and the sounds). While doing it, I realized that it might be a total failure since we won't be hearing Joel say "lights off". So I borrowed the presenter/pointer to sir Richmond so I can work with Alvin at the back.

Then we had a technical make-up rehearsal of everything. I saw a lot of defects with my ppt and timing so I tried my best to add some last minute changes after the rehearsal. I was seriously stressed at the backstage since I am not sure if I corrected everything already. Then I told myself: "just trust what you have there ---- ohh &^&Y I got 5 minutes before the audience arrive."

So basically I have no choice but to settle with the changes that I have.

Then I was so nervous at the back for I might fail.

I was really happy when we finished the play, there were no mistakes in my ppt, and my timing is miraculously correct. HOHO The play was seriously shocking for me. I thought we will screw up a lot but .. wow... the show continued to roll.

As I press the pointer, there are times where I accidentally click it at a wrong time. But, luckily, the receiver didn't picked up the signal.



Anyway.. It was so coool.

Sorry for the long post.
