Auditions!

Today was audition day!!

It was stinking hot so thankfully I was in an air conditioned study for most of the afternoon/early evening!

Auditions for all the musicals take place at one time - the lower camper shows are in one room with their Directors and AD's and the upper camper shows in another. We were lucky enough to see most people today - there are some really talented kids! Then we see a few more in the morning, do call backs, then go into a casting session with all the Director's and work out which show each kid will be in - everyone who auditions gets in! Then we hopefullt start rehearsals tomorrow night! So it's all on the go!

I have been listening to the Score of 'Phantom'as well (not the ALW version) and it has some great songs, I am really excited to be working on it!

On Thursday we had a day off so most of us caught the buses that were provided into Binghamton which was about 45 mins away. We had a great day - all you can eat Chinese buffet for lunch, we caught a session of 'Sex and the City'which was fab!! then shopping at Walmart! It was huge! It had everything you can imagine and was all soooo cheap!

On Friday we were in meetings all day and then we had our first lot of campers arrive! So now the kids are here!

Our proper schedule starts on Monday and my classes for this session are:

Major 1 - Phantom Rehearsals
Minor 1 - Phantom Rehearsals
Minor 2 - Theatre Games (with another counsellor Lexi)
Major 2 - OFF
Minor 3 - Theatre Games (with Joe)
Major 3 - Super Troupe (with David and Jessica)

Super Troupe is going to be great, we have chosen our theme - my suggestion - TV Show Themes!!! So we have to work with the 11-14's to produce a show by the end of session!!

Well that's about all that is happening at the moment, which is actually quite a lot! Computers are blocked for the next fews days as kids aren't allowed to email/call home for a while, I am using my Bunk mate's laptop, but I think I may be run off my feet for the next few days!! It's just great to be finally started!!
