I was very nervous on Tuesday with my first vocal rehearsal, but thank goodness for Music and his piano skills - they helped a lot little exercises and parts they were struggling with. We started with "Prince Ali" and worked on some of the melody and overlay. Continued that on Thursday with some reprises as well. Our Jafar is awesome - such a deep voice and perfect for the part! I was much more relaxed on Thursday, and now that I have my aunt's keyboard, things are much better. I can practice at home and am better prepared for the rehearsals.
This week it is "Arabian Nights" which is a bit different than the movie, with multiple parts and reprises. Will be more of a challenge for sure. We already had to replace a narrator because one of them couldn't make all the after school practices. We started with 61 and we are down to 50! I hope not too many more drop out of our chorus - it's so powerful right now - it's incredible! All these kids are so talented.
Sat in for a bit of the choreography for "Friend Like Me" on Friday too - Marta with her pregnant belly protruding as an orange pumpkin was dancing around with them and getting them in step - so cute! It's all coming together and I keep getting more and more excited!
Now my only challenge? Devoting as much time as my daily courses compared to the after school stuff - I still have to keep the science and chemistry going strong!
