The next few weeks went by quickly we had practice every day along with voice and dance work. We all practiced at home as well we received our costumes and practiced in them. One afternoon after practice we all worked on the show at Tommy's house so we could go over a hard dance we were having trouble with I started with the count off and Susie led the dance and called out the moves it was cross over cross over back step back step left twist right twist partner step twist cross over cross over and repeat most of us kept falling during our cross over. And dill and JiYeon kept mixing up left and right we practiced all afternoon I fell almost every time we had a cross over which made me mad.
Mommy said You will get it and I finally did which I was proud of to help JiYeon and Dill remember right from left we had Dill who was a lefty remember turn to the hand he writes with and on right turn go the other way We also kept missing the count so mommy did it for us slowly till we got it. We were also having trouble with cues I came out early 3 times during one rehearsal so our director had me remember the word that came right before my cue we practiced and practiced even working at home on some parts.
A week before the show we had longer practices and also some private practices on our solo numbers I was nervous about the solo number I had to preform but Zack was on stage with me so that helped. We also had 2 hours of dance practice during rehearsal we all got together on Sundays at either Tommy's or Susie's to work on our dances and solos. My mommy and I went over my solo almost every night before bed and my grandma had me work on it when we went to run errands.
Two days before the show we were getting ready for dress rehearsal we were getting int our costumes. Sam was helping me with my stinking petty coat it was hard to get into she then buttoned my dress up the back before going to get dressed her self I then helped Zack with his jacket cause he had a little bit of trouble with the buttons cause of the stuffed part of his costume. Across the room Susie was fixing Kate's chef hat cause it wouldn't stop falling off. Kimi was helping lil with her boots.
We then had our makeup applied and waited for the show to start my first cue was Zack saying here comes little miss muffet I went out and started my solo it went I used to be afraid of spiders until the day I met one while eating my curds and whey. I then said I see the muffin lady and Mary and her lamb Susie came out pushing Kate's chair and holding the leash of a baby lamb that a friend of the director had lent us.
The show continued with only a few mistakes like Lil fell over Kai's foot during partner step and I missed my footing on a cross over step. But the audience loved the show We were all very nervous but it was still a lot of fun After the dress rehearsal our mommies took us to a local pizza place for an early dinner so we could rest up before the big show the next night we had to be at the theater 2 hours early our show was set to begin at 7oclock and last about 2 hours.
