Ok, I know, I haven't been keeping up to date. I'm sorry. I've been busy!
Firstly - "Guys and Dolls" was a great success! Loved it! It gave me new experiences, new contacts and more exposure (quite literally if you have seen the costumes I had to wear!). We were sold out pretty much every night. It's not my favourite of the shows I have done so far but I still enjoyed doing it. I loved my costumes and the dancing was good fun and a nice challenge too. So that took up most of my time during the easter break - not much of a holiday for me, I was shattered!
Oh I failed Music Theory - but ONLY on Scale Construction, I think that's quite miraculous for me to be honest! So I have to re-sit that section. Sean is going to go over where I went wrong with my answers on Monday.
I had a photo shoot to use in my marketing materials - that's another graded unit requirement ticked off the list! The photos are lovely and pretentious. I got a couple of my arty friends and we drove out to the Hermitage on a beautifully sunny day!
I had a recording done of me singing "Another Double" from "Streets". Only 4 weeks to go!
There are also now a couple of videos on Youtube of myself and my college band. One is an original called "Funky Monkey" and the other is a cover of "Squeezebox" by "the Who".
"Lord of the Blings: A Hip H-opera" took place on Thursday and I loved every minute of it. I miss it already, was such a great laugh. The guys are so talented and really good fun.
I watched John Cargill's project - a tribute to Justin Timberlake which was really very good, Jay threw some excellent shapes up on stage and it all sounded really good!
I also watched Martin Inches' tribute to Final Fantasy Soundtrack and I absolutely adored it, I love FF! The band sounded really tight and I was just blown away to be honest.
On Monday I'm going to go and see Chris Findlay's project and I'm really looking forward to it!
I have been asked to sing at a Tesco staff night on Thursday. Still not completely sure what I'm going to sing as I need to get backing tracks sorted, currently scouring the net for free/cheap backing tracks.
Singing in JP's reggae project and Paris Afshar's project on Friday (took the day off work and everything! There's commitment for you!).
My next show with Perth City Operatic Group will be in September and it is "Carousel". The principal auditions are very soon and I'm auditioning for the part of Julie- so fingers crossed!
I got an A in my last singing assessment! Mike said it was the best he had ever heard me sing (which is certainly something as I've been singing with him for many years now!) Hopefully I'll sing that well for my audition :D.
Think that's everything. I haven't really gone in to too much detail as there has been so much! But I will let you know how these pending projects etc go.
All the best and the rest, LcB x
