Hey everybody!
So I've been putting together the pieces of my graded unit and it all seems to be coming together. I'm having to count a lot on other people this weekend to get things to me but I remain optimistic! I'm so glad to have such talented friends that were willing to help - other than my fellow class mates and my college lecturers, I also want to thank Mark Walker, Jamie Mowat and Calum Bryson for their assistance (teamwork).
"Streets" rehearsals are going extremely well - less than a week until the first night! I'm really excited, it's a wonderful show and I love doing it. I hope we have a good turn out for the three nights :).
"Carousel" rehearsals with Perth City operatic Group are also progressing nicely - I am going to be missing a few rehearsals for the sake of "Streets" but it cannot be helped. Good news is that I was successful in my audition for the part of Julie Jordan! My biggest part yet :)! (confidence, musical ability, performance skills).
Music theory is stressing me out - I don't want to fail getting on to second year because of theory when I've done so well in my other classes. Finding the time to study as well as rehearse and work and put together my GU and practice for my singing assessment is very tricky! It's very hard to focus at the moment with everything that is going on. However, I will do my best.
So I have my final singing assessment on Monday. Here are some of the songs I'm performing:
"Being Alive"
"Don't Tell Mama"
"What's the Use of Wondrin'?"
"Easy As Life"
Mike has also asked me to perform in a competition on Tuesday, held by the Rotary Club. The plan at the moment is to sing "Being Alive" and "Don't Tell Mama" as these give me the best chance to perform and add drama, especially "Don't Tell Mama".
So wish me luck for Monday for my assessments, Tuesday for the competition and the 2nd, 7th and 8th of June for "Streets"! Oh, and while you're at it you may as well wish me a Happy Birthday- I turn 21 on the 4th of June :D.
Just a final thank you for following my blog.
Wishing you the finest discoveries in life - sweet love, good food, and wonderful music.
(I felt the need to end with something sentimental!)
All the best,
Lauren Claire Baillie xXx
