Gang Show - 17 Days To Go

... or 12 hours of rehearsal if you want to look at it in my new and terrifying way.

This weekend was great. Everyone seemed to get into it and be prepared to give it all a go. We were left wondering what else to rehearse at times because the cast were doing so well. A huge well done to everyone who turned up.

On the other hand it was really disappointing to see such a low turnout form some sections. I have always been the first to concede that people will have other commitments outside Scouting, and giving up whole weekends to us can be difficult, but all I have ever asked is that you let someone know if you can't make it. That way we don't spend hours wondering if you are going to show up for your part.

So if you turn up to the next rehearsal and find your part has been given to someone else it is entirely down to the fact you didn't apologise for your absence in advance.

12 hours. Learn your parts people.

Gang Show - 19 Days To Go

What more can I say than that title? 3 weeks today we will be almost finish our second-last performance of the 2009 Gang Show. Now hands up who doesn't know their lines/songs/dance steps?

To give you an idea of how little rehearsal time we have, here is a list of planned rehearsals:

Saturday 17th October 0900 - 1600
Sunday 18th October 0900 - 1600

Thursday 29th October - 1800 - 2100

Sunday 1st November - 0900 - The End

Monday 2nd November - 1800 - The End - DRESS REHEARSAL

When I do some simple maths that adds up to 26 hours of rehearsal time. That's just more than a day. Do you think you can be ready for the Gang Show in just one day?

*gulp*

Time to know those lines and steps and make sure your costume is all in order. See you in the morning.
