The Sound of Music
For the spring musical this year our drama director and choir director chose 'The Sound of Music'. I was in soccer during auditions for principle characters so I didn't go to the auditions. Which I now regret but I was also a little chicken about auditioning. But I knew I was going to be in the play for choir but I never knew what the choir was going to be cast as. I have always loved the story of 'The Sound of Music' so I knew I'd be happy with whatever part we were cast as.
About two weeks ago in choir we were told that only the girls were going to be nuns for two scenes of the play. In these two scenes we would sing 'How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" and "Climb Every Mountain". We got sheet music for "Climb Every Mountain" but about one three girls knew the lyrics to "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" We practiced "Climb Every Mountain" for days until we mastered it. This previous Monday we started going to play rehearsals up until opening night. Opening night went amazing!!
I think that the best night was the second night , Thursday, because I had so much fun on and off stage. I made a new friend, Mae Mae M, by being in this play! Mae Mae and I are really weird when we're together so on the second night we thought everything and anything was the funniest thing in the world. On stage Mae Mae and I could not keep it together because we were laughing to hard. The second I stepped out on stage I saw all of my friends and their families in the audience and Mae Mae did too because we starting laughing so hard, we tried to cover it and keep singing but it just did not work out. We were only laughing during our first scene so we had to get ourselves together for the second one but that did not work out so well either.

The third night was a great ending to a great play! But not as fun as the second night. I love everyone I got to work with for this show and I loved being in the presence of such talent at my school! I hope everyone got to see it and if you didn't.. you missed out big time.
Lauren! I went the second night and I was sitting by Anna and Mallory...You made us laugh so hard when you ran across the stage at the end!! The play was incredible and I'm so glad I went.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a ton of fun! I can totally picture you laughing up on stage. I was so disappointed whenever i was not able to make it, but the play sounds like a huge hit!
ReplyDeleteI had such a fun time with y'all in the play!! Walking on stage and looking across at you laughing during the first song that we sang was priceless! I hope that me and you can both try out next year, I heard some talk about what the musical might be and that you have a nice chance to be a main character!!
