This is kind of an update on what's happening in my life. We just finished our auditions for our school musical, Titanic. For the first time in four years, I received a call back vocal audition which was really important for me. I just received the cast list tonight, and not only did I make it in, but I play the role of one of the officers on the ship. Apparently, there are four officers, which could mean there is a lot of individual singing involved for me, which fits me perfectly because I love singing. So the bottom line is.........
I'm in the show
I get to die
I GOT A PART :D
-
Hay cool! :) I was always a pit orchestra player in our high school musicals.
-
It's good you got a part I was in a school musical for drama class once in middle school a few years ago.
-
Sweet! When the production is finished, can we get some photos?
Also, make sure you survive the first show.
-
Congratulations, LBTFan13 :yes! I sure miss being in choir and theatre. Live it up while you're still in high school ;).
-
Cool! :)
Are you to be the first officer Murdoch?
Or is the role described as officer without the name?
-
Good luck. I hope you do great and have a lot of fun.
-
Sounds good. Good Luck!
-
Hey that's really awesome! I'd neverbe able to even sign up for something like that :p would be too scared, but it's cool that you got that role! :) I wish you luck and hope you get to do a lot of singing :)
-
A month of rehearsing has finished. The show is going very well, but it is HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never had to sing so much in my life, especially high! The important thing is I'm loving every minute of it and will continue to work hard at it.
I will attempt to put pictures up when the production is done
-
Congrats and hope you do well. I was always a tech crew person in our productions except for Senior year they let me have a part...maybe because I was a Senior :)
We did A Midsummer Nights Dream
-
Oh wow, that's wonderful! I'm happy to hear you're stepping up to the challenge, and I'm sure you'll do great!
I miss theater too. I was the Cheshire Cat in a rendition of Disney's version of Alice in Wonderland. They cut all of the little song numbers, unfortunately, except for the Mome Rath song :lol I was so happy to be able to sing it.
-
You're definitly training your voice huh? Do you think we get to hear anything of it? :D
-
Which of the officers do you play (if the officer has a name in the musical)? Having read a lot about the Titanic I still know the names of most officers (and a few details about a few of them) by heart.
-
The best of wishes for you my friend! :)
Please do show us pictures when it's done! :yes
-
I play Officer Boxhall. Although he doesn't have many lines, I have plenty of singing opportunities. Also, to make it fair, I also play Taylor in the band and sing "Doing the Latest Rag", as well as a passenger who is secretly a gambler who cheats at cards to win money. Fun for me :angel
Maybe I will record a couple of the songs for you guys ;)
-
Cool :)
But Boxhall was one of the officers who survived I think (would have to check it out though to make sure).
-
Yeah, Boxhall survived. Chief Officer Henry Wilde, First Officer William Murdoch, and Sixth Officer James Moody were the only ones who died. The rest survived.
-
You'll get to die twice LBt, as the gambler, and as Hardy.. so things get even better..if you like dying..
-
Well I wouldn't mind dying, but then again I don't want to be a whimp and die from something minimal. I assume I will die from drowning or freezing, but it would be cool if say a chandeleir fell on top of me :lol:
-
Well I haven't updated on the musical in a while, so I figured I should. Rehersals have gone into high gear now. Since the begining of March, we go three nights a week three hours a night. It is very tiring, but it is well worth every moment of it! Unfortunately for me, none of my characters survive. My director made some changes and even though Boxhall survives in real life, I get knocked off in the show. Yay me :lol:
We finally started singing with the full pit orchestra, and I gotta say it is unbelievable! This music is extremely hard, both for the chorus and the pit. We are both doing a great job with it, and I'm really excited for us. It's so much more fun when we sing with more than a piano, especially when our choir director likes to complain about banging the keys on the piano too hard :rolleyes:
This show is VERY VERY tiring, and I don't think I've had to work this hard in any of my four years in drama guild. Thank god we have off from practice during spring break, because I need to rest a lot! Again, I definitely will try to upload pictures from the show if I can, and maybe I will record one of the songs for you guys if I can find a good one.
That's all for now :DD
-
Almost a month has gone by since my last update, so here's another one.
This week is the last week of rehearsals, because opening night is THIS FRIDAY :D I am so excited and I can't wait to start because we've put so much work into this production and it is going to be AMAZING! We actually have a ship deck that tilts to emulate the ship sinking which looks COOL!
I know I said I would record some of the songs for you guys, but because I can't find instrumentals of the songs I don't find that possible. Sorry if you were looking forward to it. However, if I am able to, I WILL be posting some pictures from the show for all to see :blink:
-
Okay awesome.
Can't you get anyone to record something with a videocamera or something ? :D Anyway, pics are fine too :) Have fun friday!! :D
-
Well, opening night was tonight, and WE DID AWESOME! We sold out EVERY SINGLE seat in the auditorium which was a first for us and it felt so good! We are all so excited to continue tomorrow night!
To answer your question Mumbling, people aren't allowed to bring in cameras/ video cameras to the show because the flash can disrupt the actors. Howeverm our school is videotaping us with non flash cameras, so once those come out I can post links to those videos.
-
Okay awesome! :)

Well, it was a very emotional weekend, but Titanic is officially over :( We sold out both Friday and Saturday night, so it was a great weekend to go out on. Unfortunately, Saturday brought the last high school show for seniors, including myself. I promised myself I wouldn't cry, and I failed miserably :rolleyes: . All of the seniors were so sad that this was our last show, but I think the emotion made it our best show in all four years of Drama Guild.
We have a ceremony on closing night where each senior gets a parent/staff member to personally thank in front of everybody. Lucky me, I got my choir teacher. There was no way I could keep myself from crying during my speach because it's because of her that I am the singer I am today. She pushed me to my highest limit, and she believed in me every step of the way. I could and can never repay her for that. :(
Anyway, the seniors all got together and we hugged and cried some more, but it was this passion that helped make closing night the best night we had ever had. I am so proud of our school's accomplishment, but I am very sad that I will no longer be a part of the Drama Guild productions.

well, you could go on to perform on stage in college. I continued singing in college ansd got to be pretty good at it..
