School has been going remarkable well this week. I believe today will the first day this week they will not complete all of their work before lunch (11am). But they will finish shortly after lunch, so I'm happy with it.
Rehearsals went well. Tuesday night is always "costume night" and is always trying. This time I was asked to help with costumes. A job I've avoided all these years. But I was eager to learn as soon as I heard Ms. Donna was there. Woohoo! For those who do not know, Ms. Donna is THE Costume Lady (next to Mr. Jerry). She made most of the costumes herself and has been doing it for years. She is awesome. So learning from her put me at ease...until I found out she wouldn't be there the rest of the week. {Palm to forehead} But last night went well. I only had to put one hat in the freezer. :) (If any part of a costume is left where it should not be, it goes in the freezer; that person never forgets.)
Tuesday was also the first night Jesse had her throne to practice "melting". (Ms. Donna's son created the chair.) Jesse loathes the chair. She says it is difficult. However, from the audience's perspective it looks awesome! The only thing we won't have in Camden, that we had in Columbia, is the fog. Which really made it creepy.
Tonight is opening night. None of us can believe it is already here. The girls are excitedly nervous. I have my marching orders from Mr. Jerry now. Seems like when you are working with this many children there is always something coming up, so you just have to go with it. Hopefully, I won't forget my note for tonight.
So...On with the show!
