Week 4

Can't believe that we're here at week 4. Holidays were a dream I had ages ago. As said we are catching up pace with Star Struck post move and later lead in time (August show last year). It will happen and like all glitches backstage everyone will assume that we are still totally in control. In fact Mad is (as always) but I'm just paddling like crazy under the surface to realise the fantastic ideas in the budget. We're all used to deadlines so that'll happen.
This week we meet with choreographers. That's the next part of the plan. Have to have the rough of the show in a bit better shape by Wednesday. Too many ideas and too little time to play with. Our limit is under 50 songs. Less than 3 hours total performance including comperes, interval and setting. We are also attempting as always tyto include 3000+ students on the floor twice. A small number to us is anything less than 100 on the floor and that will not happen often.
The student production team are focused on Changes in a day and sounding brilliant.
The signing choir are involved with Wind of Change and the Berlin wall and I speak to Melissa Wright opn Wednesday re the Aboriginal dance vision.
In the words of Yoda " Excited i am".
