A crowd of seven to nine-year-olds, repeatedly screaming your name, as they wait hopefully for you to respond, by smiling, waving, or looking embarassedly at the other teachers. Finally you do all 3, and the crowd goes wild, repeating the process in ...the hopes of catching yet another wonderful performance.
That's exactly what happened at opening night last night! Thanks Bryce :) When I stepped on stage, my boys started screaming and shouting out my name. It was an amazing experience and it was hard to stay in character but of course I could manage *cough cough* When it came to the finale... I didn't have to act anymore so there I was grinning and waving at my darlings... Guess what? A parent came back stage and presented me with a bouquet of red roses! I love the theatre.
The musical went smoothly and the boys were fantastic! I'm going to miss the Day 1 cast so much... especially my son. Even he said that we bonded too late... but our hugging scene at the end came so naturally to us, I believe because that would be the last time that we'd perform together :(
Oh, of course photos will be up soon... once I've recovered from this. Even the backstage crew - the Sec boys helpers - are falling ill :( The poor dears... I've got to get them some Vitamin C sweets instead of feeding them all those unhealthy snacks :p
Get this... I received a call from a florist informing me that I will be receiving flowers between the hours of 2 - 5pm today (day 2). When I asked who this customer is, all I got was that it's a surprise... I hate surprises... so stay tuned to find out who this mysterious sender is.
