STATE DRAMA FESTIVAL
Back down in Hurricane and Apple Valley after a Fabulous weekend up in Nephi with the Drama Team.
Friday we left early in the morning, lots of us in PJs and with blankets and pillows, but everyone with spirit. During the bus ride up north for 4 hours I spent most of the time playing Battleship with Trevor. When we arrived to Juab High School in Nephi we unloaded our stuff, warmed up on the grass, got into costume in a tiny bathroom with a TINY mirror (seriously, it was a girls bathroom, mirrors are REQUIRED! haha), put on makeup and got an idea of the stage and hallwas and entrances and stuff.. Then, when we started our show at 1 pm-ish, turns out our music didn't work in their system!!! PANIC.
Yeah that's me... ;P
We did the show acapella, and I really wanna say how wonderfully amazing all the people are who sing solos and had to do it without music which we've never done before. Also, some people took chances when the music didn't give us our ques for entering, like Tristan for example in the first scene. We still got a lot of great comments from the judges, and turns out (at the awards cermony) that we got straight superiors!!! Best possible, straight A's, MVG från alla domare... yeah
So, we watched a few of the other schools' plays and then went to the motel and ate and jumped into the pool.. :D So many people in such a small pool, wow. We had SO MUCH FUN, I can't believe I'm leaving these people for (most likely) ever.. We played an awesome game where girls sat on the shoulders of the guys and then we tried to push each other off of other guys' shoulders, if that makes sense at all..? It was awesome, especially when i sat on Cedric's shoulders cause he's sooo tall ;)
Oh wonderful cast!! Laura and Keeley on the bus :D <3
Then we watched some of Shrek 3 in Solveig and Krystal's room, and everyone hung out in the hallway because girls and boys weren't allowed in the same room. Throughout the evening Rich had one event at a time in his room to practise IEs one last time, and classical scenes (me) we were last and because of overtime like always, we didn't get in there til it was almost past curfew so we fell asleep in the hallway while waiting haha x)
I was the room captain of a room with Taya, Taylor, Rachael and Erika, a nice bunch of wonderful little girls. We had so much fun, and played an awesome prank with the last thing in the vending machine and some mayo x'D
Two of my roomies: Rachael and Taya <3
Saturday morning we all went to Chevron (gas station) and got unhealthy american breakfast, before packing our things and leaving the motel to go to Juab High again for a day of IEs...
The IEs went by fast and we did a great job in all rounds I think. We used the musical card thingy again and turns out we got straight superiors from our judges too, me and Solveig :D Wohoo
Rachael, me and Taya dancing hahah we look stupid ;) but we had fun xD
Then we had some hang out time before the awards cermony, and OH MY GOSH HOW I LOVE DRAMA PEOPLE!!!
the big open lunch area turned into a crazy dance floor with loud music and tons of people showing off swing dance with jumps, and our own Bill did amazing Michael Jackson imitations ;) Pure AWESOMENESS!!! <3
Bill in hat, Shelly and Mitch in purple beanie, and Jessica, Keeley and Freya inthe background
So, then there were the Show case rounds, with the best in each event showing off, and Bill and Gareth got into the pantomime one!! They are so awesome :)
Then at the awards cermony a lot of us got medals for our straight superiors in IEs, and we got a price for overall superior school :) Needless to say, we cheered pretty loud xD
Heading home on the bus
Left rown down, Right row up: Courtney, Shaylin, Gareth, Cheila, Freya, Morgan, Adrianne and Trevor
We took some pics of the whole cast by the Juab High School (haven't got those yet) and got on the bus with all our stuff.. All the seniors held little speeches to thank drama and tell everyone how they'd miss it (except LuEllen, haah she'd never miss it ^^) and there was some crying...
Zoe <3
I think this is one of the few pics I have of Rich at the moment.. Rich Hill, awesome acting coach, I will miss him a lot. He looks angry here but he's never angry, almost ;)
The bus ride back to Hurricane was great. It was dark most of it, and I spent a lot of time with a bunch of people (Solveig, Taylor, Trevor, Zoe and Laura) talking and having fun.
We stopped once to get dinner, and it turned out to be Carl's Jr's fish and chips and a banana-chocolate chip shake for me. Though many from the cast left their fries on our table so the bunch of us shared them all ahaha I was so full afterwards. Also, I got two shakes by accident, so Trevor got one cause he didn't have a drink and then we all got back on the bus and by the time we got to Hurricane we unloaded the bus and the sad moment of splitting up arrived..
Laura asleep on the bus ^^ <3
Me and Zoe on the bus - trying not to cry
I'll upload more pics as soon as I have them. Tomorrow it's back to school for another week.
