Hey guys :)
There's only one week left until the big night! Well.. more like 6 days- our show is on Saturday, February 9. There are so many things to do, and so little time! I have never been a part of a choir that moved this fast before. The choir that I was involved in all my life (Opera California Youth Choir- OCYC) practiced from September to June for one show. That's ten months!! Here we have a month to learn and perfect a show just as long and involved as OCYC's. At the same time, though, I'm having so much fun. Everyday is such a thrill.
The most stressful part, to me, is the pressure to be the best you can be every single day. Up With People doesn't give you a part and say "this solo/ dance line is yours. ". Everything is subject to change. So every rehearsal, every performance is almost like an audition. Even though it's stressful, I think it's good motivation to try my best every time.
I'm nervous for the coming week. Michael told us that our time here in staging has been 75% but our actual level of stress and readiness for the show is about 3% and that everything will just shoot up this following week. I'm nervous but really excited too. For the week, but also (and mostly) for Saturday. (ahhhh!!!!)
Today is our free day with host families. Feels so nice to just have a day off and sleep in :)
If you want to see pictures, check my Facebook! I realized it would be redundant to post them here as well as Facebook.
Love,
Jessica
