Ok so wow i haven't updated in a while. Let's recap the last weeks.
Last Friday, we all went to the basketball game before we left for the junior thespian festival in atlanta. Going up there, there was a really bad smell. We stopped at mcdonald's for supper and then continued up toward atlanta. Got to the hotel around 9:30. We then unpacked in our rooms and had to get into our black clothes to practice. As we walked down stairs to the lobby, all these other teams were staring at us, because we were the only ones like formally dressed and not in jeans, but we really looked the best and most professional. Anyway so we practice for about 30 minutes and then went back to the room. Basically just went to sleep.
Saturday we got up at 6 and took showers and so forth and went to breakfast in the HUGE breakfast room/meeting area. The hotel was sooo nice. We ate breakfast, which wasn't the buffet they advertised, because you could only get one serving and the pastries were really gross. Then we went to one of the practice rooms right after they called our names out. Then it was time for us to performs. We were in the ballroom "C". It was a small room with a stage made for this competition, and the walls were really thin, because you could hear "hard knock life" from the people in ballroom "B" next to us. So we did a music check, and they had a freakin dvd player to play the music on, which meant that there was no screen to tell what number you were on. GREAT! not, after "tradition" the music freakin messed up! luckily since mrs. cheyne said "its not working" the judges stopped the time. AHH, i was so mad/sad/scared/humiliated. I wanted to leave the room. But we continued on, and we kicked butt, because all the teams that went after us like sucked sooo bad, until the final group went up there, they were godspell. THEY WERE AWESOME. and our whole room was thinking "crap, we actually had a chance until now". But, i mean they were really, really, really, good. The problem was they went over time and so we actually were back in the runnings again. So the judging and so forth went from 9 to 12. We then traveled back to the eating place to have another horrible meal, this time it was a sandwich and ONE bag of chips.
Then we had free time until 2:30. So since you couldn't have people of the opposite sex in your room even with an adult, we played cards in the hallway. lol it was funny, everyone was staring at us again. So we went back down to go to our work shops which were surprisingly fun. First we had a britsh guy talk about improv and having fake conversations in the background of the main focus. Then the guy from american idol came up and we had to learn "dalmation planation" for the closing ceromony. That song is so ridiculous. Then we had this gay choreographer teach the dance for it. It was so stupid it was fun. So after those workshops they called some teams up that they liked from the judging to try the song at a different perspective. and so we got to go up on stage. It was interesting. Anyway, after that we ate dinner, which was actually pretty good, it was the best meal we had. It was some kind of pasta and meatballs and a huge cookie. The cookie was good.
Then we had more free time until like 7. Two hour break. We found the pool area and found out that there was a racketball court. It was so cool. So we played racket ball and the went and changed for the showcases of the new disney plays. That was at 7:30. The cinderella and aladin was really good. Aladin especially. I was in awe.
After that we traveled back to the eating room for the "radio disney dance party" whoooooo. it was so lame. they played like the macarena and cha cha slide a billion times. So at ten mrs. cheyne said we could leave. So people left, then she got all mad (long story). Then everyone got into their pajamas and we sat in the hallway talking and listening to music just chilling. then at 11:30 ching cheyne said we had to go in our rooms. So we went to bed.
In the morning we woke up at 7 because breakfast was at 8. So we went downstairs after packing everything up. We got down and sat at the stairs and waited and charles and greg showed up and no one else. It was like 8:30 and mrs. cheyne came out of her room. and we're like what the heck? so we waved and yelled up at her on the fifth floor out of 14 stories. and she was like come here. we got up there and she said that we didn't have to be a breakfast till nine. and was like "i told you, you could sleep another hour" no, she didn't, i was so pissed. Anyway we went to breakfast and i had to paint the letters for our tech display. and i got a little paint on the table. Oh well. Then there was the tech fair. and then Christy Carlson Ramono came in for a question and answer session. She was kinda mean. Anyway then michael orland came in and talked, he was boring.
Then lunch. then we had more free time and so we went to the mall that was connected to the hotel. THere was nothing in there but a bridal shop and a ski shop. So we went in the bridge over the four way to the cumberland mall. went to abercrombie and american eagle. Got back and got on the school bus to go over the fox, we were the only one with a cheese, it made us feel poor. lol.
Anyway, then we got to the fox and had the closing ceromony which was lead by christy carlson ramono. We won three awards. We weren't even expecting any. it was great we won: best group acting, best techinal 3D drama display (best set), and ben redding won best actor, we were so proud of him. Then we went to the "egyptian ballroom" for dinner in the fox. It was subway, it was...ok. Then we went back into the theater and saw "beauty and the beast" starring who else but christy carlson ramono. Wow, it was actually really good. and we were laughing so hard at the gay kid from one of the other groups. Ben wrote the gay kid a note that said "hi, my name is kyle,and i'm the fifth kid from the right" and then it had kyle's number on it. We saw the kid take out his phone and dial a number. Haha. We died. then the gay kid started standing up and clappinig with the beat during intermisson and blake threw a reese pieces at him. and he sat down. Anyway then we left. and came home.
The past week was ok. Monday i slept. I was so tired. Tuesday we performed our competiton piece for the PTA. Wednesday we had advanced drama and went over lines and stuff. Thursday in gym we picked basketball teams. and wrote a song in science about clouds. Random. Friday or yesterday was okay, but tiring. I found out that i made superlatives. Yea. anyway this a long entry, so if you read the whole thing, props to you!
