Performing in front of 60,000 people…
A crowd of 60,000 people at a dress rehearsal for the London 2012 opening ceremony (via @2012govuk on Twitter)
So as you may not have noticed, I’m one of the performing volunteers for the London 2012 Opening Ceremony, in front of a total of 200,000 people in the stadium over three nights, and one billion TV viewers worldwide. Which, oddly, isn’t that daunting - probably because I’ve got a relatively small role.
You won’t get any particular spoilers from me (unless you want to know precisely where I’ll be, in which case just ask!) - but you may want to carve out 90 minutes of your life on Friday to watch the ceremony. I’ve seen most of it four times, and there are bits that still manage to either draw out a small tear. Or have me playing air synth with gusto.
So get in front of your TV just before 9pm UK time (or 4pm New York, 1pm California time). You’ll love it, I promise.
