Dress rehearsal went marvellously! I was at the bandshell twice before for a Halloween festival, but I haven't been there since I was about eleven.

There are two shows down of A Christmas Carol, and one last show tonight. I haven't blogged a lot about drama, because it's difficult to really get my feelings out about it.
