The Saturday Performances

Yesterday I finished performances!!!!
Here's my day:
I woke up at 9:40 and ate breakfast.  Then I got dressed in my leo and tights and made shur I had everything I needed.  Then I left home at around 10:55.  I picked up Clara and we went to the high school. We arrived at around 11:05 and went to our table.  I hung up my costume and put on my warm-ups.  I bought a snack and after I went to the stage to get warmed up.  In about 5 minutes we stared our class.  It started at 11:30 and ended around 1:00.  So after the hour and a half class I went back into the cafeteria.  I ate and put on my makeup.  Then I got into my illusionist costume.

So The show started and I was in the hallway leading to the stage.  I saw a little bit of the dances before our Jr. Co dance.  They were all little kids, and they were "Galaxy dancers".  There were moonbeams, constellations, and more.  After them there was young princesses, and then the illusionist.  I think it went pretty well, and I didn't see anyone mess up.  So that was good.  after there was the secret garden, garden polka, fleurs de joix, Anne of green gables, mazurka from Coppelia (that was pretty cool, it was Sr. Co character dance), Nuestra (that was also really cool i loved the music and the choreography was great.   Then we had our first intermission.  by then I had my second costume on.  It was a lot of fun, and I took my portrait picture before the  

intermission ended.  I went backstage and took some pictures of Raymonda.  Raymonda lasted for a long time, because there was a waltz first with the entire VBT Co with Emily Rutz leading.  Then there were solos: first Holly Stone, Allison Zengilowski, Emily Rutz, Victoria DeLuca, a group of Kylie Edwards, Vivien Farrel, and Charlotte Pratt, Haleigh Pierce, and Toni Martin.  Then they had an ending dance.  So that lasted awhile.  Next was Shostakovich, which took two short songs to finish.  Then it was time for Swan (<-)Lake!  I think I did a great job, and It was a lot of fun.  When that was over I changed back into my first costume.  I snuck back onstage to look at the dances.  Then before I knew it, it was over.  We went to do our bows, and we did.  We left the stage a little early, but it was ok.  I gave my Flowers to Alex, which was a little awkward because he was looking around at first and didn't see me, but when he did he just said thank you and I ran to the back of the stage with everyone else.  He was kinda holding back the line of people i think, but I wasn't sure.  Anyway, it went well.  After I got back to the cafeteria, I changed into my leo and warm ups to eat.  Some people talked to their parents and stuff.  I brought cookies, and ate my peanut butter fluff sandwich.  After most people talked to their siblings, We set up our lunch place.  I hid the cookies for later, and ate.  Aviva brought sandwiches (peanut butter jelly) and Katelyn brought fruit salad, yummy yummy.  We ate and talked and played truth or dare, although it was more like truth or truth.  We found out we had no warm up class today, so the stage was open to warm yourself up.  It was pretty fun to do, and Alex put on the song FAME for us to warm up to.  We practiced part of swan lake, and then got ready for the next performance.
I got dressed in my illusionist/Jr. Co costume, and we already had our group picture last performance, so we hung out.  I went on and off backstage to take pictures and hang out.  It was pretty fun.  First we had the illusionist after the galaxy dancers.  I helped Clara get ready for it, because she was in the moonbeams (she helped the little kids know what to do) and we started after he changed.  It went great, and I stayed after to watch La Danse Enjouee.  Then I went back to change into my swan lake outfit.  I went backstage and took a couple pictures of Mazurka (the character dance)

    After the people from mazurka put on their Swan Lake costumes and we took a group picture.  We did that during intermission, so when it ended there was the Raymonda people.  Then after another little dance, it was Swan Late, for the last time :'-(.  I stayed and watches some of A child's Garden Of Verses, then went to the other side of the stage (stage right) to grab my camera.  When I went back I found Laura has a hurt knee cap.  In the beginning of Swan Lake it popped out and back in place.  She couldn't put her weight on it, and she got an ice pack and was crying.  I felt so bad for her and everyone gave her candy and sweets.  She left the performance early in a wheelchair.
Other than that I took more pictures backstage, and watched Dark Moon.  It was really cool, and very impressive.  I watched a little tiny bit of Charlotte's web, but i also had to change into my Jr. Co costume .  so I did that, and then we had to get ready for the finale.  The Finale went well, and after that everything was DONE!!  Summer intensive, Here I come!!  I gathered all my stuff, and I went home with Clara.  I was in bed by 11:00 and I was so tired!
Today I still have some liquid eyeliner on my eyes, and my hair is really gross and full of Gel.  I'm so glad its sunday!
