Day 1120: Dance rehearsal

The cast is learning the big production number from Anything Goes.  Forty kids in tap shoes makes quite a racket, but it was wonderful to watch.  I'm surprised how well they are doing after just a few rehearsals.  We're short on tap shoes for the boys, but new ones will arrive soon.  We spent hours meeting with Ben to find out what we need for each character.  Wow!  So many costumes! The cast is 57 and each of them will need at least two costumes, plus accessories.  A few of the leads will require as many as four or five costumes.

Nancy's keys finally arrived at her son's house late yesterday and she drove ten hours straight to get home today.  What a pain it is to replace all the things a lady's purse holds.

I spent a few more hours on the four day hike chapter and then watched the 2013 video. That one is my favorite.  The music placement was perfect.  I had great video footage and wonderful still photos. Ten people helped me with the stills so that made a huge difference.  I want more people to contribute to the photos  this year to get the varied perspectives. Having the new go pro camera will add a lot of life to the video.  I think that chapter will require two more full days to complete, but not tomorrow.  Instead, I'm hosting Penelope and then we're going to Shea's to see the Motown musical.
