Today we practiced Hotel California. We are having performance next Monday for the music assembly. We just played the whole song few times and check the sound balance.
We past the prom audition. We played Hotel California on the audition but we might play I Can Wait Forever for prom because the song suits more for the prom's atmosphere and everyone in the band gets to play.

Musical "Cinderella"
The performance was on the 4th, 5th and 6th of December.
This musical is a British Pantomime. It contains a lot of comedies and audiences were involved in many scenes.
I was actually worried about the performance because we had only practiced the whole show once before the real performance. But all three performances went really well and the reaction of the audiences was really good too. It was a really successful performance.
I didn't get any scores for the musics that we played, only the lyrics with chords on it. So I had to listen to the actual song and figure out my own part by myself. And the musics contained lots of finger plucking on clean guitar sound which I usually don't play, so it was a good opportunity to learn these things. And guitar is usually one of the main instruments in the rock band but not in the musical so I also learned how to control myself not to emphasis my sound too much. It was a good experience.

Musical 7
Musical practices on the 1st and 3rd.
1st:
We had practice in the MPH which is the actual performance place. We just checked all the music ques so that all the musicians know where to come in and stop. We didn't get to go through the whole thing this day but we kind of got the idea of how the show supposed to go.
3rd:
It was a whole day rehearsal from 8am to 6pm. We started rehearsing from where we stopped on Monday and then went through the whole thing again. This time, all the actors wore their costumes and we had most of the equipment on the stage. This was the first and the last rehearsal that we ran the whole show without stopping.

Chamber Orchestra 5(2/12)
We practiced the song that we are going to play with the choirs on the music assembly which is hold on 15th of December first, then moved on to the Christmas songs. Our performance is on 11th of December.
I'm playing the drums but I don't have any scores for drum so I have to figure out by myself and memorize them.
We only have one more rehearsal before the performance, hope we will do well.

Musical 6
The musical practices on the 24th 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th.
We have already covered all the songs for the entire musical so we had rehearsals with the singers. We just went through all the songs over the week and made some additional notes and made them slightly better and perfect so that we can play them without any problems.
The only thing to do is to rehears the whole musical in one go and see how it goes. We are having whole day rehearsal on Wednesday (3/12).
