Opening Night!

Last night was opening night for my school play "A Night at the Wax Museum." We actually didn't mess up too terribly... So let's just go over what I saw that happened...

• I tripped on stage (Yes I was in heels!). It was okay-ish since I was being chased and it sort of looked real... I knew I hated those shoes for a reason! 
• Someone stole my solo for one of the songs... the very same person I told that solo meant SOLO as in ALONE... Oh well. I yelled at him afterwards. Hey a girl has gotta stand up to those guys... well especially when they're bossy, two grades younger, much shorter, and tend to fart on stage.
• The same person was in my way I was trying to get to the other side of stage to go on for the next scene. Well my dad made the set and I guess they didn't realize that in a black out, you can't see the stands of the set that happens to be on wheels... Well I tripped on that, and moved it just an inch or so, but thanks to the blackout, no one saw!
• For the opening number, some of us start in the audience, well the late comers really can't see us and someone kicked me and someone else tripped over me and another girl was knocked into too (but it was her sister so it didn't count!)
• I missed one of my lines, but so did everyone else that repeats the same word so it wasn't really my fault since I'm the last one to say it
• I missed one of my lines, but it was an exit line that made absolutely no sense.

Now for something that almost scared me...

At the end of the opening number, everyone falls and then about four of us get back up to do heel stretches, arm-strongs, and scorpions. It looked really cool... and then I felt my leg stretch in an arm strong really far to the point where it was straight. Your leg really isn't supposed to do that... Well after the song, someone who stood behind me told me it looked really cool. I tried to do it again straight, and it just wasn't working! Wow. 

Okay for all you who aren't familiar with cheerleading moves... here's some random pictures to give you an idea:

A scorpian

A heel stretch



I couldn't find any pictures of an armstrong (well that's what WE call it...)
But it's basically holding one foot in the crook of your elbow (then moved into your hand) and the other arm is making a muscle or something like that. It's almost like a scale....

Well anyway, we've got our second show tonight and then our cast party! I hope I won't mess up too badly this time...
