vendredi, novembre 25, 2005 Ramblin' Road Trip - Day 3 of 4 Morning was spent in school, invigilating. Then a huge, mad rush back to church, in order to eat lunch and practise with the kids one last time. Jacob was so relieved to see me, and passed the next class to me in relief. (Thank goodness I decided to hide in Mrs Seow's class to eat and digest my lunch a little before going up to the Music Hall again!)From there, it was just an insane, insane rush to get the Sanctuary ready for the first rehearsal. The programme was changed without me being told, so the children arrived 10 minutes early (according to me, who was going by the old schedule), which was a nightmare. That set us back by half an hour! If they had just given me ten more minutes to get ready... just TEN MORE MINUTES WE WOULD HAVE PROCEEDED AS PLANNED. Instead, someone made a mistake and put down the first reporting time at 1400hrs, instead of the 1410 hrs that I had specified previously. SIGH. Nothing to be done about it, of course. The show must go on. After two rehearsals and about 2 hours of cattle wrangling (it certainly feels like it), the children were supposed to return to class for their lesson recap. They recapped, then came back for a video screening. Then back again to their classes for dinner. But an hour after they were there, the camp commandant told me that the kids would be returning to the Music Hall because the teachers were too stressed out to do anything with the children anymore. So we had to show more movies. Then the parents started arriving. Oh man. Distracting the children, hijacking the children, we had to keep them busy while we prepped the kids. Jacob did a wonderful job as I was finalising details for the performance. We ran through EVERY SINGLE ONE of the RRT songs - and just in time too! By the time we got to the last song, it was time for the show to begin! Going back to the Sanctuary, I realised that SS had appointed herself the emcee for the night. I grabbed a mike from Julian and told her that I would co-emcee with her...and we were off. The concert went off without much of a hitch, and the parents loved it, of course. All their 小宝$贝 - how could they not love the concert? Cleanup lasted the better part of two hours, and then finally - HOME SWEET HOME. [Ramblin' Road Trip - Day 3 of 4] |
