Night Number One
The excitement is running through the air, I can feel it running up my spine. It is going around everyone.
Well tonight is our first performance in front of a live audience. I am so excited, I have all of my costumes here in room 3. All of the Kapa Haka group are playing hand games, getting their makeup done. Then Mali our instructor and Teeps the guitar player walk in and say that they could hear us from the hall, which is bad because our audience were entering the hall. I was so eager to start. Then it was time. Time to line up outside in the cold, with wet puddles and the slight sign of grey rain clouds in the night sky. My feet were frozen, my toes were like icicles. As for the rest of the group, I think they were cold to. Then the door opened all I could think of was. “ Time to go on stage. “ But sadly no we were getting told off for being so loud. Then at long last the door swung open and nearly hit me in the face. It was time. Our time to shine in front of everyone. Once we had gone through our three songs and one Haka, we left the stage to get into our next costumes. I had to get into my white top and black shorts, with makeup all ready for my Locomotion dance and wearable arts. So here I am  waiting behind the curtain. Then it was the Green Is Gold play. They finished with a rap/song. That was when all of the wearable arts people went to go and get changed into our costumes. Then after waiting for the third dance group, we all entered the back of the hall ready to ‘ strut our style ‘ down the aisle and around the stage. It was so much fun showing off my costume to the audience. Next I had to take my wearable arts costume off. Then Erin and Thea come rushing in to make sure that Thea can get dressed and get all of her makeup on ready for our Locomotion dance. Once Thea was dressed and had all of her makeup on we were out the door rushing over to the door that is behind the curtain. Just as we arrive we had about 3 minutes until we were on. Doing Locomotion was awesome, the group had so much fun. Then Erin, Thea and I all run off and get our leggings and Rock ‘n’ Roll skirts on already for our time to boogie on stage. Wow, I was getting tired by the time we were arriving at the door ‘ AGAIN. ‘ Now that we are doing our Rock ‘n’ Roll in front of everyone with the choir singing all over the place, I think that I am almost ready to call it a night. But sadly no I still have choir number two that I have to perform in and I also have another three nights. Along with the rest of team 5 students I have a feeling that we are very excited to finally have this show up and running, but by the end of the week I am sure that we are going to be very, very, VERY tired!

Dress Rehearsals

My funny face, a Rock 'n' Roll move went very wrong there!

This is in front of the Host desk.

Can't you just see how much fun we have in rehearsals!

Here is the classes P.M.I! Plus+ Minus= And Interesting.

Mistakes Happen
Today we had a dress rehearsal and as you can probably see in the picture above. I did a mistake in one of the moves in Rock ‘n’ Roll. My face looks so funny. I did not realise that Kharn the photographer clicked the camera button just as I did that face.
That is all for today but I will tell you much more about the day of the big show!


The Time Has Come
Well today was a dress rehearsal. It was so much fun. It was so amazing and very interesting to see all of the different costumes and makeup that the senior school were wearing. We all had a great time and I know that we all can’t wait for the show tonight. Year sixes have never done a production so we are all very eager to get this one on the road. The stage is all set and the students are ready for a very busy week. As the saying goes “ Busy Little Bumble Bees.“
I think the dress rehearsal went very well.
That is all for now, I will definitely come back tomorrow and tell you about tonight's big show!

Parkvale Live Production Diary

The Creation
Hello I am Felicity and today I found out that I was going to be in Wearable Arts for the senior production. “Parkvale Live. “ All that was going around in my head was what should I do for wearable arts. In about 10 minutes I had made my mind up. I was going to do a super hero cape, made from fabric. With a line of 3 chippie packets down the middle. On each side is fruit burst wrappers. They are only stapled on the top so then they can flick up like feathers on a bird. On the bottom half my name ( Flossie ) is painted with the Olympics. Blue, Red, Black, Green, Yellow. When I was at home and bored I decided to add some more fruit burst wrappers down below on the outline that was left bare at the bottom. I also thought that I better add a mask to make me look like a superhero.

Planning The Event
Today all of the senior school went to the hall to discuss more about the production and what is going to happen. As we were leaving the hall Erin ran up to me and asked me if I wanted to do Rock ‘n’ Roll with Tyrin while choir one sings “We Go Together “ I said sure. So now I am doing Choir, Kapa Haka, Wearable Arts and Rock ‘n’ Roll in the Parkvale Live Production.

A Little Tweak Here & A Little Tweak There
Today was so cool. We performed the whole production in front of the team 5 students and teachers. It was a long wait for it to finish, but it was spectacular, I love how the teachers have put it together. So Thank you teachers you have made this production AWESOME. I had Kapa Haka first up then I had Wearable Arts, I then had Rock ‘n’ Roll with Erin & Regan, Thea & Josh and me & Tyrin. After we had Rock ‘n’ Roll Erin and I had to go and sing for the small Choir. After that we were done. The reason why the day went for ever, is because we had to do fix ups and stops every now and then. I can’t wait till the end of the week where we will have a full dress rehearsal before the Monday night show in front of our family and friends.

Chilling Out Helping Others ( Day 4 )
Today we had to finish our Wearable Art designs. I had already finished it so I had to help the rest of the group. While we were doing this the other seniors were doing a bit of a run through and practise on stage without some of the group.  

But Wait There's More
Today we had a run through of the whole Production. We only had the odd stop to say something that had to happen. We started from the very first act to the very last one. Then once we had finished and we were back in class, once again Erin came up to me to ask if I were able to do a dance with Thea, Olivia and herself for Emily and Raiha, in the background of them singing “Locomotion.” Our dance was made up in 15 minutes. The dance has got some pretty cool moves in it. It is funny and AWESOME.

The End Is Near
Today we did another run through of the whole production. It was lots of fun and it was Thea, Erin, Olivia and my first time performing our dance in front of the senior school and the teachers. It was fun, but after the production was finished we had a lot of practise to do. We also had Kapa Haka practise today in the afternoon. I even had Choir practise after the bell rang. We did great work with our practising.

Up The Top Is My Mask And Below That Is My  Super Hero Cape!

This is my Rock 'n' Roll Outfit!
