Hi Everyone!
Week three was marked by my confirmation as 1 of 2 bass players in the UWP Band! I will be playing act 2 of the show. Im the meantime, I will spend the next few weeks learning vocals and dances for act 1, as well as Act 1 of bass in case the other bass player gets sick.
Over the weekend I went to JumpStreet with my host family. This place had wall-to-wall trampolines (fantastic workout!). Also trampoline dodgeball, which I highly recommend.
Our show director arrived this week, and the rest of the cast has been working on blocking with her. The band joins the cast on Tuesday to begin full run throughs. We did a workshop on culture shock and how to deal with adapting to/living with other cultures. I think I'm more prepared now but I know culture shock will still come and go. The rest of the week was spent with the band practicing the music, as well as at my host house.
I'm definitely not as nervous as last week, mostly due to the fact that I now know what I have to work on. I still have a lot on my plate, but I know I can do it. I'm so excited to get out on the road :-)
I'll probably do a mid-week update one dress rehearsals are underway. Until then, stay cool yo.
