AIDA - A word from the director

Well I thought i would say a few words on the blog to update everyone how things are going with AIDA.

It seems every rehearsal we are climbing a mountain with songs harmonies and dance routines, however, the cast are making it look and sound incredibly easy.
Johnathon and Lesley have been doing an excellent job of making our ensemble sound tight and extremely well trained on every harmony. 
Sophia is doing an absolutely sterling job of choreographing some very intricate routines, which is something that no-one should miss.

We have got an excellent group feeling going on at each rehearsal. Working with this group of such dedicated people is always fun. We started with workshops to get everyone connected and break the ice with the ever increasing new members. The enthusiasm oozes and at times its difficult to hear myself speak over the laughter and fun we are all having, whilst creating our show. We also want to thank our lovely Tea Ladies for keeping everyone happy with the lashings of tea and biscuits....I just cant resist one of Hazels custard creams!

For anyone that has not heard of AIDA before, it WILL be foolish to miss it. It has a soundtrack recreated by ELTON JOHN & some lyrics penned by TIM RICE to make this piece a family friendly and emotional score.

Amateur theatre in this area has lots to be proud for. There is an extremely high standard that comes from lots of different societies and I feel privileged to be involved and able to indulge in.
Recently I have been to see some excellent productions which has saved me a fortune in going to London to watch quality shows.
Well done to everyone involved....We all need bums on seats so please spread the word and come to watch.

We would love to welcome you to AIDA. It will open up new songs that will appeal to everyone, weather it be for audition pieces or ensemble singing in choral groups.

So from BLODS new premises @ manor barn, I'll sign off by saying: 

We are by no way finished our show and it has got lots of finishing touches, songs to learn and dances to dance...However, we are ahead of schedule and i look forward to each rehearsal. If you are a cast member reading, keep up the good work .... If you shall be coming to watch BUY A TICKET NOW!!


Thanks for reading.
