Back at School...Again

The past few days have been busy, queuing lights with Mr. Larochelle, distributing posters, and more. We have been getting the auditorium ready to use for our performance, but that always comes with a few challenges.

1. We have to be on campus. While it's kind of nice to spend a little more time in Hawken's hallowed halls, it can feel kind of confined spending the majority of our time working in the dressing room.
2. Sharing the space. The auditorium is prime real estate during intensives, so we have had to compete for time during the school day. There is a freshman Greek Theater intensive where several groups are constantly jockeying for stage time. Luckily, working with Mr. Larochelle has gotten us priority for our lighting time. We finished queuing lights this afternoon, and it felt like quite the accomplishment. I am looking forward to our first onstage rehearsal tonight.
3. Reserving the space: In order to use the auditorium after school hours we have to reserve the space through Cheryl. This has actually gone very well, but we have to be careful to clean up very well, because there is an event tomorrow morning.

Largely, these challenges have turned out fine, and we are making excellent headway on all of our goals.
