I feel the show itself went really well, I think we all performed really well.  There lots of bumps along the way, with only three and a half weeks to put together a show.

I felt at first we all didn’t really work too hard thinking we had plenty of time until the first performance, I felt we all weren’t that motivated when put in a room on our own. When we were working with Marc we would all work and try hard because I felt that there was a bit more pressure with him telling us we didn’t have time just to sit about and wait for him to help us. I felt that all of the groups did get on well together and we did work well together, one group in particular was the group that did Promises by Nero because we were put in a room by ourselves and we worked hard to get the song perfect, we went through the song section by section until we all knew what we were doing because we were so focused we got the song finished and ready to put on the stage that day. I think this show that when we are actually 100% focused we can get the work down so much more quickly than we actually did. If we had worked like this all the time I think we could have done a lot more songs than we actually did on the night. I feel also with the whole group we had problems with communication, ones that should be left outside of us rehearsing, I felt it affected the group dynamic and how we used our rehearsal time.

I think my personal strengths were that I feel I made sure I knew my parts, such as learning lyrics, I also helped with people learning harmonies too in the songs I was in. I think this helped with learning the song because hopefully it gave other people motivation if other people were learning their parts. I feel I let my personal problems outside of college affect the way I worked, I think it slowed me and the group down because I was letting unimportant things affect me. I now know that I should not let this affect my work because that was the most important thing. I also think I should have let my fear of looking stupid get in the way because I was making such a fuss it made it worse and kill the atmosphere.

I feel the actual nights, even though there were a few glitches on the nights it was such fun and the atmosphere really got all of us coming out of our shells on stage. I really felt that in the songs where I was lead I gave it my all, and even if I did look stupid I don’t regret any of the things I did on stage. I think I really came out of my shell for Promises all the energy I got from the crowd really helped and even though I was told I have to show what I was going to do on the night in rehearsal it really came together on the night. I think everyone did so well, everyone from what I saw was really enjoying themselves and I’m really proud of everyone.
