I remember very clearly as I longingly watched last year’s Transition Year students rehearsing for their musical! I truly couldn’t wait until the day that we could commence our musical, and today that day has finally come! The Musical Workshop was just an introduction to the musical, so the teachers could get a sense of our level of singing and dancing. My form was the last group to do the musical workshop, and I had already heard lots of positive feedback from the other forms! We entered the Halla Nua, all full of energy after our lunch break. First of all we did an energetic dance routine together. It was hilarious to see everyone attempt at doing the moves, and after about the 5th time we started to get the hang of it! I really enjoyed this, as everyone was really into it. It was clear that everyone was having fun and no one was being judged or judging. People tripped over each other, some couldn’t stop giggling, and others looked like they were born dancing! After about half an hour of dancing Mrs Olohan arrived. We were then split up into two groups, one group consisting of boys, the other of girls. We were also reminded numerous times that not much was expected from us from the first rehearsal and we would certainly not be judged based on our first day! The song we were given to sing was ‘Summer Loving’ from the musical ‘Grease’. First we sang it as a group, boys together and then girls together. It was amusing to hear people sing who I had never heard sing before, and I was surprised by the hidden talent of some people! Then one girl and one boy had to sing together. I had to sing first with Luke, it went alright! I assume singing in front of your group of friends gets easier over time.
In conclusion I immensely enjoyed my first taste of the musical, although it is still another two months until we are announced what our musical is! I genuinely cannot wait to rehearse and perform with my year!
