I dont think those are in there. By the way, I forgot to mention that most of us will be lip synching and some of us will really be singing. Rehearsals start TOMORROW. Im SOO EXCITED!

StrudelBone · 03-11-2002, 09:24 PM

First rehearsal was today. It was awesome. We got our dancing partners this morning and practiced the Jitterbug for about a half an hour this morning. That dance is SOO fun. We did the rest of practice after school. We make our entrance to the song At The Hop. We all come from different directions in the audience and meet up with our partners and start the Jitterbug. Then we go upstage and do the Jitterbug, Twist, Locomotion, or Swim. I'll tell ya about some more later.

StrudelBone · 03-26-2002, 08:34 PM

The play is next week. It is gonna be soo fun. I lip synch Wake Up Little Susie and Sheila. I might do another one but I dunno yet.
