The Minis started last night, and though we were missing at least one singer I think their first rehearsal went well! We introduced several of their songs, had a puppet show to teach them their goodbye song, and played London Bridge and The Old Grey Cat. Mostly new faces in the Minis so far since a lot of them bumped up to Littles this year.
Speaking of the Littles, they basically ran through their show last night, with the helpers reading all the acting lines and CM leading the songs we've already learned in between. It's possible the helpers may end up reading some of the pirate lines in the show, since we have fewer Littles than the script anticipated...
CC started off with me telling the singers what their speaking roles will be and then stumbling through the hat and cane routine we started on last time while CM delivered her report at the parents meeting. Thanks to Josephine for helping me through that. Once CM returned, we ran through some of the other songs and tried a few scenes.
The Youth staged two more scenes and reviewed the ones from last time (thanks to Kirkland for helping with review!) and they reviewed "Holiday Lights", "The Sleigh", and a few other songs.
Next week we should have more Minis, and hopefully we'll have the last of the Youth binder stickers ready.
