Blue company was practicing drills in small groups to be performed where we are stationed, and in our small groups we were given the chance to take a look at where we will be stationed throughout the course of the show. I don't want to say too much at this point for the people who intend to come and see the show but where I and the rest of Blue company are stationed is quite an experience in itself. With only four days remaining until our first performance evening (next Monday,) tensions are beginning to rise, collars are beginning to heat up and my legs are beginning to ache.
At this point the challenge is sticking with it. The temptation to do 'just enough' is really high at the moment and I refuse to bow to it, and have already started my extra curricular research. I would say one difficult aspect of today was communicating and coordinating with other people in my group over the maneuvers we will try while we are at our stations. It would look daft if we were just to stand still, and perhaps it would be better for our over all experience to have at least some amount of pre-arranged choreographed maneuver we can do while it is our time to shine. But communicating your ideas to twelve people who all have their own ideas is difficult, especially when those people are as close to tired as you are, and have already shown signs that their enthusiasm has gone AWOL (see? now that's topical!)
All in all I would say it worked out and to be honest, I am really glad it did. Tomorrow will probably be starting all over again with our routines considering we changed groups at the end of yesterdays session, chances are it will probably be a lot like today. I am going to get lots of rest, make sure I have a good lunch prepared to take with me tomorrow and give it my all, in fact I will let the army be my guide on this one, its all or nothing for me and to hell with my tired little legs!
