Day 3 - From challenging Tuesday to wonderful Wednesday

After a successful day of rehearsal and the exhibition with Bellbrook and Centerville High School, today will be our last long day of rehearsal at Centerville.

We spent much of the rehearsal re-enforcing the changes we made yesterday and getting used to the larger performance space.  It has made a huge difference to the show and at times made the 'far away' concept much clearer.  It has also helped us look less cluttered and 'on top of each other'.  Michael was back to focus on refining the very end of the show.  Taking a more structured approach to rehearsal ensured we covered all the areas we needed to and were super efficient with our time.  The guard got much more confident on the bigger floor and things started to feel and look great.  As many of you know we tested the new Facebook tool to do a live broadcast.  It was fantastic to be able to do that for our friends, family and fans back home and across the world and the video has now been watched by 11,300 people!

After an early finish, we headed to Bellbrook for supper at Applebees and a second exhibition performance with Bellbrook HS (Scholastic World), Northview HS (Scholastic World) and Allegoria (Independent Open).  Our performance was MUCH stronger as the members start to get used to the larger floor (and jet lag starting to subside!) and received a great reception.
End of a very satisfying day!

We then headed back to the hotel for some down time before prelims tomorrow.

Tomorrow is a long day as we prepare for our prelims performance at 9.05pm, so a late rise is the plan.  We have a short 3 hour rehearsal and then are being cooked for by some of the mums of our US members.

For all our fans back home, that means a UK performance time of 2.05am Friday morning.  If any of you stay up to watch it, kudos to you and THANK YOU!
