The first night of production

Yesterday we performed for the first time. Jared was Maui and he did very well but he forgot some of his lines. I think the crowd really liked ours because they clapped very loudly at the end. My dance that I made up with Tiaana and William went very well. The strobe light was on while we were doing it. It gave it a cool effect. I was very excited about performing but when I got on the stage I started to get really nervous and I had sweaty hands. Before we went on stage I went to room 5 to get my moko on and have my glitter on. After that I went to room 10 with my friend and I put my  dress on. We got white alice bands to put around our heads. The dancers got white gloves that glow in the dark when Mr Ford puts a special light on us. We also wore  different feathers to put in our bun. I felt like a princess when I put on the long white gloves. The only thing was was that the gloves keep slipping down. I got my makeup done by Mrs Hardaker.  She put mascara on me and a bit of eyeliner.  She did this to Tiaana and Kiana too. I really enjoyed the first night but……………. I was really tired too.

 

Rosette

Last sunday I did a rosette which is when you dance then get a ribbon for it. I do lyrical and jazz this is my jazz dance and my ribbons that I got.

Will I complete it?

Whew, my wheels are sore. I get to rest now. Ohh, but my owner is racing me down a really hard track in a moment. I should just run away. Wait I can’t because I’m a bike and I need someone to ride me so I can actually get away. I’m getting a headache from even thinking about it. Oh and did I mention that my owner is a professional bike rider? But one of my reliefs is that he soooo... won’t be flipping me at all. Thats my sarcastic side, do you like it? Ha...ha…Oh... okay. I better harden up other wise if he loses he might blame everything on me and believe me it is not a good sight.

I close my handles and wait for Brook my owner. I’m waiting, ok I’m getting bored. All of a sudden my arms start to turn. Were off. I can hear the crowd cheering for me. “Brook Brook” yelled the fans. “Oh,” I sighed there cheering for Brook. I’m the one thats doing most of the work here any way. I can see sharp corners, sharp corners and guess what, more sharp corners. As I come round one of the sharp corners I can see lots of trees that I could crash into and poles that I could smash into. Oh here is going to be something that will turn into a nightmare.

The jump was up next. I hold my breath to prevent screaming. Wait I don’t have a breath, what am I thinking? ok I probably just need to settle down. I should just look down at the ground. OMG I’m going up. It must be the jump ahh I close my eyes. I shouldn’t be doing this I yell wait I should because I’m a bike Ahh I need to focus now because I could die right now. I,ve landed yay but have i survived is the question? Yes I have I hear cheering and many other thing I am a surviving bike.

The Beep test!!!!!!!

Today we did a beep test wich is when we run 20 metres and we have to beat the beep. The beep would go for about 20 secounds and we would have run 20 metres. The time becomes smaller and smaller every 20 metres.

I thought I did very well at the beep test my score was 5.1.  But I still want to improve. It was hard.
