Hey everyone! :)
So today is April 11th and yesterday was Sunday 10th of April the day of our regional final in aldershot, 3 shows in one day we were in the second show which consisted of 13 talented acts like CMG, Emily Denton, India Thorpe, Munkinpure and many more.
We arrived in two cars plus 1 more for our make up artist Miss Emily Mcmorrow who nearly didnt make it because of car troubles :(...... Me (Gemma) char and JP (dancing man) came in one car and Melody and Shaz in the other. Sat on the field opposite tearing up some chicken once we were fed we headed on up to register our presence had a short briefing and started with the make up and squeezing some practise in between. when we had sound check we discovered there were only 2 wireless mikes shock horror!! our choreography started to scare me as we couldnt do what was planned without tripping each other up! so the plan was to dance on the spot hehehe. So everything was happening really quickly loads of our family arrived and we got to spy them before we had to go hide back stage, Which was a great boost all that support we had. In total id say we had a little over 60 people come and support us not bad going ay hehe.........
........So now backstage and we were yes u guessed it once again last to perform so he had 80 minutes to wait nerve racking or what.........We got changed made final lipstick touch ups :) then headed to the mini loos to get one last practise in, yes that is how we roll!!!! So one by one acts dissappeared upstairs then reappeared with grins looking more relaxed after having done there piece. so it came to us we had to shimmey on upstairs in our dresses supplied by Miss Hayley Scott who wangled them as a loan from Elise Ryan :). So there we are waiting behind the curtain for our time to shine and then it was the presenter called our name and we took to the stage and then all of a sudden we were going off again. HA well thats what it felt like we done our performance it went well we were all ecstatic and got large screams from the audience. We sang Aswaad- Shine which rolled seamlessly into our song called the light. Obviously theres always room for improvement we have had some good constructive criticism and just in general good remarks :D. So anyway this was the scariest part waiting behind the curtains to see if they call our name as one of the top five acts who are going through to area finals. So the first name came....2nd name, 3rd, 4th and fifth and we didnt hear our name :(...........Then it was the the next three acts called one act would go through so 2 acts were called and ours was the last to be called talk about suspense!!!!! So there we were 2 other acts beside us and they called THE ROULETTZ and all you heard was our squeels haha all the other acts were quite calm and collective and there was us screaming in our own lil roulettz world hehe.
So that is your full incite to what our day was like i hope you enjoyed it LOL but yes 1 performance away from performing at the o2 ay woooohhooooooo!!!!! our performnace for Area Finals is Saturday 21st May @ Portsmouth guildhall so be there or be oblong!!!
