Time for auditions…

We decided to hold the concert on the 4^th of September (Saturday) in our school auditorium. Once this was confirmed we got down to work: publicity, sponsors, sounds, printer, food stalls and lighting all had to be considered. In addition to all this, we had to audition everyone who was interested in participating since several schools had got back to us by then. We opted to have a separate one for OSC students once school starts next year as that was easier to organize. For everyone else, we got the auditorium booked for the 19^th of June (Saturday morning from 9-11) and informed the relevant schools about it. Dylan made us a fantastic poster to put up around all the schools as well so anyone who has not heard of it yet would be able to find out.

Christina, Thishakya and I arrived, eager to see the participants…However only one group turned up…but it had 30 people! The Royal College choir performed for us and they were instantly signed up. We then decided that we should have another audition on the 24^th of July so that the others can have another chance to show up.

And show up they did! The second time we had over 10 performances ranging from singing, by students from OSC, BSC and Gateway, to dancing (Sadini from OSC). I made a note of their names, schools and the approximate duration of their performance(s) to help us with future organizing. Plans were made to have another audition once school starts as well as a rehearsal. Our work’s far from over!
