Festival Day 2 - 9th March !

2nd day was a rush ! We got to the QEH at 9:00 to get the equipments and everything out by 9:30 because there was another festival for women at the SouthBank so we didnt have enough to waste messing around and wasting time. This time we had more to showcase because we had the Yr11 Steel Pans with us to play ''Colonial Mentality'', which I joined them in playing and so did Buki (from the diploma group alongside me). All performances went well in the morning but there were quite few fallouts and minor quarrels. Not every one were doing what they were supposed to be doing. The production team had problems where they didnt know who was introducing an act throughout the day. We used the same rota again for the day. WE had the Yr11 Steel Pans playing "Colonial Mentality" at the end of the day. There was also a Yr9 live drama performance. From the look of the audience the didnt enjoy it the first time so some of the diploma students gave the performers some pointers on how they could make the performance more interesting so they could get good reviews and even a clap... After a few more performances the live drama was much appreciated by the audience. Everything else was repeated twice including the music as usual. At the end of the day everything was nicely packed away and put in the moving van to return to the school. WE all gathered together and had a good rest and we were told to write everythng down that we did throughout the 2days of the festival so we know what to do when we come back.
