Have you heard about the fantastic Noah production St Paul's has been learning for the past 6 weeks? At the very start of the 6 weeks, we were all given parts to play. The penguins that were picked were the best dancers and I hoped that I would be one, and, astonishingly, I was picked to be a penguin. I was so overwhelmed with joy when I found out. We all had to practise almost everyday of the six weeks.
After about three or four weeks, I found out that I was also going to be a butterfly with Brogan. Each day, when we practised, we learnt our lines - songs and dances - better than the first day.
The week before the show, we had a dress rehearsal. All the costumes fitted everyone and, when I wore my costume, it got very warm. Some people had to get makeup or facepaint. I was one of the people to get makeup on.
On Tuesday, the day before the big night, we had another dress rehearsal.
The next night, I got dressed into my penguin costume and then all the penguins were taken to the back of the hall to wait for the neighbours to finish their dance.
After the neighbours dance, the penguins had to slowly waddle to the stage to give Ethan and Krystle enough time to say their lines.
The penguin dance started off as if it was going to be cute and sweet, but, instead, it went kind of hip hoppy.
After that, we did animal roll call, then we had to go off stage. Brogen and I had to go and get our makeup on while we waited for after half time. We also had to get a blue cloth ready. During two songs, we had to make waves.
At the very end, some other people and I had to sing a rainbow song and, at the end of the song, a big rainbow appeared.
At the grand finale, we sang four songs and then everybody on stage and in the audience cheered and clapped like crazy.
