Nowadays

Hello.

Sadly, last week I was absent from college and rehearsals as my Grandpa passed away at the weekend.

Here is my update of this week and the fundraising cabaret.

The fundraising cabaret for PAOS was very successful. I was asked on the day if I would also do a duet at the cabaret as well as my solo. I sang "Nowadays" from "Chicago" with Holly Stanford. It sounded really good and I am happy with the way we managed to pull it off after only two run throughs. My solo performance went well also, I did make a couple of mistakes but covered them successfully. I felt that my stage presence was good and I portrayed the emotions in the song. We raised about £500 for our production of Sweeney Todd at this event.

This week I started researching musician websites in ICT to get ideas for my own website. I plan to make up a mood board of my favourites to inspire me.

Band rehearsal was productive this week, we have all decided what song we want to perform at Fat Sams and we made a start on all of them. We are lacking a drummer in our band and so we are going to be doing an acoustic set. I was happy with this as the song I had chosen is acoustic, "Trust" by Bitter Ruin.

Today we had our music history exam. I think it went ok, I passed the mock test and had revised quite a bit and so I went in pretty confident.

I have finished plotting the bare bones structure of my website and have now created a time plan so that I can start ticking things off and getting on my way towards completing it by the deadline (18th April).
