Dress Rehearsal Yesterday, Concert Tomorrow!

Things really are hotting up! Yesterday after work the majority of the Pink Singers trooped back to our old hunting rounds, the Royal Academy of Music, for our dress rehearsal in advance of the concert on Saturday. It was a chance for us to fine tune the choreography, especially in the context of the risers on the stage, and for the soloists to check out their projection as well. Thankfully nothing was disastrous, although there was much which was improved. Certainly America and There Is Nothing Like A Dame felt better for having run through it on stage.

I also took quite a few photos, with the intention of adding to our collection of publicity shots. The lighting in the Duke's Hall is good, but still rather dim by photography standards, and because we actually move around a lot on stage, it was difficult to avoid blurring (example above). I have tried to use a flash before, but the flash on my camera is too feeble to fill the hall and I end up getting dark, underexposed shots. Anyway, while most of the photos weren't horrible, it might be an idea next time for us to pose rather than dance our way through the photo shoot!

The show starts at 7.30pm at the Royal Academy of Music. Get your tickets now: we're going to have fun and I know you will too!
