Stick it!
Last night's practice was quite a bit succesfull. The squad members assembled in the practice facility very early and we're able to start practicing early. Something that we could not do for the past several days or week. Maybe because the coordinators now are strict with the log in time. Punctuality is the number one problem of the squad. It was approved that members coming late will be fined P10.00, and every after 30 minutes additional time late would cost another P10.00. Again there are some coming late and they are all f-i-n-e-d, at the moment we got a total fine collectible of P90.00. Hmm.. enough to buy food morsels for the snack. Hehehe.
We tried the "Modified Batangas" pyramid that we failed to complete last time, and surprisingly we hit it this time! We obviously missed to consider momentum and equilibrium last time. Thanks to the hardwork and patience of everyone in the stunt group. Once again we proved to ourselves that thru team effort,and some neurons, we could accomplish anything.
The dance group looked awesome last night. They shaked those booty like there's no tomorrow. They're now practicing in tune with the music. The stunt group still lag behind, we nailed down just 2 pyramids (the 2 most difficult) out of planned 3, and 0 (zero) out of planned 4 stunts. We had practiced all the basics so advancing into intermediate and advanced stunts would hopefully be easy. Phew! 16 days to go before the big day, the excitement is starting to build up!
We got a little problem in our practice area (the freaky and old government vehicle motorpool). The nearest house has a new born baby which is barely a week old and they asked us not to make noise at night. Hmm.. this is tough.. obviously we could not pratice without making noise. We need to clap, jump, shout, count, stomp, and most of all loud music to get pumped up. Anyway we're hoping they'll get used to it (the noise), we're not planning to transfer to another place.
Practice again tonight from 6:00 to 10:00. Hopefully the squad stick to the same focus it did last night.The concern tonight will be the uniforms. We don't want to repeat the disaster we had last year so this time we need to start flexing those tape measure and crank up the tailor to start hitting the sewing machine. Three additional ladies (1 returning, 2 new) joined us and we have now 17 ladies and 17 gents in the squad. We need to hit 38 so still we need applicants.
