Today's lesson, we were missing one of our members again which means we just had to rehearse to the best of our ability. We focused on adding ore choreography to our piece and making everything look strong. Also, we started to think about the movements that we could do in our solo sections and what would work for all members.
We got up to my solo section which meant we had to think of movements what went around me. We decided that for this section we should use props as it would work effectively with what i was singing. I decided not to have much choreography whilst i was singing because i want to show off my characterisation throughout the song and show that i can be a big character. Acting is my weakest element which means i know i have to work on it even more.
As a group, we said that we feel like next lesson we need to work on the musicality of the song as at the minute we are focusing on the movements and the singing.

Lesson 5
In today's lesson, we were told that we were going to perform what we had already done in front of a small audience so that we could get feedback which we could then go off and work on. We started just by running through the song with movements a couple of times so we could remind ourselves what we had done. We all felt quite confident with what we had done. So far, i think that we have all worked well as a group and we all have been able to listen to other peoples opinions and what they think we should do and we have had no disagreements.
Halfway through the lesson, we performed our piece to other members of our class so that they could see what we had done so far. They said that we all look like we know what we are doing and starting to look and sound confident with it. We watched another group we had finished their piece which made us worry a bit as we hadn't finished ours yet and we feel like we need too.

Lesson 4
Today was our music lesson. In today's lesson, we decided that we need to focus on recapping what we had done in the previous lesson and teach the person who we had missing what we had done. You could see that we were starting to get more confident within our piece as we started to make our moves bigger. We started with singing through the whole song all together.
In the middle of the lesson, we got asked if we could leave the room so other people could rehearse which then made it hard for us to rehearse. So, in this time in which we had left we decided that we could all choose which solo sections we would like to do and sing the sections which would suit our voice best. We decided as a group that we should all sing the chorus's together as we would be able to put some harmonies in which would make our singing sound even stronger.
The section in which i am singing is,
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh
Look at my hair
What "do" can compare with mine today?
Oh, oh, oh,
I've got my hairspray and radio
I'm ready to go
I feel confident with this singing section because i know all the words to it and i think i can show of my characterisation really well within this piece and i will really be able to over act it like Tracy does in the musical.
Lesson 3
In today's lesson, we were missing one person from our group which sometimes makes it difficult for us to rehearse it all. We did our best and rehearsed as much as we could. In this lesson, we focused on learning all the words and making sure we knew the timings throughout the song. In the last lesson, we worked on choreography some of the moves at the beginning so we went through these in this lesson. We still haven't been able to decided who is singing what part as a solo but we still couldn't make this decision today as we was missing someone.
To start rehearsing, we used the original track a couple of times which has Tracy singing in it so we could feel more confident with it. After that, we used the backing track so we could get used to singing with no one behind us and having to know it all. To help us out, i printed the lyrics off for us all so that we could use them if needed. Luckily, i knew most of the words to this song before we started rehearsing it which helps me out a lot.
With the dance moves, we decided that some of the moves should be in unison and some should be in cannon. We want to show our individual characters throughout the piece.
