Concert is over
That's one hall activity for the year completed :( It means I now have 4 extra hours of free time every night, but I think I'll miss all the fun we had building all those sets from scratch. The Swingers boards, the beds, photoframes, futuristic looking tables, all built from scratch using wooden planks and metal bars. The hours spent cutting CDs into identical little rectangles, then pasting them onto the beds one by one. Measuring and cutting out large posters into identical sizes, then making photo frames for them. Building the 7 metre long Swingers board, sawing out the letters one by one, painting, outlining, wiring, tying all the light ropes to the board, all that work over the past 2 months. It was a lot of fun, although it took up a lot of time. Well done group 1 :)
The concert itself was great. All the seniors were blown away by it, they said it was one of the best productions in RH history. The music was very nice too, and there was a lot more of it compared to previous year's concerts. Heard that many were moved to tears by the scene near the end where Lisa left Howard. All this wouldn't have been possible without everyone working together. Seeing all that hard work over the past 2 months culminate into a spectacular performance is an experience that can't be put into words, but now I know what the seniors meant when they told us to join concert and experience the magic.
I ended up sleeping at 4am this morning, although the show ended at around 1040pm. We had to clear all the stuff out of UCC, that meant dismantling all the movable platforms, because they can't fit through the door. After we moved everything back to hall, we had take it all apart and move it into the sets room. There's now quite a lot of dismantled stuff there, waiting for the float people next year, haha. After packing up, we had a very long session where all the concert committee people thanked everyone else. It's kind of sad knowing that I won't be moving the sets around again, or hearing the songs sung live. It's an experience that can't be fully described here, but I have no regrets joining sets.
Well, less than 1 month to the final exams. Time to go study surface integrals, whatever those are.
