My best Heaven

It was a good solid rehearsal on monday night, taking the usual format of run-through, followed by pick-ups for the chorus.

Apparently my "Heaven on their minds" was the best I have sung it, which was nice to hear. I've always felt that this has been glossed over a bit previously, as it leads straight into "What's the Buzz?" and everyone is focussing on getting ready for that. So it was good to get some positive feedback.

Everything mostly went well...Pete was in fine voice, and remembered his words(!).

It was good to hear Steve having just enough voice to sing his song. It was still little more than a whisper, but at least it's progress. I really hope he gets better by Tuesday.

I spent the night bare-foot as that's how I'll be for the performance... I hope the stage floor is warmer than the floor of the Memorial Hall - my feet were frozen!

The costumes are arriving tonight, along with the band (complete with the 3 posh keyboards!) so we get to collect our costumes, then we'll do a run-though with the band, which should be great.

I can't beleive it's less than a week to go now. This has been by life for the last 6 months and in a few days it will all be over. It's going to be pretty wierd...

Hi Fran,
Thanks for your message. Monday was a good night - it all seemed to come together really well. Last night was a bit more dodgy! It's so hard singing with the band - as you say it takes some getting used to. I thought it all went pretty well though, considering. And mostly the costumes all looked great. No too sure about the catsuit! It seemed to go down well though :o)
Don't worry, we'll be well ready by Tuesday.
See ya Sunday,
Richard
