Hello my dudes it is I, your choreographer, with a very important video link! Couple things before the youtube link: 1. This video is unlisted, which means that anyone who has the link can watch it, but it wont show up on my channel if you go straight there. 2. I will have videos for every song we do so I can have a reference and also for you to watch. (and probably cringe a bit. i know i do.) So always come back to this thread if you need to find them! I'll just keep adding replies to this thread with more youtube links. 3. Keep these videos with just the cast. If someone needs the link go ahead and send it, but please do not share to social media as it is not only my work, but these are not meant for anyone but us. 4. If you would like to see what shows we have done in the past 4 years, go check my channel. There is recordings for all the shows we have done since 2014 (my freshman year) along with end of the year slideshows, promotional videos I made and some other fun treats. So if you REALLY wanna watch them, they are at your disposal! Thanks for everything today guys! I'm pretty proud of what we accomplished. See you tomorrow for Show off! Heres the link for Fancy Dress from 2/14/18: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMsex0QVTN4-Elizabeth

Thanks Elizabeth! I want you all to watch these and use these as guides.
I'm also throwing in a note here about next week's choreo. If, by chance, the tap shoes aren't here for "Cold Feets", we will be altering the schedule. Please be available on all choreo days. We'll also be reviewing what's been learned so far!

Heres the video for Show off! I know we went through the end really really fast but I was itching to get it done so we wouldnt have to come back to it and finish it. Rachel, if you watch this, Wyatt is your stand in, and Morgan and Gerard, you're in the song periodically as well (Aldolpho will be the one fencing Janet), but I didn't have any stand ins for you. Angela, you know what you're doing for the song, but pay attention to the last few seconds you missed! Thanks for all the hard work you guys! Show off 2/15/18 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTGwEcBEpgE

Here is the first half of Cold Feet's from 2/22/18! Y'all it's looking pretty freaking great so props to the boys! I'm thinking we will take next Wednesdays Toledo Surprise rehearsal and make it into finishing Cold Feets. Tuesday we will attempt to get through Toledo Surprise, and if we don't we can finish it during a review day since I'm not too worried about it, especially the ending. If ya have any questions ask Klem or Ashlyn! Here is the video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kspDHoHMw0o

I'll also have character packets to work on! I'll second the fact that Cold Feets is looking pretty freaking great!

Y’all, I’m crying tears of joy because WE GOT COLD FEETS FINISHED! AND IT LOOKS GREAT! We still have some bits at the end to work on but I am so proud of it overall. Also kudos to the rest of you for doing the review in such a short time! Everything so far is pulling together really nicely. Yay!! Also shoutout to the middle school band kids for dragging chairs out while we filmed this, the screeching sound is really nice. Cold feet’s from 2/28/18!! youtu.be/iNSp7J151SI

Good job today guys! I REALLY wish I didn't have to request this, but YALL. I love you to death, but you guys NEED to focus up more when I'm working with you. Today was almost unbearable and my voice doesn't need to be strained since it should be easy for me to talk to you if you're no more than 5 feet away from me. And this is for EVERY single person in the cast, no exceptions. And you might be thinking "oh no but not ME I am an angel child!" ......No. Everyone needs to focus up, so p l e a s e work on that since these next few weeks are mostly review, theres a large chance I might tweak or change things and stuff like that needs FULL attention. Everything is looking great so far, but still could be better, and I CANNOT keep wasting my time and your time by saying "guys....guys....guys! GUUUYS PAY ATTENTION" and even STILL then not getting full attention. So please, make my job easier, and then we can REALLY clean up this choreo so we can wow our audiences. Thank you!!

Brides Lament from 3/8/18 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGm4FAsqbPII also mentioned this in the latest thread. I know it's easy to tune out when you're not needed, but when you're asked to not talk...and then seconds later start talking, you're not really being helpful. Elizabeth is correct when she says you guys could get so much more done, if she wasn't wasting time getting your attention. We have 5 weeks of rehearsal left. We don't want to spend 4 weeks of it asking you to be quiet and listen. I'm handing Elizabeth our official choreography focus squirt bottle Tuesday. We've used it many times in the past. It's a great way to get your attention and to make you focus.

We are making so much process and its really exciting! Just as an overall general note, with everything that we have learned so far, one note from me is that almost everything (ESPECIALLY the parts where everyones dancing together) needs to sharpen up A LOT. Now that we have these moves locked in, focus on sharpening each move so it has more intention! Trust me, it will look a billion times better! Besides that, we are on the right track! Expect Thursday to be a whole lot of small bits in some of the songs (love is always lovely, wedding bells 1 and 2, I do i do in the sky and the finale) hopefully we can get most of it done! (Klem, a thing I asked for to Ashlyn but should've also asked you is if I can get 2-3 more rehearsals with them moving on in case I cant finish these small song bits on Thursday, also just for a general clean up) (they don't have to be full rehearsals) (but it would be nice if I had at least one more full rehearsal where I have them all day instead of after pit practice) (ok thanks) Im glad we finally filled in toledo surprise today! Amanda, please take a looksie and just pay attention ONLY to Angela since you're with her during this song.

Alright y'all we are getting into the final pieces of choreo for the show! As I mentioned many times today, retaining what you have learned is VITAL! At this point I really can't (and I shouldn't have to) keep taking time out of the rehearsal day to go through entire songs over and over. Obviously I'll want to go through small parts here and there so we 100% understand what we are doing, but you guys NEED to retain what you're being taught and hopefully I do not need to be stern with you ever again. hopefully. Heres love is always lovely in the end from 3/15/18! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiTDoqO-rtM

Pick a day during the next 2 weeks. If it's one of the pit days, I need to go in and record the pit (minus singers). I could do that, while you do that. How's that?

Well, I think we finished all the choreo for the show! To the other half of the cast who was not there, its pretty easy to find where you are since most of the people we missed have husbands or wives to stand next to. We had some lovely stand ins for a few of you but not all! Just please get with the rest of your cast to find your place in this since I cannot spend a lot of time teaching it to you all! Julia, you're a cloud with Rachel and you mirror her the entire time so look out for that!

Not to bug everyone (I'll do that at when we meet today) but I'm a little disappointed in this cast's ability to watch these videos. We have 16 people in this cast, and a few of the big group numbers have less than 12 views. These are made for you to help you!
As we get into these final 3 weeks of rehearsal when everything starts going fast, we don't want to have to be retreading things you should've learned weeks ago. We have zero time for that. These are really valuable tools to see how you're dong personally and what you need to work on. Are you watching your feet or others? Are you stepping too early or late? Are your arms in the right positions? These videos don't lie. They speak volumes, but they do you little good if you don't even watch them once.
Please...watch them!
