Dress Rehearsals

Yesterday was Sandy’s last rehearsal in school. We went to Villa Salud in Bicutan so they can rehearse wearing their costumes. I wasn’t planning on going but her father insisted that I accompany her. The rehearsals, as expected were still a bit rough but may I just say how amazed I am that Sandy danced without problems on stage? She even sits with her friends without looking for me. I couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear whenever it was Sandy’s turn to stand on stage even though she’s just an extra LOL.

Here are some photos. I wasn’t planning on bringing the camera but my phone needs new micro sd so I had no choice. I’m glad I did! I was able to test the lighting (or lack thereof) and plan where the stage parents (me and The Husband) will stand tomorrow! We are going to talk tonight so we can plan our positions – him with the DSLR and me with the videocam. ;)

With her co-stars – the dolls. I was told they should come in Doll costumes but when we arrived at the place, all the dolls were wearing gowns. So for tomorrow, I will have Sandy wear a gown that she wore once to a wedding.

On stage wearing their costumes. In order for the musical to be close to perfect, each toddler student are partnered with one Prep student.

They also practiced walking down the aisle for “graduation” and I had this lump on my throat just watching Sandy all grown up.
