Dear Drama SYF participants,

Time is running out.
Our SYF piece is in... pieces. Literally.
We have slightly more than a month left to SYF.

Ms Amy's style of training is scary.
I feel like we are tangling on a thin strand of thread.
Usually by now we would have already finished blocking the entire play
and would be practising it again over and over for perfection.

We have barely finished blocking the acting parts,
and we are currently working on our movement and 'dance' moves.
Costumes, props, music - argh!

On your part,
I hope that you will all co-operate and work together as a team.
We are all in this together, and we will emerge together as one at the end of the finish line.
The journey is as important as the destination. We can make it.

I hope to see more teamwork and seriousness in future practice sessions, myself included (I goof off a lot!).
Use training time properly and fruitfully, because quite frankly
we are each paying a large sum of money for our training. Don't play play.
We want the Gold, and we can achieve it if we put in our best efforts. Nothing is impossible.

Just for your curiousity, here is the judging and award criteria, taken from the SYF website.

Yes, very scrict criteria for drama.

To all drama club members,
we hope you like the T-shirt,
please wear it every drama session.

To wash, you can handwash.
Otherwise, to machinewash, you must put the t-shirt inside a net.
You cannot iron.
If you wish to iron, flip the t-shirt inside out and iron the inside only.

See you guys tomorrow,
Herman
