This week at Young Singers Club, I have been working with the Glee kids. We've also had a Disney camp going at the same time, but I haven't spent much time with them. I've been working with Cassidy Cook as a choreographer, and we've been having a great time.
Tonight is our recital, so today, we're prepping for a big gig. It's intense. It's a lot of fun, but it's very intense. Most of these kids have never had a gig like this before that they've had to work this hard to produce. A lot of them have some kind of performance experience, but it's been sort of low-key. So this is a new and intense experience for them. But I think it'll be good for them.
I've been seeing them grow through the week, but the most interesting part has been the way they've sort of grown into different people in their personal selves. Our motto is "empowering students through musical performance" and we use performance skills to help the kids have fun and to become more confident and engaged in their lives. It's been a great experience. And it's great to see that what we want to happen is really happening.
Anyway, the recital is tonight at The Rock. The Glee girls have been working hard on their songs, and especially on some difficult choreography for Lady Gaga's Bad Romance (which, as a romance author, I find very ironic). It should be a fun show!
