Variety Show: Part of a Team!

We really were all in this TOGETHER!

            Being a part of a team was not my thing. I used the word ‘was’ because that was before the variety show came. I became the assistant director and secretary. I love our concept which was the Disney World.

             A problem arises when some of us didn’t like the concept. Some of us didn’t want to be part of any of the divided groups (singers, dancers and props). What we did was to talk to them and ask them what they want to do instead. They don’t have an alternative idea for it so we decided that the show must go on and we will be using the Disney.

            The princesses were our priority. We downloaded songs and videos for them to study. I helped in teaching our ‘Moana’ with her song ‘How Far I’ll Go’. It was hard for me to teach vocal lessons because I only know the tune and lyrics but I am not an effective singer. It took 9 sessions of listening, altering and even choreographing the steps of Moana.

            One week before the show, most of the class went to the singer group. As an assistant director, I monitor and ask what is happening per group. The dancers are having a hard time because they were only 10 people in it. They asked me if I could join them and I did.

            I learned that if you are a part of a team, you should your part regardless if you love the concept or not. Go to the group that would showcase your talent and abilities. Don’t let laziness overcome you. Don’t be afraid to express yourself if necessary.
