Title: First Rehersal Chapter: 5 Pages: 3 1/2 Kara walked out of the girl's changing room. She had a pair of socks on her feet, a pair of thin black sweats, and a cut off t-shirt. Her hair was up in a ponytail, two strands framing her face. She noticed several other girls dressed like her, yet some didn't have cut off t-shrits. Most of the guys either had baggy pants with or without a shirt, or thin sweats with or without a shirt. A girl with blonde hair was out on the stage looking at someone, a tall auburn hair girl was never to her. "Amber look! God damn! He's fine!"exclaimed the girl, looking at the janitor Seth. "Roger! Down girl."softly said Amber. Roger jumped down from the stage and ran over to him. He had frosty spiky blond hair. He was about twenty five. She smiled sweetly. "Heya, you're kinda cute"she blurted out, giggling, then ran back to Amber, leaving Seth a very puzzled look. Kara giggled. Camille came out, and gathered everyone around. they all sat on the ground while Camille sat in a chair. "I'm going to explain to you guys so you know why you got what character. I've know you all for about two years, counting this year, and I know you all pretty well but Cody and Kara. I think this will help these two get to know you, especially Kara being this is only her thrid day. Besides, its Friday, we'll do this, some streatchest, explained the scedual, and leave and come back tomarrow at nine untill two."explained Camille. They all nodded, and got comfortable. "First I'll start with Amber Cecile. Amber is playing Bombalurina. Amber the reason why you got Bombalurina is because you are a tall lady. You have that spunk that motivates Bombalurina. You have an alto voice, perfecting Bombalurina, giving her that sexy tone, as you give her so well. Your face also tells you are a flirt, even though you don't let the other people see that side of you." Amber turned read a little but that last comment. Roger hit her best friend in the back. Amber pushed Roger some, giving Roger a smile. "Kiona Jaspring."stated Camille. Kiona sat up straighter. "Where to begin. Ah! You have a very mellow alto voice, being able to give that chello sound where Cassandra excerts at times. I've seen you at dance meets, and you are very good. If you could do the leg lift I'd put you as Victoria, but that leg lift is her trade mark. You seem to be very sleek and mysterious, which you, Exotica, Tantomile, and Electra are. Your eyes are bright, like a moon is shining into them, which makes Cassandra. That is the only costume we are changing. We are actually going to make Cassandra look like a siames cat. So that meens you will have leg warms, and maybe gloves, we haven't decided." Kiona just gave a nod, and went back to slacking. "Roger Donovan. Why you are Demeter, lets see." Amber hit Roger in the arm and Roger hit back. Camille grinned. "For one, you and Amber are best friends, almost like sisters, and thats how Demeter and Bombalurina are, or they are sisters, one of the two. Your stage presents is good, just like Demeter. Your face expression seems so natural when you act like Demeter when I saw you try out the other day. Even though you can be hyper at times, you can get the paranoid down perfectly." Roger grinned big, making Amber hit her again. "You should meen all the time, she does not SHUT UP on the phone, she talks about purple cows and apple juice for heavyside!"exclaimed Amber, grinning. Roger smiled, then it dropped, then she hit Amber on the arm. Kerri sat up straight, know it was her turn to be talked about. She loved getting talked about, only if it was good comments. "Electra, Kerri Vesta. Kerri is a soprano yes, but she is a mezzo as I have found out. Most of the time Electra is an alto, but she pulled it off very well. As I picture you in an Electra outfit, I just see an adorable Electra. You aren't strong singing solos as I've seen, but you blend in very well with the others as you sing. You took a couple years of gymnastics and that will help with your characters moves, being one of the most acrobatable queen kitten aside from Etcetera." She went on to explain that Julia Bateman just had the personality of Etcetera all together, Tiassale Sona was as mystic and hauting like Exotica, How Bell Conward just acted out Grizabella so well she was happy, how Caron Hart gave a motherly tone to her voice as she sang, just like Jellylorum, how Gracie Freedman sounded much like the Jennyanydots from the movie, how Rianna Holt was cheeky and hyper, someone who always got in troubel; How since Kiyoshi Lee is the twin to Kenaz Lee what other parts would they have other than Tantomile and Coricopat? "Kara Fitsim. Sorry, I guess I skipped your name."she explained. Kara blushed softly. "You are small, just like Jemima. You just have the cuteness that would make anyone just want to hug you. I pictured you in the video Jemima's costume and almost melted to see how cute someone could be, just like Etcetera. Your voice is just perfect to reach those high notes, and you're young to boot! you are just a Jemima." The blush in Kara's cheeks bloomed more, making her look to the ground. Some of the guys gave a whistle, making it bloom more. "Hm..lets see..David Beckem..ah! Just look at him! A perfect Rum Tum Tugger if I ever saw one. He has a stong singing voice, very well built, a heart melting smile, and the looks top it off. He's a good dancer, and is voice is just very sexy like John's in the movie. He's just a copy of him." David gave a smile off, making Julia squeal. Kara giggled as she saw the hyper blonde just stare at David, already getting into character before the thing even begun! "Cody Laven. Ah, hyper little tyke! Pouncival was a good choice for him. He's very into gymnastics, very hyper and full of energy. His face just sets it off, giving him a very innocent look even though we all know Pouncival isn't as innocent as he seems. Besides, he's pretty young too, very good choice for him." Cody smiled shyly as the girls have small 'aawww's. "Robin Loine. Or should I said Magical Robin Loine. Very good dancer. Very strong voice, but very shy to bring it out. He's small, just like Mistoffelees, and just plain cute! He's been on the dance team since he was freshman, and has been in gymnastics. He's build some, making him nice to see on stage. Very strong dancer too, lots of energy. He'll need that for his dance number." Robin, as Kara did, blushed slightly, not used to getting so much attention. She also explained how Jett Colin was funny to watch for he was Admetus/Rumpus Cat. How Andrew Summer was sweet and kind, but very strong and manly looking. How Caleb Beranda was a sweetheart, just like Asparagus. How Lee Jone was somewhat big, just how Bustopher Jones was. very good Barritone as well. How Dean Conwell, just like Lee, was somewhat big, and a very strong singer, so he was casted as Old Deutoronomy. Landry OMally was casted as Gus/Growtiger because of his acting ability and manly voice. he wasn't all that big, but thats what pillows are for. How Troy Alaban seemed to be the one who'd cause trouble and make people laugh, casting him as Mungojerrie. Tony McCannon had the look of leadership, and a sweet melodic voice, saving the spot of Munkustrap for him. Kenaz Huggs was a shy guy, but also had his times when he could be up to no good, serving him as Plato/macavity. The lastly she explained how Sam McDallon had that tennorish voice and expressions that Skimbleshanks always made. They all listened to her as she explained what was going to happen in the next couple months on how they would be practicing every school day from after school till six, then on saturdays from ten to two except for that Saturday. She dismissed them, and they all went to change. After Kara changed back into her regular cloths she grabbed her back and ran out the door. She turned the corner and bumped into someone, sending the person and herself to the ground. She began to spit out appologies, picking up the books the other person dropped. She grabbed the algebra two book and looked up. Her eyes met a pair of friendly jade eyes. She noticed some sandy bangs above the eyebrows of the friendly eyes. "Hey its okay. You're Kara right?"asked the teenage boy. She gave a little nod. The guy grinned. "You forgot who I was huh? I'd Cody."said the guy. Kara blushed some and Cody grinned. They both stood up, Kara handing Cody his book. "Well, see-ya Jem."called Cody, running the opposite way she was going. She turned and walked toward the main doors to meet her dad. The next day everyone was dressed as they were the following night. Kara's father had explained to her how the dance choreographer would be there that morning to teach them the begining. Her father explained to the chore. that they didn't have a Victoria yet, so she would have to hold out on that dance. Kara looked around, noticeing a medium blonde standing to the side, dressed in loose clothes. She was guessing that was the dance teacher. Camille clapped her hands, everyone gathering around. "This is Roselyn Shire, she will be the dance teacher for you guys. She will teach you the dances from the begining to the end. I know the dances quite well myself. She might want to take individuals to the choir room to practice solo dances, then paste them together. So please give her your full attention." Everybody clapped and gave Rose their full attention. Rose grabbed Roger, pulling her to the front. "You are the first cat they see, you are the first to arrive. As you come our, you are cautious, bent over slightly, bending your knees. As you get closer, you see headlights. She hiss, turned around scared to the oven, eyes alert, darting from side to side sitting in the oven."explained Rose. Roger tried it, her face emotionless as she crept. She scrunched up her nose, giving a hiss, and retreated to a spot, sitting down, eyes award. Rose had Roger do that several more times, fixing some problems and pointing out some tips. They practied untill it was two. They had worked up untill Jellylorum came out. They had practied the dance with a recording of CATS, and with out it to see if they could sing it through their mind. Rose was very happy that Kiyoshi and Thomas were actually twins. They could move in sync with each other very well, and didn't have to work a lot on their part as they would have. As Kara was changing, she was thinking about Virginia. She sighed and picked up her bag. |
