Due to our performance being tomorrow, we decided we would do a run-through of everyone's songs and the ensemble song. Firstly, we needed to decide what order we would sing the songs in. To decide this we put everyone's names in a hat and Maddie picked out the first name and whoever was picked got to pick the next name.
My name was picked first which meant that I was going to be the first one to perform one of my solo songs. I decided to sing 'Pompeii' first as I knew it wouldn't use too much of my voice which means I can save the power in my voice for 'I Dreamed A Dream'. I then picked Maddie's name out of the hat and she decided to sing 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift first. Maddie then picked Amelia's name out of the hat and she decided to sing 'I Miss You' by Blink 182 first, which meant Evie would sing last and she wanted to sing 'Don't Stop Believing' by Journey first.
We then decided we would perform our ensemble song, 'Stay With Me', in between our solo's to add some interest into the performance. We agreed to use the same structure when choosing who would sing next. This meant I would sing 'I Dreamed A Dream' next, with Maddie following after me singing 'Hey Soul Sister' by Train. Amelia would then sing 'Money, Money, Money' from Mamma Mia, and Evie would finish the performance with 'Yours' by Ella Henderson.
When rehearsing the performance we sung it in the same order as our program. We rehearsed with the microphone this time so we got used to how our song sounded like when singing it into a microphone. When rehearsing both of my ensemble songs I thought they sounded very good and I didn't need to make any last minute improvements, I just need to be confident with the song. When rehearsing the ensemble song, we were all happy with the outcome but we just need to make sure everyone is loud enough. Since we only have three microphone, we decided Evie and Amelia would have their own microphones and Maddie and I would share since our harmonies are similar.
