Xelly's Chronicle

Last week we went to performing Arts Camp which we went to Monday-Friday 9am to 12pm at Brookwood high school. We do this just about every summer. When we get there we were divided up into 3 groups according to age. I was put in the C group since I was one of the oldest there. Each of our groups would learn a different song, skit, and dance related to the theme of the performance (Wonders of the Earth) we would do on Friday. So, once we got there, we did a few drama related games and went off to our different classes. The C group had music first (probably my least favorite class). We learned the song we would perform on Friday just within our group and the opening song we would perform with groups A and B. Our song was about the ocean. After that, we went to drama. The first day you just play games, and most of the next day we did. We wound up having a kit about the rain forest. I had a leading role. Then, we had a break where we got a snack. After that we went to dance. Our dance was hard. We had to learn the last part of the dance on the day of the performance! At the end of the day, we would all gather in the theater and work on the opening song and the choreography to it. Then we would go home. I'll post some pictures when we have them on our computer.
