First Day's Drama

Today was the first day.  We had over 100 children from 3 schools: Weyfield, All Saints and Ardingly Prep.  They all arrived in good time and within half an hour Dave had them learning the dance he had devised which covered dance moves of the last 5 decades which will be performed in front of a backdrop of images.  We then split into groups to practice the scenes.  It all came together after lunch when we got out all the props and costumes for the dress rehearsal. Our audience arrived, including St Michael's School and we started!  Highlights included the Charleston girls, the VE day tea party scene and the building scene.  Both performers and audience throughly enjoyed it and we are all off for a lie down before doing it all again tomorrow!
