The Exploding Theater Musical!!!

Humanities 1 students section A7 of Ms. Biong gave their preeminent blast in their midterm exam which was a theater musical last September 6, 2010 at exactly 1:00 pm at CASS rooftop. There were 4 sections and thus 4 competitors. The A7 section is composed of students who have different year levels and courses. Some are second years and there are third years. There are only 5 CASS students, 1 CBAA and the rest are COE students. Before they performed, they first prioritized the last rehearsal in the morning, polishing all the scenes, the songs, and dances, the sound effects and of course the songs and props needed for the play. After lunch, the performers began preparing their selves- wearing costumes, having make ups, and the like. They were all absolutely committed especially the director of the musical, she was like a little bit crazy about all the kinds of stuffs. Others were still memorizing their lines; some were just taking pictures, making foolishness and funny moments.

Before they performed, the three judges were introduced first and they were not just an ordinary judges, they possessed some of the distinguished achievements and positions in IIT. Next was their awaited performance. Everybody was tensed especially the director and the lead actress. Tensed, excited, afraid, name it, those emotions were obviously seen and felt by the performers. While they were executing, the casts were enthusiastically cooperating, the director was really dedicated because every time the curtains will closed, she eventually calls the characters and get them ready on stage and the very thing was, when there’s an actor or actress who forgot their lines, she immediately whispers to them what they are going to say and thus making the show continue. The determination, hard works and collaboration were beyond compare. Their songs, dances, and of course the acting went well. The judges have wide smile and so with the audience when the “kilig” moments and funny scenes were performed.

After the performance, everyone was tired, exhausted, haggard faces, all were sweating. The casts were undoubtedly surprised about the wonderful comment of Ma’am Biong, that their play was an amazing one, very good performance, she did not expect what they had just delivered, she thought that they were going to perform a fine musical but it all turned out to be like a movie and the fact that most of them are engineering students, she certainly can’t believe it. She mentioned that all scenes were pleasingly performed and from the fact that the jurors were used in giving small grades, only two sections got the scores line of 9 including the A7 learners. According to the judges, A7’s theater musical was very good, good choice of songs, nice choreography, and the concept of the story was intriguing, they were all triggered to watch from the very start and of course the lead actress was very good, she’s too confident in the stage and the rest were performing very well also. The only thing that was discouraging was that their musical was too long, it lasted for almost 2 hours but overall their play was skillfully acted and in fact, they earned the highest score among 4 sections. The successful casts were very thankful for everything- their struggles, hard work, money and time were not at all wasted. At present, they are now starting conceptualizes their Independent Film for their finals. Here’s the breathtaking trivia, the lead actress was me (well, not so breathtaking, hehe)…
