Yikes, I'm late. Well, for the uninformed, my brother and I performed in a local contest called 'Star Search'. Will sang 'This Is the Moment' from Jekyll and Hyde, and I sang 'On My Own' from Les Miserables. He placed second in his age category, I placed third in mine. So here are the videos from the Star Search night.

Neither of us were very pleased with those performances, as we were both ridiculously nervous and didn't sing like we normally do. So the next night, which was the annual Relay for Life, we re-did our songs. Our songs weren't anything special, we were just part of a re-enactment of the entertainment.

Perhaps we just agonize over it too much. But I much prefer the second take. I also made my own costume for Eponine--here's a close-up: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q262/ErikandMia/277.jpg
For the skirt I just took a long skirt I already had and pinned it up to knee-level. For the shirt Mom and I made it from scratch; and I already had a belt. And then for 'Barricade Day' (Friday, June 6) I dressed up as Javert:

I'm told I look like an assassin here. But I just wasn't smiling. If I had fake sideburns or a hat I would have worn them. For the rest of Barricade Day I watched the Les Mis TAC recording, sketched Javert's TAC costume, and stayed up until 1:23:45 AM on 6/7/08. Why, you ask? Well, two reasons. 1) Because I could. 2) It was the anniversary of Javert's death--around 1 AM on June 7th. And it was just fun. Will was going to stay up but he begged off around 11. I was getting pretty draggy by 12:30 or so, but managed to stay awake by reading silly comics and listening to Javert's songs again.
Oh! Oh! Before I forget!! I managed to time Javert's Suicide so that it would end right at 1:23:45 AM! And then, after all the excitement *coughcough* I slept in my Javvie-coat. Not something I'd want to repeat, methinks--I was kind of hot when I woke up the next morning. But otherwise it was a lot of fun.
