I have a new job. Mrs. Gargus needs a new set for the short play. Only problem is that it has to be built in 2 days. Hirschfelt and I will try to do this but he is pressed for time and I though that after musical i would have more time too but turns out i was wrong as well. Lets get this thing done!

I am at a stand still for a while on my project. I have to help my friend Sam with his movie for the SRS project this weekend. And Next weekend after that is my friend Eric's concert. I will start trying to make interviews to help answer my questions from another point of view.

The set is completely taken down. Everything material is done. Now all I have to do is research regarding set making. I have to do interviews of builders, workers, designers and so on. Hopefully i can check out aome local musicals and see what that's all about. I'm thinking i might be able to score getting on a plan with my school to help build next years sets. If anyone is out there doing the same thing as me I'd love to share ideas.

On Tuesday we tore the entire set apart. It came apart quite quickly. The stairs and the main frame will be reused thankfully. Everything else has to be thrown out. Today we take the frame down. If we have any luck, this will be acomplished in a few ours with some help from my friends. Up to this moment I have 2 responces of no and have yet to recieve a yes.

04/16/13

Tear down begins. I can't get much help but we are only spending a few hours there today.

04/15/13

Musical is over. Both cast were fantastic and both shows went extremely well. Everything held up just the way I thought they would.

Today we are taking back all the chairs and music stands.

Tomorrow we strike the set. It should only take a few days

We also found a buyer for our state rooms which makes this easy. I'm hoping we get a good price.

Spent all spring break on this. We are still not done but we are close. I couldn't have gotten this far along without the help of my friends. We are just one week from show time.
