It's All Over

Yes, the play is all over, and it was a big success! We even donated over $5,000 to California Donor Transplant for Nolan Blair, a freshman in high school who had a heart transplant a couple months ago. Cool, huh? Now, we're all over the internet! Click on these link to see us.

Also, since I don't have a good picture of Alec and Rick in the play up on this blog, so here's one (Alec is the Butler and Rick is the Baker).

Also, Kyle Makaiwi couldn't be in the play, because he had lots of football practice, but he was able to come to this night's performance. Yup!

Joseph Cont.

So, my mom got the hang of filming, so we have some good shots of the play. So, to start off, the whole cast had some dinner together.

Oh yeah, and Rick drew a dog named "Maggie the Dog".

Then, we had to get our makeup done, and yes, that wasn't much fun. After our makeup. I wanted to get some funny pictures of Dallin's weird-looking makeup!

Oh, and in case if you were worrying a bit, don't worry, we still love women. Anyway, when I went into the bathroom, I noticed if I face downwards, I look like I'm goth, so I took a picture of it.

Then, I tried to get a picture of Jeremy's makeup.

Attempt #1

Attempt #2

We noticed that Jeremy's name was printed in the program, so I wrote his name in this program.

Okay, so here's some shots for the show. In the beginning, we Egyptians get to be a bunch of different people, as I said on Thursday (you can read more about it on the post from Thursday).

Here's a close-up shot of me and Teddy (we're LDS missionaries).

Grant Ganschow was Joseph.

Then, the next scene we came on was the "Potiphar" scene.

Alex Wright was Potiphar.

After that was the Go Go Go Joseph scene. That was embarrassing because we had to dance around in goofy hats, wigs, and pants.

Then there was intermission. After intermission, we came in for "The song of the King", when the Pharaoh explains his dream to Joseph.

Tommy Brown was Pharaoh. And yes, the Pharaoh is supposed to be based on Elvis Presley.

After the whole Egypt Scene is "Those Canaan Days". None of us Deacons are in it, but some Teachers that were in Deacons with were in it. It's a pretty funny song because it sounds like a Frenchy song.

Also, during this song, the narrators get to eat KFC at a table that supposed to look like a café (I'm so jealous!).

Then finally, the Egyptians come on for the finale.

And that's pretty much it!

Opening Night!

Well, today was opening night for Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat! So first, we had to get our makeup on (yes, even the guys have to wear makeup). In the very beginning of the play, we get to be several different people. Alec is a music conductor, Dallin and Jaren are football players, Jeremy is a businessman, Teddy and I are LDS missionaries, Rick is a policeman, and Kyle Worley and Brandon are school kids.

Now, my mom tried to film the scenes we're in, but she thought the green light meant "record", when really it's the red button, so there was a bunch of videos of my mom's lap and only some subliminal shots of us. Here's the Narrators:

Left to Right: Ariana Viera, Becca Brown, Lauren Peterson,

Lexi Patterson, and Kelsey Makaiwi

And here's a picture during the Egypt Scene:

You can see Rick pretty well. I'm the guy with the his arm in front of this face. Dallin is peeking out of my head. Brandon is the guy in a profile. Alec looks like he's staring at the Sphinx. Teddy is to the left of Lexi Patterson. Jeremy is directly behind Lexi. Kyle Worley is behind Lexi too (you can see his turquoise hat peeking from her neck).

So, I told my mom that the red button means "record", so I think we will have better shots of the play tomorrow!

Play Practice

Today Alec, Dallin, Rick, Kyle Worley, Jaren, Jeremy, and I came to Play Practice. Also, Teddy came because his birthday will happen while we're doing the play, so he came too!

Anyway, we added on to The Pharaoh's Song, and we get to do some cool stunts with our PVC pipes. So, today was also pretty successful!

The Day We Became Egyptians

The youth in our church are doing a play this year and the play is:

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!

Dallin, Jaren, Kyle Makaiwi, Kyle Worley, Jeremy, and I are Egyptians. Alec is the Butler and Rick is the Baker. Then Alex Wright is Potipher.

Today was one of our first play practices. Alec, Dallin, Jeremy, Rick, Kyle Worley, and I came to the practice We had to practice the Pharaoh's Song, where the Pharaoh is explaining his dream to Joseph. Alot of us guys (except for Alec who has to hold a platter) get PVC pipes decorated as spears. Then we get to do a bunch of cool stuff with them. We also got our dance down to the Pharaoh's Song (we pretty much just bob up and down and wave our spears around).

So, yeah, tune in every Wednesday and Saturday to hear how we're doing on the play! If you want a synopsis of what the play is about click here.
