B.O.B Rehearsal 18/03/2010

Aim:
To run through songs, practicing vocals with Joseph. The rest of Joseph's band are unable to make it due to sickness but will be having regular rehearsals until the touring begins. Sam Grogan, Belle and Beast not present.

*warm up*

The cast practice through the beginning scene in Unit One with Joseph on Keyboard. Next the cast practice the song 'coatless hooks' and the office dance. Despite Joseph not having his full band to accompany him, he plays beats and chords on the keyboard to let the cast practice their dance moves with his scored timings. Joseph runs over his cues with the cast to double check both the music and the scene marry up.

Practice the end of 'my new best friend' and the scene where father wakes up in Beast’s house. Joseph practices chords until the cast reform as the house. He scores the time.

Cast practice Father's turmoil dance with Joseph on keyboard chords. This helps the cast get used to the basic music Joseph has scored and it also helps Joseph map out the timing with each scene. Next Beast and Belle run through their relationship scenes and Joseph again notes the times with his chords.

Joseph explains the build ups in music for Belle escaping the room and that he has written the music for the still images of Belle and Beast for the 9 still images. He states that he has added plucking for strings with haunting viola solos to add to scenes.

Joseph moves briefly through the end scenes. He explains how that strings will keep the classic chords used through out the whole play.

Joseph adapts his score for the last scene. It has been noted that the music is a little long than expected so Joseph is to work on this again with the full cast and the full cast of musicians at the next rehearsal.

Cast end early as due to low on numbers but all leave with a better understanding of the basic music.
