Windy Acres Spring Racing Carnival Comedy Performance

[Ice Weasel]

Yeah, the problem is... Vanimor was doing Vanimor songs... Abby has her set covered. I'm just going to show up and be ready to... I dunno, juggle flaming lips or something...

 

[Ehn Farad]

I have some nice celtic trio songs I made for my side project that we could do with Jebbob if you like.

[Briallan]

I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing for:

• Tumbling - Music cue "TBD" from Rho, song Calliope , tumbling performance (about 4 minutes)
• Finale Group dance/singing to Circus-Renz (3 minutes including bows)

I am available for rehearsing it tonite or tomorrow before the show. We should at least run thru it once or twice.

Is Abby clear on the order of the songs for our routine?

[Ehn Farad]

I've been trying to get in touch with Kiralynn, but she's not responding to tells. Will get info to you when I have it myself, on where we will be performing for the comedy stuff

The tumbling I am working on right now, hoping to get it done shortly. The lyrics for that song will follow.

Both performances are just a matter of clicking in Lyrical. I will have all lyrics, emotes, etc. ready.

Bri - which dances do you know? That last bit will be just us dancing and singing to the music Abby plays.

Once I'm ready I will wrangle together a run-through of both performances (Jebbob can play the melodies). I'm hoping that can happen tonight, but if not, tomorrow morning.

[Briallan]

Haha ... yeah Kiralynn is likely overly busy today ... didn't respond to my attempts to contact her either and she is usually very prompt :) I didn't think to ask her where in particular we would set up for the comedy routine when I talked to her yesterday....

I can do the 1 and 2 dances for man, hobbit, dwarf and elf.

 

[Ice Weasel]

Abby has all the music.  I'll double check with her in the morning about order, timing and which versions to use. I put all that in an email, but... she's had a rough evening.

Her concert went brilliantly, though.  So glad for her.

Anyway... got the intro files done... splitting them with the lyrics I do, ended up with over a dozen segments. LOL 

Too tired now... I'll refresh my songbook and copy my part assignments from the spreadsheet in the morning... Heck, i should have two hours between getting up and first show for Lilikate. LOL

I *think* I'm good on everything else. I'll go over my checklists, too. 

[Ehn Farad]

Here's the lyrics for Circus Renz - let me know if they need any tweaking (feel free to suggest edits, that would be easiest for me at this point)

We are here
We're here to entertain, my friends!
With songs and gongs
And things that go oom-pah!
We will dance
And caper in a lively way
If you must ask
We just need to use the privy!

We just love to do a show for you
(And for your horses too, and for your horses too)
We just love to do a show for you
It's because we all know that you love us too!

We just love to do a show for you
(And for your horses too, and for your horses too)
We just love to do a show for you
It's because we all know that you love us too!

Oooo Oooo Ahhhh
Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhhh Oooo
Oooo Oooo Oooo .... Ahh
Fa lalalala lalalalala la lalalalala!

We just love to ensure
you are having a fantastic time
Even though it's not easy
After all that ale

Oooo Oooo Ahhhh
Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhhh Oooo
Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo Ahh
Fa lalalala lalalalala la lalalalala!

We are here
We're here to entertain, my friends!
With songs and gongs
And things that go oom-pah!
We will dance
And we'll caper in a lively way
If you must ask
We just need to use the priv
The priv
The priiiiivvy!

[Ehn Farad]

OK, everything is ready, just have to get the files for you guys and will post them here when they're ready. Here's the final schedule:

First set of the day

Krohkur solo performance - 10 minutes long

Second set of the day

Rhovanael solo performance - 11 minutes long

Final set of the day

Bri - I Kissed a Horse (3 minutes)
Tumbling - Music cue "Prepare to be amazed!" from Rho, song Calliope , tumbling performance (about 4 minutes)
Finale Group dance - Music cue "Does anyone here like to dance?" from Rho, song Circus-Renz (3 minutes including bows)

[Ice Weasel]

I knew that there was something else I wanted to bring up... We ought to thank Abby for backing us with the music.  Maybe say something like:

The Sore Thumbs would like to thank the Just Abbys for the help today.
The music is our fault, but Abby graciously agreed to help us see if, when you tickle a hobbit's feet just right, it sounds like a calliope.
Thanks Abby!

Still, we need to rehearse this, since I am still very vague on the details of what happens outside of my own bit, and even my own bit requires a bit of coordination with you guys. I can be available any time today that works for you guys -- when can we do this?

[Ice Weasel]

I might have some time between 3pm and 3:30pm servertime... I'm blocked solid otherwise. 

Mainly, I think (Rho, correct this as needed) besides your song, Bri, it is just messing around, doing emotes and goofing off.  Reacting to Rho's song, for example...

I quickslot some emotes, will have to type some or  put them in a lyrical page for quick playback.

[Briallan]

Well  ... for my bit, I need someone to be sitting on a horse, on my left side and facing me, during my song, so I can interact with it. I guess it should be Rho if that's possible, since she rides an actual horse, and Kro rides a .. what is it ... a pony or a donkey or something?

I would still like to rehearse the tumbling and dance bits at the end. Maybe we could do that at 3PM server time up at Hengstacer's behind the barn?

[Ice Weasel]

LOL... ponies. Hobbits and Dwarves need something they don't have to carry a ladder around to get up on. 

If you want, Kro would be happy to sit astride his goat for you... LOL

Just let me know... I'm about 15 minutes from logging in for the day.  If I don't respond to tells or Courserrim channel, it will be because I can't, or am taking a rapid bio break. Otherwise I'll monitor the usual places.

[Ehn Farad]

No need to stress out about this stuff, it's all completely pre-scripted - you will just be hitting lyrical buttons on my cue, so there's nothing that requires any thought or effort.

3:00PM would work fine, but I think we should do it at the kin house so that we have fewer distractions. I can port us all to Bree afterward, or wherever anyone wants to go.

Bri - is there any particular horse you fancy? *wink*wink* I have several.

[Briallan]

Okey dokey ... yes kinhouse is fine for rehearsal if that works for Kro.

As for the horse, well ... it should be a cute one! :)
