Broadway Academy Part II

Hi everyone!
It's Campbell here. Sorry it's been awhile since I've updated. Lots has happened since my last entry. I'll start where I left off.
The Broadway Academy was awesome. I had the time of my life singing, dancing and acting. It was also good to meet different people and make new friends. It was an intensive week of rehearsing and performing, but I loved every minute of it. The camp ran for about 12 hours every day for 8 days. So it was intense, as I said. But I had a great time.
We worked on music from Rent and guys and Dolls during the week and then we had a gala performance at the end of the week to show what we did. Here are some photos from that performance. 

At the start of our show 4 of our teachers gave a performance. They sang a number together and then 3 of them sang solos.


(The fourth teacher is playing the piano.)

Then it was our turn. We started off with a few of us singing a medley of Broadway songs. Here I am singing, "Out There" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Not exactly a Broadway show, but it worked.) =) 

After the cabaret, all the students came on stage and we sang a medley of songs from Rent. I really liked that. I got to sing some songs that I've really liked since High School. 


After the Rent medley we had an intermission. Then it was time for Guys and Dolls. We did a abridged version of the show. God blessed me with one of the leading roles in this part. I played Sky Masterson. I got to dance, and sing a couple of solos. I loved it. 
Here's me and my leading lady. =) 


This is us and my teachers. There were five teachers total. You see the fifth teacher between Linda and I. 
There are a lot more photos. But I think that's enough for now. =) I'm super thankful for the opportunity to go to this camp. I learned a lot and had a great time.
