At my school we have a special name for the week before our
first show choir competition; Hell Week. We call it this because it can be very
stressful at times, but it is to prepare us for the tiring day of show choir,
singing, and dancing we have a head. Although we start learning our show in the
middle of july we don’t have it anywhere near finished and competition ready by
this time of the year that’s why we have hell week, to give us a few hours of
extra practice before going into the metaphoric ring.
The
main issue I have with hell week is that is very very stressful, there is
stress from homework, and school work, and the fact that you have a competition
in a week, and you need to keep your body in top physical condition for that
competition. It’s a lot of stuff for one
person to take in, to handle the stress it is a good idea to not procrastinate
on homework or work to be done, also getting work done in class would be a very
good idea.
Another
problem of hell week is that practices are lengthened which means less sleep
for the performers, tech crew, and really anyone involved in the show in any
way. Also being at school for a longer amount of time takes away time to do
homework so you would have to stay up even later to get that done. Plus being a
growing teenager takes a lot of energy away from you to start with.
You may
have noticed that when you spend a lot of time with a certain person or group
of people they tend to get on your nerves, well people in show choir tend to
spend a lot of time together, so you can probably guess that arguments can
break out. People talking, doing the wrong move, or even singing a wrong note
can hit the right nerve to make someone super mad.
