Military Tattoo and REVIEWS!!!

We had a good day today! Or a good afternoon. We started off the day by attending another school's show "Love's Wild Desire". That was..........

I then went to hand out more flyers on the Royal Mile with a few people before we hopped over to see a show at a Spaces venue (for free!) called "Henna Night", about a suicidal woman who meets the woman for who her ex boyfriend leaves her. The scales of the productions here amaze me - one of the two women was the one taking tickets! It was a very moving yet still lightly funny show.

at 5:50pm, our time on the Royal Mile stage came. Hunt and Julia started off their reenactment scene while a small crowd watch. Nick Muoio('s character) interrupted and started to get angry at everyone - he even yelled at a kid (in a good way). Meanwhile, Kalyn, Nick and I were planted inthe audience to heckle Nick. It got to the point where Kalyn and Nick took J and H's places. And somewhere in there, Sabrina exploded when Nick mentioned the "loosed gummed." We ended earlier than we thought, so Nick Banks lead us in an impromptu singing of "Seasons of Love," which went pretty well, actually!

After dinner on our own, we headed over to the cattle line that lead to the Military Tattoo. Though the average age was around 70, PDS nestled in and bundled up with the other ASHTF kids. It was an incredible show!! The music ranged from "God Save the Queen" to the "Harry Potter" theme song and "Ease on Down the Road" from the Wiz! The projections on the castle brought together the 400 year structure with a new performance. And the fireworks were cool, too! We fought through the crowds and arrived safely back at Pollock Halls.

REVIEWS CAME OUT!!! I'm happy with our 3/5 and THRILLED for our 4/5, which lots of professional shows can't say they have gotten. See what you think here: http://edfringereview.com/reviews/event/TjzyTEHMSkm6p3VzwwOIBg
