The first half of my piece tonight went almost flawlessly; I was so proud, I was standing in the wings trying not to cry. The second half had a lot of flubs with the lighting because Hannah doesn't know the cues yet. Here's hoping that gets fixed by tomorrow night, since it's the last rehearsal. Now I'm headed to bed to sleep on some of the things the instructors said, namely that they hate the black tights and leotards with my costumes. At this point, I'm fairly certain I'm going to keep the black, rather than go nude, for reasons of modesty--even apparent modesty--for my girls. At first, I was thinking I might be willing to give in on the tights, but I remember watching them dance at tech without black tights, and while their legs looked beautiful, the girls seemed top heavy without something on the bottom to balance it. Giving them nude leotards isn't going to make them any less top heavy, either. Besides, I love the more modern feel of the black under all that color. I would feel perfectly comfortable wearing such an outfit down the street, if this wasn't Lynchburg.
On another topic, I got my teeth fixed this morning. That is to say, they filled one of them. I didn't much care for the dentist I saw, but I think that was partly a result of him being very busy. It's nice to be able to talk and chew again (though I'm still a little unsure of the chewing part). I don't have much more to say about that.
