Yesterday it was a show day here in Sodertalje. We had our show in Taljehallen basketball court. From the morning it was really busy as we had really a lot of thing on ours mind.
In the morning, we had to take care that BTS and promotion team reach right place. BTS is small show for certain audience and only few people are performing in that show. So, our BTS was taking place in Sodertalje center as part of Fashion show which was taking place in center of the city. I wasn’t there so I don’t know how it was and how everything looked like.
I was taking care of the Taljehallen facility and it was really busy as everyone needed rooms for tonight and we had to figure out where to put certain events happening after and before show so that everything can logistically work out fine. Soon after that came the lunch time and it wasn’t much work with that as we got donated sandwiches from Nancy’s so they just had to take sandwich.
After lunch, it’s been busy as our VIP backstage tour was starting. VIP backstage tour is tour for potential students in Up with people who have an unique chance to go backstage, see how things work backstage and spend whole afternoon with cast.
We also had guest speaker Tommy Spaulding, CEO of Up with People as our guest. It’s been really good to hear his speech as that’s what we needed at that point.
After the backstage tour, our children choir came. They are in the show with us in 2 songs.
When we took care of all of that, it was already dinner time so it was our responsibility to take care of the dinner. For dinner we had past with tomato sauce from PastaHuset. It was really good meal and cast was really happy to get that.
After dinner things went really fast… Green room… guests… show… From the dinner to show, everything is a little bit blurry to me as it was happening so fast. Green room was awesome and I missed it for this 3 weeks. It’s good to be back in the cast.
Show was awesome. I almost cry when I saw my cast standing there and performing. As Faith and I, we were in advanced work; we didn’t have to participate in the show. We watched the show and we were so proud of our cast.
After the show I met girl coming from Bosnia. It’s ironic as funny thing happened yesterday morning when Faith and I started to prepare ourselves for show day. I was standing in bathroom, after just wakening up and I was washing my face and question just popped out of my mouth: “Kaj planiraš obući danas?” She was looking at me and than I realized that I spoke Croatian language with her and that I have to correct that so I asked her again: ”What do you plan to wear today?”
Life is so unpredictable and sometimes I think that life is playing with us. Sometimes things happen that tried to worn you of some things happening in near future and this things are the things to watch out for as they can really be precious. In my deep mind, life tried to tell me that I’m about to meet nice girl from Bosnia and that I’m about to speak some Croatian language today. And I didn’t realize that until I met her and when she introduces herself in Croatian language, not English. That was moment to remember.
