Behind the Scenes - VBS show

I had a magic show for what I was told is El Bueno church, but I think they are called El Buen church... not sure.

The show started off to be really fun before anything began because I had to try to cover someone's shift at my job, essentially being in two places at once! I had to thread up ten movie theatre projectors and teach my gm how to start movies within thirty minutes.

This made me late for the caravan that would be directing me to the show somewhere near/in Detroit. I showed up fifteen minutes late and was only able to stay in their house long enough to solve their Rubic's Cube. As we left I got stuck at a red light and had to guess which direction to go! Luckily I made it without getting lost and was able to catch up with them.

I had been working on the show concept for a little while now, but I hadn't actually practiced the full thing until the morning of. I had put together the final effects the nite before, but when I woke up I realized that half of them weren't going to be ready! I also noticed before I left that most of the other half I didn't have the necessary equipment. I was going to pass out strings and have each kid make an impromptu pendulumn, but I didn't think that I only had the strings and no weights. I really only had one thing truly planned... and once the show started all the kids had sat right up to the stage and I only had two steps of room to work with, so my lone rehearsed idea wasn't going to work!

The kids all seemed to enjoy the show that I put together on the spur of the moment, however. It may not have been the best show for the older kids and adults sitting in the back, but I did a preshow performance in the basement for them and it blew everyone away luckily enough.
