Day 2 of tech

It's only been 2 days of tech, however it feels like much longer! Our schedule is much different in tech then rehearsal....we don't start till 1pm and can go up until 11pm. So far its a lot of standing around so that they can get the lights and special effects all cued up in right time. We starting working on the bus today. (We start NYAC riding on a New York City tour bus, and we have all this bus-ography that is totally strange now that we are actually on the bus because we've been practicing it in regular open air, now we have all these handles and railings and things to worry about.) The fun thing is we are teching in the old Hershey Arena, which is on Hersheyland property, and I'm not joking when I say that we could totally go ride a roller coaster on our dinner break because we are that close!!!!! I think we may try it on the weekend, try to sneak in! The other awesome thing about this tour is our caterer. We have a caterer that just met up with us in Hershey and will be traveling with us on the road. I had heard all these great stories of how good this caterer, Gordy, really was but I just wasn't convinced. Well, let me just say that I had duck tonight for dinner and gelato out of a coconut for dessert. It is gourmet fancy food!!! We have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich station, a cappachino machine, fresh bread for our salads....it is bananas!!!
