Behind the Scenes! ( you should watch the videos first before you read this) : I was in charge of the rose. That was MY job. There were four different roses and each one had less petals on it then the last one so that it looked like the rose was wilting. I would go back stage during certain scenes and take one out and put the new one in. In the last scene, the last rose petal had to fall, right? So this is how we did it. We had a thin translucent string glued to the last petal (which was taped to the stem. all the roses were fake.), and I would thread the string through the bottom of the glass case and give the end of the string to the drummer who was next to the stage. when the time came, she would pull the string, and the petal would fall! Well, actually, It didn't fall half the time. The petal was either taped on to tightly or to loose. When it was to tight, the drummer would pull and the stem would bend down and down and then the petal would finally come off and the stem would bounce back with a twang. When it was to loose, it would just fall off to early. SOMETIMES it would work. I think it worked three times maybe? But something else went wrong when it did. One time, it worked perfectly, but the lights underneath it weren't on for some strange reason and no one could SEE it. I was rather annoyed. I was REALLY annoyed actually. But on closing night, it worked beautifully. Nothing went wrong, and it worked like magic. Me and Marsha ( the drummer) were bouncing up and down. I was so happy it worked. It was like my life task was finished now that I got it right. :D
Wow. that was really long and probably really boring. Well, It was part of my life!
