Lesson 4-Notes
This lesson began with us learning the waltz with in pairs. This was a very funny task as many of us were not the best and probably explains the reasoning for only a few pairs doing it in the show. After a while we came up with the opening to our promenade theatre piece. The start begins with roughly 5/6 pairs waltzing in a ballroom/tea party style, with men and woman drinking tea or observing around the edge in a horse shoe shape.
We also learnt the song 'Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag' by Spike Jones (1942) which includes the lyrics:
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile
While you've a Lucifer to light your fag
Smile boys that's the style
What's the use of worrying
It never was worthwhile
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile
The boys already leave before this ends, apart from Jacob and I that stay to put on our soldiers costumes.
