Party
Scene was better tonight. Thank you for listening and applying the
corrections I gave you! Your spacing was much better for the Boys'
diagonal lines,
the candy box, and the hobby horse tug-of-war.
I would still like the Party Boys to look a little less serious during
their first march, though-- this is at the beginning of Party Scene,
when Herr Stahlbaum leads you from sitting in front of the tree into
your huddle, and then your march downstage (before
the gallops). It's okay to smile a little during your march forward!
Also better with leaving more space around Marie and Fritz after he
grabs the Nutcracker from her. The scene looks so much better when there
is less of a crowd around them.
