Fandom High Holiday Pageant 2006, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

Once everyone was seated, The Tick walked out onto the stage wearing a keen tux. He was ready to celebrate the holidays in style.

"Welcome, chums, to the 2006 Fandom High Holiday Pageant! This year, we're looking to make the pageant as broad as possible, covering several different holidays with several different methods of educating us all with fun! It's Funducation, not to be confused with Funded Education!"

"On the Holiday Tree of Funducation, information is the presents, and you are the children gathered around, hoping for the Hanukkah Wii of Information, or the X-Mas-Box of Knowledge! Our volunteers are the ornaments, making sure the Tree is shiny and festive! The participating classes are the lights that illuminate with organization and color! And I," Tick said, grinning broadly, "am a jolly man in a blue suit! I am not just your Master of Ceremonies tonight, I am also your Santa of Ceremonies! So please allow me to welcome you to this year's Tree of Funducation, the Holiday Pageant!"

[OOC: Please wait for and then follow the OCD. There is a thread for each performance, and then a Performance and Audience sub-thread for each. Please use the subthreads. Pretty self explanatory. Everyone should know what they're doing and which thread they're doing it in, hopefully. If, for some reason, we have threads that are not pinged into as of really late Friday night, I may get creative and randomly recruit people at the last minute if it doesn't Joss them just to make sure the pageant stands as being complete.

I'd like to say thank you in advance to all of my volunteers and I can't wait to see what you put together!]

"For our first class performance of the night, we move away from our ship and towards a musical plane! Professor Aziraphale's Prophecy class will be performing some music for us! Please make them feel so welcome that we have to change the name of the class to 'Mat'!"

John is oh-so-happy to be panicking standing backstage, trying not to flail at costumes while trying to balance on his crutch and cane.

"Everybody ready?"


[ OOC: Establishy. Will be doing the working thing all day and do not have FH access. If y'all can't wait until 8pm EST, I may be able to play via AIM: jamesmovespeople ]

Phoebe takes a deep breath. "I'm all set."

Blair and maybe Dean were standing backstage to help everyone get into the costumes they had chosen.

Turbans (http://www.theredwire.com/images/5/cleo1.jpg) in multicolored fabrics, parachute pants (http://www.bubbygram.com/performers/mchammercpl.jpg), big gold hoop earrings and lots of beads. There were even crystal balls for the performers to carry.

Dawn stared at the turbans and pants and wondered what the 1980s had to do with Christmas. "Um...why?"

Re: Prophecy: Performance

[identity profile] lovechildblair.livejournal.com 2006-12-09 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
"It's wise man chic." Blair nodded with a very happy grin. "Don't forget your earrings!"

Re: Prophecy: Performance

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2006-12-09 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Right, of course..." Dawn fastened the earrings on. "So, um, almighty costumer, hair up or down under the turban, and what kind of shirt?"

It occurred to her that the lack of shirt might be Dean's contribution to the costume.

"Um. Hippie dude? My cast says no to the 80s pants."

Blair raised an eyebrow at John and shook his head. "John, we've been going to school together for a year. I'm pretty sure you know my name. If you don't feel free to ask someone for help."

"Secondly, Mr. Phale put Dean and I in charge of costumes. The cast can either wear the pants or perform without them. Since I'm pretty sure that nudity isn't what the administration had in mind for the pageant why don't you just put on the pants."

"Yup!"

Why she's wearing her bride of Frankenstein costume from Halloween is a mystery.

Well, it's not like anybody TOLD her what sort of costume to wear.

John counts off with his cane. How bad could "Do You Hear What I Hear?" be?"

Phoebe stepped up to the microphonse since she had the first verse.

"Said the night wind to the little lamb,
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite.""

Re: Prophecy: Performance: Solos

[identity profile] strongestgirl.livejournal.com 2006-12-08 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing thru the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?


A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Re: Prophecy: Performance: Solos

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2006-12-09 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold."

John was totally focussing on his solo, and was in no way stressing over his costume.

John is not facepalming (or headcrutching) as he counts off for the Holiday Medley.

Walter is there. Ready to dance? Yes. Dance. There.

Needless to say, he's less than delighted. But he's there. Dancing.

Re: Prophecy: Performance

[identity profile] cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com 2006-12-08 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
As was Anders.

Who was not exactly dancing so much as doing a double-time rendition of Pyramid footwork drills, with the occasional front snap kick thrown in thanks to Fitness and Energy class this morning.

And jazz hands. Because jazz hands were kind of necessary.

Re: Prophecy: Performance

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-12-08 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Jazz hands were not just necessary, they were obligatory. So Walter jazz handed along with Anders. With less exercise-based steps and more actual dance, since El Professor was around somewhere.

Dawn was there as well, which was a new and intriguing change from Monday. She was kind of just moving...rhythmically...to the music, with some arm movements, turns, and back arches kind of thrown in. It was particularly difficult to keep her turban on her head as she bent over backwards and it was interfering with the flow.

"What's with the jazz hands?" She whispered when she got close to Walter and Anders.

During the medley, something about the argument he had with Angela and watching Bel all day rubs him the wrong way. He probably should have thought a little more before singing out loud:

Jingle Bells! Angela Smells!
Belthazor laid an egg!
The demon's gone!
I'm not wrong!
But the girlfriend lost her head!

Yeah. Probably not the best thing to sing.

React to the performance.

Wilson watched through a little view finder from the audience. He cracked up at a couple of the costumes and the jazz handing and couldn't help thinking how much Aziraphale was going to love watching this when the angel got home.

Evie applauded for Blair and Dawn wholeheartedly, because really, what did she know of modern dance? It was very impressive!

From the wings, Angela watched the performance, especially Marty's contribution.

At first her brain couldn't understand what he was saying, but when she made sense of it, humiliated tears ran down her face. She thought they were working through their disagreement, but now ...

It was war.
