R U Ready for This?

WE ARE!!!

We are so ready to get this world record attempt started. All week we have been putting the final touches on the show and making sure that everything is ready to go for Monday. We took a trip to Ikea on Tuesday to purchase storage boxes in various sizes (as well as eat some delicious meatballs) and popped over to B&Q to get some tools and a ladder.

Wednesday was spent rehearsing at St. Mary's Church in Potters Bar. We wanted to get an idea of how the show would look in a church, since we have already set up in schools and a theatre. Turns out that it is still going to look awesome!

Thursday was a big day, as we were introduced to arguably the most important member of the Act 4 World Record Team. His name is Clancy, and he's got style. See for yourself -

We were very excited to meet him and are quickly becoming the closest of friends.

There are only a few more things on our to-do lists, but mostly we are just waiting to start the clock. The next time you hear from us, we'll be making history!

Thanks for all your prayers and support. =)

Come together, right now

In one week from today, our World Record Attempt will officially begin!  It's crazy to think that we have been preparing for this for over six months, and now we have just six days to get everything finished.  No worries, though, because we are so close to being ready.

Last week we took a break (some more than others) to rest and relax before we hit the road for 50 days.  We decided to ease ourselves back into work by doing our first dress rehearsal in front of a live audience.  It was a lot of work to get everything for this one, since we had to take multiple trips in the green car and hadn't rehearsed in over a week.  Fortunately, the audience was great, and the show went off without a hitch.  It was eye-opening to dress rehearse in a more realistic setting, and I think it gave us confidence in our ability to work through any difficulties during the actual attempt.  Plus, it was great to finally perform for some children after working on this for so long.

So this week we are back in the office, polishing the show while continuing to invite people to see Star Citizen.  Keep an eye out this week in the Hertfordshire Mercury and the Barnet & Potters Bar Times for articles about the show, and don't forget to buy your ticket!

When the going gets tough, the tough get going

Up to 48 venues, only 2 more needed! So we are getting there. The last two weeks have been spent rehearsing the show. It has meant long days, but it is all worth it when it eventually comes together.Not only have we been rehearsing in the hall at the office, but we have also had the opportunity to test everything out at the local theatre. It is strange to think that the next time we set up there it will be for out last show on the 19th July!!

It was great being on the stage and having the lights and the set; it looks brilliant. It is amazing what only three people can put together. We have also been trying hard to get audiences to come to the show its going to be great! So if you're reading this - don't miss out.

A holiday next week for some of us. Hopefully it will help us get our energy back so we are ready for 50 amazing performances.

Under Pressure

So many excited things are happening in the office right now, and they're happening at break-neck speed. Here's what has been going on, in numbers:

• We now have 48 out of 50 venues! Only 2 more to go!!
• Our awesome team of volunteers has contacted 180+ primary schools around the country, inviting them to our show.
• We have made initial contact with over 250 media outlets in Hertfordshire and the surrounding area, including local papers, magazines, radio programmes, and even TV!
• We have officially confirmed the dates of our record attempt with Guinness World Records
• The team has put in countless hours this week trying to work on elements of the show so that we can begin rehearsing next week.

As you can see, we have a lot going on and a lot of people to talk to. Our volunteers have been tremendous help phoning around, but the list just keeps growing, and our helpers are limited. We are starting to feel a bit under pressure as the team tries to juggle getting the show ready and handling all of these new administrative tasks. We are trying our best not to let it overwhelm us, but the attempt begins in just one month. We ask for your prayers that we can successfully manage all that we need. We appreciate all of the support that we have received.
