As the heading already suggests, we are on our final approach to the Tattoo, in which over three thousand students will perform over six huge nights. Today was the first rehearsal for Newlands which went alright, all though some pretty dubious decision making caused hundreds of students to have to walk to and from Newlands in the rain for a ten minute lunch break. Luckily the whole plan for filming the tattoo seems to be coming together, with Mr. Bell being his usual stressful self scoffing at every idea that was thrown his way, however a compromise was worked out which means we will possibly be hiring two vision mixers and a couple of good cameras which will hopefully record the tattoo in impecable detail, however Luke mentioned that we have some old vision mixers so we’ll see if they can be used.

Hopefully tomorrow proves to be a slightly less stressful day with there being no scheduled rehearsals, and thank god Newlands’ rehearsal on Wednesday was cancelled, which leaves me two Tattoo free days in which I can catch up on school work.

And finally, Cross Country went of without a hitch and I managed to score some pretty good photos which Lawson was happy about, now we only have athletics, triathlon and middleschool touch to photograph and the magazine is virtually complete on the sporting front.

One final note, if you have the opportunity you should definitely see the Tattoo with there being over 40 moving lights and countless other techno goodies to wet your appetite, now only if they put some good acts on stage then the Tattoo would be the best show ever conceived to man, but you can’t win them all. Tickets are $20 for Adults and $12 for children/students, call 9213 2222 to book your tickets.

Well I finally have a presence on the web, and after spending an hour trying to think of a good name for my blog (its not as easy as one might think). I finally ended up deciding on xD, with my memory card for my camera being the inspiration. I really don’t have much to say as today was fairly boring, just never ending Tattoo and Editorial commitments which by the will take up my entire Saturday, anyway I’m off to Braeside park tomorrow to get some ‘happy snaps’ of cross-country

The fun just never ends
