I've been busy all the weekend, so I didn't have time to write my report as a member of the Polka Dot Choir, but now.. HERE WE GO!
As I said I was in the choir (second time), but I queued from the morning to stay with some friends. Anyway, at 4 PM the other choir members and me met at the back entrance and we came in, where we met the staff (they're really really nice people), we signed some stuff and went to our dressing room. We chatted a little bit just to get to know each other (and I wanna thank everyone in the choir, I'm happy to had the opportunity to meet you ).
Then Tim, Max, Joy and Curtis came to our room to teach us the songs, that was really funny, because Max is always joking and you can see how they are genuinely happy to work together.
After that they told us to wait for Mika to come to the soundcheck, so we tried some songs together. After a while we heard Mika's voice, and we went to watch the soundcheck, they tried popular A LOT and then Mika saw us and told us to come on the stage. He asked where we were from, he remembered I was in the choir before, and we started singing two songs, Everything was really relaxed, and that's the moment I enjoyed most of that night! They tried some other songs, he talked to Melachi from the stage, he ate, and drunk some tea, and he chatted with us from one song and the other; I have really lovely memories of this moment. Then we came back to our room and Yasmine came to take us to the wardrobe to take our dresses; here there was Mel (so sweet), and Mika, who spoke a little bit with me and another guy about Mel. At 8.15 PM we were called to go backstage to do some reharsal with Mika and the band, so so funny and emotional: we did some strange noises with our voice, we stretched our legs and we jumped strongly, then we sang celebrate and he nominated me leader of the group because he loved how I was moving during the song, and he told everybody to follow me during the gig. After that he wished us "Good luck!" in our language, told us to have fun, and not to think of anything else, because it doesn't care if we did something wrong If we were having fun, and then he went on stage!
The gig went pretty well, even if I know we were not the best choir, but I had so much fun dancing like crazy!
After the gig we met him and we took our pics quickly because he had a lot of other m&g, and we left, happy and feeling like we were in a dream!
I can never thank enough Team Mika to give us these wonderful opportunities, I will never forget anything!
