After a morning rehearsal, for the first time in the week the contestants were all allowed a few hours off! I was checked out by my director, and then headed to practice piano for a few hours at family friends' house (thank you John and Roxy!!). After piano, I headed to grab a few things at Macy's, and then relaxed with a coffee and to catch up on e-mails. And at 6 sharp (not a single minute late, and no more than 15 minutes early), we met back at the hotel for an enjoyable showing of the film "Miss Congeniality".
If you have ever seen the movie "Miss Congeniality", then you already have a very good feel for what this week looks like. There have been several incidents through out the week when I (and others) have stopped and laughed because, naturally so, what we are doing is identical to what is portrayed in "Miss Congeniality's" Miss United States week. But it makes sense given that the script of the movie was framed after the Miss America pageant system!
Similarities include rehearsals, transportation, meals, regulations, and the details within all of these, etc. etc. Watching the film together, and we all laughed and laughed (and spoke out our favorite parts) as so many parts were even more relevant and "deja vu" like as we watched them again after experiencing it for ourselves :). I personally took claim to the terrible, off-beat and un-synchronized dancing Sandra Bullock's character portrays during rehearsal, as well as her terribly embarrassing fall in front of the audience (read my Day 3 blog ;) ).
Here is a clip from Miss Congeniality. Check out 1:25 - 1:35, 2:40 - 2:53 for an idea of my dancing skills during rehearsal :)
