SWAB! The making of a Stomp number

Today we worked out the stomp number which was so much fun. We went to "the library" during drama class and ended up with 8 new mops and two metal buckets. After student council we all got together and began working some beats out and had tonnes of fun. We had a bit of an issue with the mobs because they expelled fluff whenever they were moved (and in a stomp number they get moved around quite a bit). The fluff was every where and by the end of our rehearsal the stage looked like it was covered in fake snow. What was worse though was that the fibres would get in our eyes and down our throats and it there was something in them that made your eyes burn. We plan to dip the brooms in some sort of chemical or hairspray them so the fluff doesn’t fly so much. It was so much fun to do though and after a bit more polishing it will be really cool.
