Seeing too much 'backstage'

[ccp1]

My choir and I are leaving next Thursday to perform for our 4th Magic Music Days, and I now make sure to prep them for the idea that 'Backstage' at Disney is quite different than 'On Stage' (they even know to look for the change in ground color that signifies the sightlines. Since many of my students are also budding actors and actresses, they really get into the concept of 'what the audience sees on stage is different than what is backstage'. It's fun for them.

The Magic Music Days director's manual considers the bands and choirs 'Disney Guest-Performers', with a number of performance-rules to make sure that their performance is up to "the Disney Standards that our park guests expect". So, for the time that they are backstage and on-stage, they really aren't considered guests, and the director probably could have prepared them for what they would see.

Well, everyone has to wind down sometime.

Although I wasn't a CM in the parks, I did get to see a lot of back stage and have been in the tunnels numerous times. Trust me, what you have seen won't ruin your magic as much as what I have seen!!!! I'll just leave it as that!!!
