9am what a lie in! Though we would be needing it as the next two days would be pretty early starts. The day started straight into mustering at QCS again with a few more attempts at the stairs and the square again. Mastering both with a few minor niggles it was off to lunch and then on the coaches to head for the Royal Albert Hall for our first rehearsals. The feeling we all got as we pulled outside the Hall was out of this world, it was actually becoming a little bit real as we all got our passes and entered. What an unbelievable sight! What an incredible feeling! Everyone now was starting to feel the pride and the nerves.
Even though we had to wait around for quite a long time we got to watch Alexandra Burke rehearse and some of the bands which was a great sight to see. Suddenly we were all called up and sent to our required positions. A few more practises down some flights of stairs and we were good to go... To wait around for a little longer. With the anticipation building we were all very eager to get down the actual stairs to see what they would really be like. Our time came and we were off! Everyone was trying to keep in time and concentrate so hard that I think it threw us a little. As soon as we were down onto the floor our short march started then we were stood to attention together as one. We waited for the others to join with more music as a video being played on the tv screens. I could instantly feel my eyes starting to well with the immense pride I felt and I'm sure everyone else did as well. A couple of sore feet later it started to get very hot and bless one of the medics and to take a seat. It was very hot and this was only practise what was it going to be like Saturday?! Only tomorrow would tell.
Everyone will be feeling nervous tonight lets hope we all get some sleep as tomorrow would be the proudest day of our lives.
