I am involved in our local Gang Show (a variety show performed by Scouts and Guides). For the past few years I have written and produced the Junior Gang number for the Cubs, Brownies, younger Scouts and younger Guides, sometimes with original songs and sometimes with well-known pieces. We rehearse each week from September through to February and then give 5 performances at the largest venue in town. This year we had a total audience of just under 3,000.
The children are not professionals and for many of them, it's their first time on stage. There are normally about 40 kids in the number but once they are on stage, they are out there on their own. In 7 years they have never let me down and I have every reason to be proud of them.
