Another visit at Corn Hall in Diss checking and discussing technical options, (fire-escapes and security)rules with the staff: how and where can the orchestra and choir be placed, how do singers approach the stage, how can singers be made aware to come down from 1st floor when they have to do their part? What options for stage/set-designs are available? What options are available for promotion.

A first rehearsal-meeting of most of the cast, directed by Peter Creswell with Matthew McCombie on the piano.
Selina got introduced to a song called "Welcome Heroes" that will open the second half of the show: It is a Charleston-styled two-step, originally planned for a tenor now rewritten for soprano voice and possibly supported by a group of dancers.
