Hello!
Attached are Tommying notes from when we first did Westerhope at DERT.
I don't mind the calling-on song, and maybe the first bit, but other than that it's pretty poor. (The film makes me physically cringe with embarrassment!)
We can do soooo much better this year: we know the dance and can really set the patter around it, plus Sue knows all the top Tommying tips so can make sure we stick to 'best practice' - which will help with points.
The obvious places for maximum buzz are - 4th corner jumps, tipping guard, 6 person coming in and 6 person lock. And I thought it was really funny yesterday when Sue acknowledged that the chorus is a something you'll see a few times (look away now).

Hi everybody,
We agreed today that we would like to have a tommy for Westerhope if possible, and Laura suggested that they should wear the top hat and tails of the music hall compere. We were going to discuss ideas for things to say and try to write a script that someone
might be happy using (people who said today that they might consider it were Laura W's Paul, Sue and Becky, but if anyone else is interested, do say so!).
Hannorah, you had some script ideas from a couple of years ago - can you send them round to start us off please?
Thanks,
Rachel x
