We had one rehearsal that involved set painting as well. We all went to the mall in our crappy clothing covered with paint and with it in our hair and everything. Keep in mind, when you give high school kids buckets of paint things get a little wild. There was a massive paint fight before the mall. We got there, shopped, got the dirtiest looks and then went home. We took the subway home and had a mini vocal rehearsal on the train.
On weekend rehearsals, if we got out before it was too late, we'd walk to a nearby park and goofed off. We played on the playground, played basketball, and just acted like losers.
Another time, most of the cast came to my house (15 kids...two cars...fun) and wrote a song for our director that we sang on closing night. It wound up being all of us talking s**t about everyone, gossipping, and singing all day long.
For regular rehearsals, my best friend and I would stand on the stage and sing to each other or belt out random songs. Then we'd go home and sit in the car and talk for an hour. Great times...
