Dear Glow Show Company

Dear The Glow Show Company,

Thank you for giving our school free
tickets,  I loved your glow show so
much I was blown away what you did.
I was really astonished by how you did
all of the puppets like the nine stars, fish,
stingray and other puppets. 

I liked the sounds and how you made the
puppets move to make them look like
they were actually real life. I really like
the way you sang at the end it was
very nice also I was amazed by three
people doing all that you must have
been exhausted after the show. 

   

If I had a favorite character, It would
be the Taniwha because the tail was
so cool how you moved it. My second
favorite character was the satellite
because it made funny noises when
it said Dora square pants. My third favorite
character was the star that said my Instagram.

Thank for the great show

The thundering roar of the audience cheering along with clapping it was like a roaring tornado of noise. Adults cheering like we were famous. Footsteps strolling along the catwalk. Music played uniquelee in the auditorium well the crowd went wild about the different costumes.


I could taste disgusting cardboard mask over my face and the feathers that tickled my nose. I tasted the deluscious cookies, muffins and muesli bars I ate before I went on stage.

I could feel my sweaty hands slipping off my top to my sides. The feathers tickling my nose as I walk on stage ready for the lights to turn on.


I smell the strawberry fog drifting through the air and the sweat and body odor from the audience. The paint on my mask also I smell people's excitement. I smell the hair spray people are wearing.
