Proverbs 29:18

I've been working pretty hard on this event called Stunt Night. It's sponsored by the sophomore class. The idea is that each class gets together and puts on a 15 minutes skit with a 5 minute song and dance.
The freshman class has had some struggles. At one of the first meetings, one of our directors gave out some ideas and the other director said that they were stupid. The first director saw no reason to stick around if his ideas weren't going to be appreciated, so he left, leaving only the second director to do it all.
After about a week of practice, one of the guys acting in the skit asked me to take his place. I did. Since then, it's been ridiculous. I'm enjoying it, I'm loving that I get to work this much with everybody and get to know people better, but it is bordering on the edge of organized chaos.
We have too many chiefs, and not enough braves. And the truth is, most of our chiefs would be better braves and vice versa. It's coming together, but it's a painful process because two or three girls are trying to take charge, but a few of them lack the vision and understanding of how much work it takes to make it solid.
Tonight, for example.
We were supposed to practice the dance. I wanted to hit the dance a couple of times for practice, and then get together with the four leads (myself, Garrett Smith, Katie Leibert, Autumn Woolsey) and run lines and talk about the flow of the show. Instead, we spent the entire time doing the dance at full speed. About half way through practice, I interjected and said, "Hey, let's stop this. Let's do the dance, but do it slowly. Instead of one two three four five six seven eight, let's go one.....two.....three.....four.....five.....six.....seven.....eight, without the music so we can get the mechanics down." We did this once and it worked, and then the chief took charge again and it wasn't good.
I'm stressing about a lot of this because apparently most of the people wanting to run the show lack the vision to make it work. I'm not saying that I have the vision and it will be glorious if everyone listened to me. I'm saying that it takes practice, hard work, and creativity to take what we've got and make it good. I don't want to be demanding and mean to everyone I work with, but I'm not about to put up with anymore crap from people who do not understand what's going on. I don't pretend to have all the answers, I just know what it means to have a vision, work hard and get results.
