 TP: The practices right before the shows.  They’re always the most fun. 

MS:  Do you get nervous during the shows?

 TP:  I got nervous the first time, but not really any more.

 MS:  How have you improved while being on the team? 

TP:  With practice I’ve gotten more confidence performing and learned how to play the different games.   My skills interatcting with the audience have gotten better, too.

 MS:  Describe your teammates.

 
TP:  Very spontaneous.  There’s so many different types of people from many standings in the social ladder.  It’s [the team] is just us being kids, allowing us to express ourselves without conforming.
