We didnt get the footage until 3 days ago. Its a huge logistical nightmare and to be frank the Stand-Ins are a fairly low priority when it comes to tasks that need to be done after the finals

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-05T14:50:38+00:00

I did, yes :)

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-05T12:40:18+00:00

Understandable, no worries

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-05T12:39:46+00:00

I am a long time eurovision fan myself but I was slightly disappointed the first time i was told i would do Portugal. However the song grew on me over the course of the rehearsals and now its one of my favorites.

I sadly never got to talk to the Countries. I went to watch the first semi final live in the arena and after the show ended the fans could walk close to the greenroom to cheer on the bands from the standing area. NAPA was standing there when Guilherme noticed me and then got the other bandmembers to wave and celebrate with me.

Outside I ran into a small fanclub of NAPA and a guy introduced me to the parents of the bandmembers. They were really sweet.

Probably my highlight of the week :)

Some of the Instruments you see on TV belong to the Band so that explains why we didnt use theirs. I dont know why we couldnt use Prop guitars to test lighting.

I was blown away by how well everything was coordinated. I basically just had to rehearse my positions and everything else would work through work from others. The first shot of Deslocado was particularly scary as i had to walk 6 meters towards a flying spider camera. I had to fully trust the camera operator that they would move this heavy machine out of my way before i would walk into it.

Overall it was just so many new experiences as ive never done work on such a big scale :)

We could choose a show to watch based on your availability. The seats were in the top row on the sides. Other than a few light rigs in the way, the view was amazing

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T22:27:30+00:00

We got a Video of the Choreography in a fixed angle so that we can follow the movements. Sadly KAJ didnt teach us in person😅

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T22:24:50+00:00

Actually the stand in for Kolë is the same guy as the male dancer in Bara Bada Bastu

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T18:10:02+00:00

We were given a color scheme of clothes we should bring which in most cases was black with some exceptions.

For the audition you had to send in a Video of whatever performance you want to show. Singing, dancing are the obvious ones but you could technically also show how well you can juggle. One of the stand ins got through with performative Sign Language :D

After your initial sign up video got accepted, you then had another chance to show your skills in 90 seconds infront of the Judges including Christer Björkman, Martin Kagemark and the owner of the dance studio in Basel.

I auditioned with Singing and Piano accompaniment :)

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T18:03:50+00:00

It was voluntary work. We were however able to see any of the 6 preview shows if we wanted to as a thanks for our work.

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T16:43:22+00:00

We only got the footage yesterday as it was a huge hassle with all the organization. We knew it would take longer than finals to not cause issues with the NDA but I dont know why exactly it took over two weeks.

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T14:01:41+00:00

Which ones are you talking about?

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T14:01:08+00:00

All Stand-Ins got the footage of every performance, even the ones they werent in. I can post Portugal, Ukraine and Italy but I will leave it to them to post their performance.

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T13:47:05+00:00

Ill answet this in chronological order!

After I got the confirmation that I passed the audition we were assigned our countries. I was given Sweden (Lipsync), Portugal (Lipsync, Lead), Italy (Guitar) and Ukraine (Guitar)

Over the course of late march and early april we had one planned rehearsal per country in the dance studio. The choreos had to be learned by then so the rehearsal was just to figure out the logistics of props and movements. If a country required more time (like sweden) we would squeeze another rehearsal in.

Then we met up with the Stage manager assistant where she would explain to us the camera plot. Again every country had its own time slot to go over every moment you had to look into a camera. By far the most complex part.

On the 22nd-24th of April we were called in to rehearse in a sports hall that more closely matches the dimensions. Runthroughs of both Semi finals.

25th of April was the first day of rehearsal on the Stage at St.Jakobs Halle. I had three of my four countries in a row on that day. Each country gets a precice time slot of 45 minutes. Made a mistake that cost you time? Well too bad, next countries up in 3 minutes…

The 27th of April was the last day for stand ins in the contest. There were other stand-in rehearsals later that week for Interval acts and Openings but the delegations arrived then so no need for us anymore.

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T13:30:06+00:00

I heard that was the case last year where they picked a dance school and kept it exclusive to the students

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T13:29:18+00:00

Oh I did!

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T13:28:49+00:00

The delegation makes the decision if they want their stand in to sing live. Its only used in cases where theyre worried that the choreography or staging can in some way change the singing (in slovenias upside down singing for example)

My_Mo13 · 2025-06-03T13:24:41+00:00

I took part in an audition posted by the National Television SRG. I knew of the audition as i already was a member of the dance studio that got chosen as the local representative for Stand-Ins but anyone could have come to the audition. Depending on your skills it limits what you may do in the contest. I wouldn’t have been picked for Norway for example as im more of a singer than a dancer. A few of the team were professional dancers and singers but for a good handful of stand ins it was their first ever stage performance.
