Name: Joy Vaughn 

Role:  Singing Teacher

How long have you been involved with Gang Show:  Ooooo, 20 years, I started in make-up in 92, performed in my first show in 94, joined the production team in 96, carried on performing until 2000 then remained an Assistant Producer til this year... my first year teaching the singing, terrified and seriously excited!!!

How are you involved in Scouting/Guiding: I came to scouting late (18) as i was involved in Boys Brigade and Girls Brigade beforehand... I started as a Scout Leader, but due to home commitments i have changed roles, Brownie Leader, Youth Fellowship, non-uniformed Beaver Leader,,, but now i have 4 kiddies of my own, Gang Show is my contribution.

What are your aims for Gang Show: Fun... and I want everyone to feel the exhilaration when you've given a performance your everything and more and the audience give it all back in applause... it's immense!

What's the best thing about being involved with the show: The people, cast and crew, some of my best friends are here... but it's everyone involved! The laughs, the tears, the friendship, watching the kids grow... it's all amazing!

What other interests do you have outside of Gang Show: My kiddies take up most of my time to be honest... I love scuba diving but havn't done it for years... camping! Singing, singing and more singing! Socializing when i get a chance.. dancing...

If Gang Show had an unlimited budget what would you do: I'd like us to perform on a stage big enough to cater for all those who would love to be involved, but with the quality of the show we currently have!

What's your most embarrassing moment on and off stage: Hmmm, on stage, getting the moves wrong in Vogue (to my relief when i got off stage everyone said they just copied me as i was in the front! Love 'em) Off stage, nearly dropping Charlotte in rehearsals for 1864!
