Last night was my final night on the Duchesne stage. Not for a production or anything rehearsed for countless days and finally performed. It was impromptu so to speak, taking only two days to practice, I would say it still went pretty well.
After plenty hours of wondering what would be the last song I would sing on that wonderful stage I have spent the bulk of my time on, I decided on "Over the Rainbow", you know from The Wizard of Oz. Something uplifting and Well I was all ready, but of course, while rehearsing during the last period of the day, I decided to sing some more (incredibly characteristic of me) and apparently, before I was even finished, the original song had been scratched from the list, and "I Dreamed a Dream" (from Les Mis) was scribbled in its place.
I don't know if it fits my present circumstances, I don't feel like life has killed the dream I dreamed, I mean sure, I my aspirations are much different than when I started high school, but I don't think that that's a bad thing.
Of course I will miss this place and people, and with the bridge of Keep Holding On, I will admit that I shed a couple of tears. Sentimentality I guess. I will still have the people that really matter to me close by, and I am sure that everything will be fine.
So, surrounded by the comforting smell of Rave hairspray, I walked onto that beautiful stage for the last time. I tried to leave it all on the stage. I will miss it, but I know it is in good hands.
Peace.
