With a lot of hugs and tears, my first musical in high school has officially come to an end. Since the play ended I had been looking forward to the musical, and now it’s over. I’m going to miss everyone so much, and I’m already looking forward to next year.
Thank you everyone for the long car rides, car ride karaoke, a lot of Starbucks— even if it ended up on the floor, and amazing memories full of laughter and singing. I already miss hanging out in the places I don’t really belong such as people’s dressing rooms and the tech area. I miss being forced to warm up with the cast just because we were bringing gifts up. I miss the memories and the people.
Alex and Aubrey: thank you for literally everything. Alex, thank you for driving us everywhere. The car rides were some of my favorite moments of the entire thing. Our trip to Lowell and around town, and even our car rides that were just to Forest Hills Foods or to the FAC. Aubrey, I already miss walking around with you even if it was just the countless trips to the lobby. I miss visiting the tech area with you and I miss talking and laughing with you.
Jacob and Sully: thank you for letting me in your dressing room. Jacob, you’re honestly one of the nicest and most trusting people I know. I can’t believe that you just handed us your car keys when we couldn’t find Alex’s and you just let us take your car. Thank you for the hugs and the high fives, and I’m proud of you for getting through all of the shows. Sully, thanks for not hating Aubrey and I for hanging out in your dressing room. Also, thank you for taking me home from the cast party because I had so much fun screaming songs from the Spelling Bee with you.
Micah and Megan: thank you for being the sweetest people in the world. I had so much fun talking to you guys backstage during the show. Micah, I loved getting daily hugs. I loved the car rides with you, and I miss seeing you every day. Megan, I’m going to miss you so much. I’m so glad that I met you this year and I can’t believe you’re graduating.
Henry and Aiden: thanks for letting Aubrey and I hang out with you guys. I loved our high fives every time we saw each other. Henry, thank you for not hating me and Aubrey for hanging out with you. I had so much fun walking around the FAC with you and Aubrey, and I really enjoyed talking with you during the shows. Aiden, thanks for being the most trustworthy person I know. I’m so proud of you for stepping up during the dress rehearsal. You’re definitely the best fake actor I know. It was so fun talking with you during show week, and I’m so glad we became friends.
Jake, Toby, Alex, Abby, Audrey, Micah, Aubrey, and Aiden: I had so much fun at IHOP. Toby, I’m not really sure how you got there, but I’m so glad you came. It was so much fun getting to know you and making those memories. Jake, Henry, and Aiden, I’m not sure how, but you always seem to make the cast party so much fun. Thank you guys for being the weirdest people when you’re all together, and being some of the funniest people I know.
Gia, Paige, and Josie: you guys have the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard. I’m going to miss you guys so much next year. Gia, thank you for the hugs during the last show. I really had no idea how much I needed them.
If I didn’t mention you, just know that I’m still so incredibly thankful for all of you. I miss you guys so much already, and I’m really looking forward to next year. Seniors, I’m going to miss you guys so much and I hope you guys come back to visit. I’m so proud of every single one of you, and I’ll see most of you next year.
Thank you FHC Theater for making my first year so amazing.
