Musical Reflection ( June 10, 2012)

With the " Yo eee ho, yo ho"s still fresh in my mind  I sit down to type tonight's entry. Yesterday night was big. It was the finale of this school year's event and the hard work we had contributed all year. Dorothy, Tin man, Toto, Scarecrow, and the lion finally embraced their journey across the yellow brick road in front of real audiences. They did a magnificent job I'd say. Every emotion was exaggerated to an extent and the energy level was radiant. The orchestra did quite a magnificent job as well. For a total of two hours and a half, we squinted down in our tiny black chairs and poured our hearts out. We played until we became indifferent to the audience and everyone else. The only thing in our minds were the notes  and to get them right. I got many notes wrong, that I could say. In general, I was happy that people were so devoted. I will not claim to deny the fact that I had scoffed , yes, at complaints shot at us through practice, but in the end, it seemed like it was all worth it. Next year I think I will still join the orchestra and the year after that and the year after that. It will be quite interesting. Anyway, the musical is an excellent way to draw this school year to a conclusion.
