My involvement in this show has been between one third and one fourth of what it was for Little Mermaid. I haven't felt very involved in this show at all. In fact, I missed almost all of Tech Week, and opening night. GZ was the choreographer, and she did a good job with it. I just wasn't a whole lot of help.
The matinee show went well. It was certainly not the same show that I had seen that previous Monday. This show had a lot more energy, and it seems that the cast had begun to embrace the silliness that the show needs. There were a few screw ups, (most notably in KM and GS's scene), but the cast handled them well.
Between the shows was a fun time with piano playing and socializing, as well as getting ready for the next show. The high schoolers all made 60 second speeches. I don't remember what I said, and I'm pretty sure it made no sense at all.
The second show went well. At least as good as the first. And it finally got the standing ovation that KR deemed so important to the show's success. KR and MC were crying after the show because it was their last middle school show. The other 8th graders realized that they would now be moving on to bigger and better things.
After the show was the cast party, which I must say was my least favorite of all time. It was loud, and the beginning was a lot of dancing, and I can't dance. Eventually, the karaoke started, and that helped things a lot. I sang Americain Pie. Then I made my worst mistake ever.

Biggest Mistake Ever
I left without saying goodbye.

Now listen. I was so upset because the middle school show has been such a huge part of shaping who I am. Nobody else was in Millie, N. Just MC and me. The other 8th graders that were cried too, later in the party. I'm justified in saying that the show in the middle school is so diffrent than the high school show. You have said that yourself. I'm upset about leaving, yet I understand that I'm going on to bigger things. Please do not look down on me for being upset about leaving some of me behind in this show. Also, there won't be any more shows with you. As well, everything I worked for over the last four months came to an end right there. We got a standing ovation. It was a cry of joy and sadness. I believe that I am 100% justified. From sixth grade to now, I'm the person I am because of the QVMS shows. Looking back, I'm glad I cried. I never would have wanted anything else. I'm elated to have been in Millie, Mermaid, and especially Bugsy.
