Sorry, this post is long overdue, but at least I'm getting it up.
WA won Best Musical for Budget III.
They haven't performed in years, and it was notorious among the students that they never got nominated for anything. And this year, they won two major awards: Best Actor and Best Musical.
How does this thing happen? They looked really good performing. I didn't see their show, but I still find it hard to imagine that it was that much better than previous years. The way I see it, the Kelly judges have likely been holding out on them.
Nevertheless, I'm really happy for them. (And CK can return to dance class...)
We didn't win anything. I don't care that much, I never really did. I can't say I honestly expected us to win anything. If I had to pick one that we may have stood the best chance at, I would have said Best Direction, but it doesn't really matter.
I'm not sure what the best alternative to the Gene Kelly Awards would be. To everyone's credit, the environment was very friendly, and not overly competitive. Maybe a showcase of sorts, where some of the best shows are invited to perform, as well as the best actors and actresses. I don't know if enough people would come and see that though.
I did have a good time. However, I can't say that looking back it's going to be a highlight of the school year. I'm still more excited for my last dance show than anything else. I would do it again, though I'm glad it didn't get any more involved than a rehearsal and a run through the day of.
