Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said? I've read countless entries over the last 2 days from the cast members of Music Man, and they all hold the same message, though in different words. And I, like each and every one of them, feels the same. That was the best experience of high school so far, and one of the best experiences of my life. I bonded with so many people, and got to know everyone so much better. I made new friends, and there's this strong sense of everyone coming together to create one spectacular thing that really shows how great it is. In fact, I can sum it all up in one sentence.
It was fucking amazing.
I can't describe how I felt about it, and I won't try to, because nothing I could ever put into words would do it justice. I am so sad that it's over. Unforgettable, everything about it. And circle closing night made me cry. The seniors, who I just started knowing in what, February? They made me cry. I didn't think I would, because I haven't known them as long as others of you have, but the speeches just made tears roll down my cheeks. And I took something from each and every senior speech to heart. As melodramatic as it sounds, I have a whole new outlook on high school. From now on, I'll take advantage of every opportunity. I'll enjoy the high school experience, instead of waiting for it to be over. I am so glad I got to know all of you, and I would never trade that experience for anything. From the beginning of auditions to the end of set strike (for those who came), I always felt welcome and really enjoyed being with all the people that made Music Man so great. I love you guys so much. To the seniors, good luck. I know you'll all do great in college, and I hope you'll come back to visit from time to time. I aspire up to all of you, and the best of luck in whatever path of life you may choose.
This was seriously one of the best experiences of my life, and I can't imagine it being over. The entire cast was amazing, truly amazing. Thank you everyone for showing me this wonderful opportunity to make high school worth it. And just to end on a lighter note:
Ryan Schwartz: That sucks.
Love,
