glee.

Glee is a musical comedy television series that airs on Fox. It focuses on a high school show choir, also known as a glee club, set within the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio.

So far only the pilot episode has been aired but the rest of the season will begin airing on September 9 later this year.

Kind of reminds me of Cempaka, in whimsical and bright way. Definitely caught my attention right after the first few seconds of the trailer.

This is absolutely joining Heroes, Star Wars: The Clone Wars & Lost in my list of followed television series.

& It Comes To An End.

Two months of acting, music and dance come to an end in an explosion of colour, light, emotion and motion. Our last show became the crowning jewel in our latest run of Cempaka Box-Office Musicals.

In the end, all (including several members of the audience) shed tears to the end of yet another musical season.

This musical has captured the vision and the many experiences of most of our lives here at a school that takes focus on the performing arts. It starts off typically with the application forms and the anticipation of entering said school. What follows after is the different paths each of us take throughout the journey of highschool, for good or for worse.

Of course, this all ends with the graduation day. Familiar faces clad in academic regalia with coloured hoods stand around the stage, singing a tune marking the end of that journey and the beginning of an entirely new odyssey.

This production has had some truly memorable and unexpected moments. Take for instance the show of the 16^th: The Show of Spontaneity. Saxxy, my lovely Saxophone, wasn't in the hall that night and I ended up "being late" for Mr. Sheinkopf's class.


"And why are you late, Mr. King?!"
"Oh, urm... Tuning."

And then you've got the last show, which was absolutely shiz magnificent. Every scene, every routine and every line turned out and trumped our expectations. The last scene was made ever more dramatic with several of us actually breaking down on the stage; a few of the main cast couldn't even finish their solos! Truly a movie-esque moment and not something you see everyday.

Don't get me started on the cast. This year we've got an amazing cast starring in the production. Not only are they talented on stage, they're mighty friendly off stage. I've met a few friends during the course of these two months that I think I'll be keeping for the foreseeable future.

Bugger.

It's the Summer Break. Finally, five weeks of a well-deserved holiday.

But oh, what's this? I've been thrust back to school for extra classes.

While I'm at it, Cempaka Beat practise for next week's Commencements and (most probably) a dance routine for said event finish off the time after class.

Don't get me wrong, the classes have been great and all -- I get to see my friends again, plus the classes aren't exactly the serious and simply talking types. Though I can't tell you how many times I've been pulling the Captain Jack Sparrow face; especially during the Add. Math period.
