& 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 16th: 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.
