Talent Show Committee 2015

At our school, there was an annual Talent Show and every year the ones put in charge of pulling it off were the Seniors. Being a senior myself this was a huge deal - how it went was how the Class of 2015 would be remembered. We made up our Talent Show Committee just a few weeks before it went on, and it took us nearly a week to think of a theme, which was titled "The Grand Act".

We then began to give out roles for the seniors to do, from the Tech Team to the backstage crew, the hosts, and even the set and program designers. I was the program designer and the host, and working together with the girls was probably the most fun (and stressful) I've had in quite a while. There was a bit of procrastination that went on, however, and by the time we realized that the talent show would be in a week - we panicked. But you know how they say, "Some people work well under pressure."? Yes. That's exactly what happened. 

In a matter of a few days the entire auditorium was decorated with the grandeur (HA!) theme, the program design was made and sent out to the printing press, and the final revisions for the program and the scripts were completed. It was like watching those time lapse videos, where you could see everything move in a fast-forward motion and it was pretty cool knowing that I was a part of it.  

One thing I've learned, is that pressure and the desire to do good at something, is what brings people together. Amidst all our differences, and our conflicting ideas, we all managed to collaborate and work together to make "The Grand Act" a success.
