Gaga might have it right. What was important to us at one point in our lives may be completely different now. Tonight I was back at the annual Rock Show at a local high school. My friend’s son is in his last year and he did an amazing job with his solo piece, “I’m Too Sexy.”
I knew two other students who also rocked the show: one was having a blast in her stiletto white boots when I think normally she is a shy, reserved girl and the other was poised in all her performances as she is other times on stage talking to large crowds. I watched some female students nervously pull down short skirts and some male students awkwardly dance while some girls flaunted what they had, posing for the cameras and some guys rocked out with their guitar solos. This evening is always a walk down memory lane for me. I loved high school and was grateful for having places where I plugged in and felt safe.
I knew almost all the songs from this year’s theme of Glitter and Glam: Space Oddity, Bang a Gong, Ballroom Blitz, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, and Mickey to name a few. I usually go on the closing night but because I will be out of town went to the opening instead. I love watching the graduating class thank the staff that put on the event. I will miss that this year.
What memories do you have from high school? What music was playing at your soc hops/dances? What things don’t you care about anymore?
Peace,
Suzanne
