Being a GY, I have already faced moments of nostalgia, as well as profound moments of sadness as I come upon the realization that I am doing something in plaid for the last time. My last first day of high school, my last Installation and my last Halloweek have come and passed, and at each of these events I took a moment to realize how much I will miss them. However, I had not experienced this feeling in its entirety until I took a bow on the closing night of Grease, my final performance ever at Branksome. Being a member of the Senior School Production for the past three years has been an absolute privilege, filled with laughs, amazing people, and a lot of hairspray and lipstick. This particular production was by far my favourite that I have ever been in, for a dozen reasons. I was constantly surrounded by talented, hard-working and enthusiastic girls (and boys!) who never failed to impress, uplift and inspire me at each rehearsal. As well, this year Ms Friend and Ms Olfert were joined by Mr. Harbin, the conductor of the phenomenal band that accompanied us, and Ms Wood, Branksome’s first-ever dance teacher! Ms Wood worked tirelessly with the cast, and presented us with the most complex and amazing choreography we have ever done! She inspires others around her to love dancing as much as she does, and she filled the show with the highest level of dance the Branksome Senior School Production has ever seen.
Like any production, the making of Grease was not always smooth sailing. Six rehearsals a week were long and sometimes difficult to endure, and not even the generous supply of pizza that we were given could make us forget about the homework we should have been doing. Also, seeing as I was cast as Jan, a pink lady described as being a “compulsive eater who is loud and pushy with the girls, shy with the boys,” I spent a lot of time at rehearsal working up the nerve to finally eat a Twinkie. Save your money girls, it’s really not something you need to try. One of my largest challenges was deciphering how to say my lines while chewing large quantities of food, but this was nothing if not worth it. I would eat 100 Twinkies if it meant I could be in another Branksome production… OK, maybe not 100 but at least five.
The memories that I bring with me from this show, as well as those before it, are some of the memories that I will look back upon the most fondly as I reflect on my Branksome career. Whether it’s getting hit in the face by Patty Simcox’s (Kyra Church) ponytail at every rehearsal, watching Danny Zuko (Christian Figuerido) say the line “Sandy!” 800 different ways, stepping on and/or accidentally injuring every single guy I danced with, quoting Legally Blonde in every possible moment, or spending hours trying to understand how Dorothy became Amelia Earhart in The Wizard of Oz, these moments define one of the largest aspects of my Branksome life and I would not trade them for anything.
Thank you to everyone who came out to see the show. Your laughter and applause made every rehearsal (and Twinkie) worth it. Grease cast and crew, thanks for the memories; we literally go together (like wop bop a lu mop a wop bam boom!). Although this was my last show, I know that this is not the end of my involvement in the arts. I will most definitely be back next November. I’ll just be sitting in a different seat.
