SEN18R Year!

SENIOR Night/ Colorguard (November 2017) 

Christmas Parade (December 2017)

“This Christmas” by Chris Brown will forever be a song to get me festive for the holidays. It’s like people become excited about the seasoning of giving. My high school band actually played a snippet during my last march in the Christmas Parade, and it will always be memorable in my heart!

SENIOR Night/ Cheerleading  (February 2018)

When I first heard the song, “Cheerleader” by OMI, I was fascinated by melody behind his lyrics. I liked the fact of it being different by incorporating the beat of a drum. When listening, I automatically felt a sense of spirit like a cheerleader. What’s ironic is that my school played this song at the beginning of the Basketball Cheerleaders’ Senior Night. (“Oh I think that I found myself a cheerleader”). We were all being spirit-filled while cheering on our team one last time as a current high school senior.

Prom (April 2018) 

I have always associated this particular song with enjoyment and for them to pay it at prom was amazing! I never witnessed Monroe Area High School coming together as one throughout the music.  (“It’s electric/ Boogie Woogie, Woogie!”).  It was as if everyone was carefree and living in the moment. I will never forget when my color guard coach, Coach Lupcke, decide to join in; not mention she didn’t even know how the dance went. But nevertheless, that didn’t matter. What mattered was the memories we were creating at the moment. I like this particular song because the artist sounds like she’s really enjoying herself and she wants her listeners to follow her footsteps.

SEN18R WEEK (May 2018/ First week) 

DOM (May 2018/ First Weekend) 

Honor Awards (May 2018/ Third week) 

During 6th grade year, I came across this song during a pep rally. The song was quite catchy, and I can recall walking into the auditorium hearing it all over again. Before Honor’s Awards started, Principal Hicks decides to play a song of encouragement and completion. “I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no,” quickly filled the auditorium. We, the honorees, were instantly happy because we knew very well that they were one step closer to graduating.

Graduation (May 2018/ Fourth Week)

“Congratulations, Class of 2018!” yelled to our class president. So many emotions all at once. My classmate Linely started singing,” I dreamed it all ever since I was young,’ and immediately I followed behind her singing, “They said I wouldn’t be nothing/ Now they always say congratulations.” Granted this all happened during the graduation ceremony, but we were excited, although we had whispered that entire verse.
