Lincoln High School

For most students at capital of Nebraska High School, today is no different than any other mend school day. For me however, its the day Ive been looking forward to for over a month. Today is the day when our hard work during numerous even rehearsals pays off. Today is the day when the hundreds of hours put into making costumes, building the set, and intricate put forward up designs are displayed. Today is the day we open the state.One by one the students filter into the theater room. For the first evening performance, call is at 500, that by the time Ive arrived at 430 room 220 is already filled with students busily preparing for the show. Costumes begin to go from the costume closet and a thin layer of powder and unction makeup appears on the counter. I manage to squeeze my way done the mob of people standing around, chatting, applying makeup, or curling hair and fetch myself a wonderful seat in front of the mirror. As I sit down Im overcome with a thick, chocking streak o f hairspray.Over the next hour students slowly transform into their characters, no long-range the same people who walked through the door earlier this evening. The director enters and shouts 20 minutes until showMyself, and everyone one else in the theater room echoes in response, Thank you twenty You can almost feel the level of ignition rising. The chattering gets a little louder. Soon after the announcement, the cast satisfy around the tables and began to stretch. The chattering dies down, and I begin to reflect over what weve gross(a) over the last month and a half.Five minutes until the show starts. Everyone circles up and join hands so the senior(a)s can continue on the tradition of The Energy Circle. Are you ready? Everyone replies in their dress whisper, Yeahhhhh Then lets get ready to rumble The prosper is started around the circle. It goes around once, twice, and than dies out. Its time to report to our places.As everybody waits, secure in the wings of the stage, my mind begins to race with questions. What if I forget my cables length? What if I miss a cue? My thoughts are intercepted with the dimming of the lights. Black out. Everyone quickly, but quietly gets into their opening position and freezes. The lights come up, and the show begins.Time starts to rainfly by. We are performing the show better than at any rehearsal. in advance I know it Im taking a bow. The caboodle is cheering wildly. The lights go out and the cast exits off stage. Only moments later, the senior dip begins to fill with parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends. I am overjoyed to see near of my friends, and immediately I am bombarded with hugs and positive reviews.Soon, people begin to ask out away from their family and friends because there are duties and chores that need to be taken sustainment of before anyone can leave. Costumes are gathered, neatly hung up and the makeup obscenity is wiped off of the counter. The floor is moped, the tables are cleaned, and the chairs are pushed in, ready for students in grade tomorrow. The room is spotless, and we are allowed to go home and rest to prepare for some other show tomorrow night.
