Broadway Filled Weekend

As the title reads, my weekend was filled with full on BROADWAY. For the past 2 weeks, 250 students have filled their nights with preparing for this weekend because this weekend was follies. Follies is such a big tradition in our area in Iowa. This year I was in the Orchestra act and we preformed a mix of Smooth Criminal, Bad Romance, and Smells like Teen Spirit. Personally, I believe we rocked these songs and the act. The best part of follies was definitely what occurred back stage. :)

Most of my time at follies was spent backstage in the MIC room. Some people who joined me were Haley Mallo, Halie Greenwood, Acacia Green-harrington, Allie Frank, Rebecca Harken and Andrew Olson. Though many people joined us every minute, these people were the main occupants of the room. There was sooooo many memories created in this room this weekend, and I will share a few of them.

One memory was the food that was in this room. Cheese nips, peanut butter M&Ms, whales, carmelcorn, peach rings, sprees, and much more. The best food of them all was definently Whales. We would throw the whales into our mouths and even attempted into others. The best Whales catcher was Ande Atkinson. He would catch like 20 whales in a row before he failed to catch another.

Another great memory was a lap dance. I will not go into deep detail with this one but someone got a lap dance. Another item I will not go into will be how guys are willingly open to stripping their shirts infront of a group of girls. Both of these events were pretty hilarious!

Also before our Orchestra act came up, the Step Up dance number was up. So backstage has loud dance music going. A few of us would go around and dance(Acacia and I). Acacia was dancing beautifuly while I was just messing around. Our dancing scene was hilarious to watch.

I know that there are many more memories to share about follies but I feel I can't share them all. Follies of 2011 will never leave my mind. The idea of follies has completly changed for me now. Follies was defenintly full of spice this year. Until next time, try to add some spice to your sugary life :)
