I have been doing homework for around eight hours today and I am not done yet so I wanted to take a break to reminisce about how wonderful All Shook Up has been so far (I have listened to the All Shook Up album A LOT). There are just a whole lot of elements that come together to make this experience something memorable and so worthwhile for all who are involved. Enjoy this concise list of good things. 1. We get to make lots and lots of new friends. This one is the most obvious but in my opinion that is a good thing. You might even be rolling your eyes because you have heard me say things along this subject so many times. I can't help it; being surrounded by such good people is irreplacable. Having a supportive community like McDrama is a gift and the endless supply of friendships to be had are a defining element of who we are. 2. This music is out-of-this-world good. It doesn't feel like extra work and rehearsal when I turn on the soundtrack while doing homework or taking a run because it is easy to listen to and enjoy. This also means I am going to listen to it a lot even when the show has closed which will bring back lots of nice memories :) 3. It seems like no recent McDrama show has featured nearly as much dancing. YAY!!! This is why it is a good thing that the rehearsal process was a tad longer than usual for this show. These song and dance numbers are going to astound our audiences. 4. There is nothing like the proud feeling that comes over the group after we do a number really well. It's a good thing that these numbers are top-notch, especially since we sometimes do them 4 or 5 times in quick succession. Working towards a goal and eventually reaching it is really wonderful you guys. It is quite heartwarming to watch your friends and the show progress so obviously with each passing week. 5. Our costumes are maybe the cutest thing I have seen in my life. How often in this day and age do you get to see a ton of teenagers dancing in hand made circle skirts? I don't run into that often (besides during All Shook Up), but if you do, props to you. 6. Dancing backstage for some reason always seems to be the funniest thing since stalking your friends' old Instagram pictures. Don't get me wrong, those prepubescent selfies are totally hilarious, but it is always a good time busting a move just before you strut on stage. Thanks for reading!!!
