Senior year is full of "last" moments. The last Homecoming game, the last game or match, the last prom, so many last's you can get caught up in the sadness and not see all
the amazing moments that senior year can bring....and we wonder why our kids get so moody and difficult during this final year of high school. Cassandra reached one of those sad lasts on Tuesday night. Her final dance performance. The mood behind the scenes was more mellow than on other performance nights,all the girls knew it was the end. For the underclassmen it was the end of the season, for the seniors the end took on a completely different meaning. Cassandra said later "It was the last time I will ever walk out on that floor and perform, the last time" She made it to the end of the dance, but the tears found her as she walked off the floor...most of the seniors did not leave the floor with dry eyes...backstage, complete meltdown. It almost felt intrusive seeing these girls say goodbye to something that had been a part of their lives for the past 3-4 years. They
practice together 2-3 hours a day almost every day during their season which runs from
September to February...it's rather hard to not develop friendships, of course they will
still be able to be friends, it's just going to be different. I think letting go of the routine
you share is perhaps harder than finishing a season. Her last dance was an amazing
routine... she did a great job.
