| My final Curtain A Journal entry By Jeremy Pierpont As I broke down the stage after rehearsal for Baccalaureate for the final time in my High School career, I couldn�t help but think that as I covered the piano, wrapped the microphone cables, bagged the microphones and neatly placed every thing away, that this would be my final performance in this my auditorium. For four years I have set up, performed and broken down many a concert and event. Here I played, acted, sang and volunteered. Here I sang in a total of eight recitals, four winter concerts, four spring concerts, two plays, three musicals, and more. Here I spent hours rehearsing. Here I gave tribute to the dead. Here I stood many times. As I walk down the stage and onto the risers I hear my footprints echo. This would be my final curtain. With no one else around I sit down and begin to reflect, to reflect upon performances, songs of hope and freedom, plays of love, and hate, and instrumental pieces of power and might. I began to realize one thing, not just one but mainly one. It�s not the shows, the songs, the work or even me. The people and performances yes I will miss but the thing that gets me is that here I spent four years, and now it�s done. Don�t rush through life sit back and enjoy everything, things will pass events will come and the end is always harder than the beginning. Keep pressing on, toward the goal and live in the here and now. Most of all as a wise man once wrote in my yearbook, �Keep The Faith!� God Bless and Keep You JEREMY PIERPONT June 2001 |
