June 21st 2008. The day started off at the department of education. Derek, Katie, Kaylee, Sydney, and I all met to crunch the workbooks for SGLC. We quickly got a system down that worked quit well; this only took us part of the afternoon. Finishing up around 3:00 we all headed to Farmhouse to take a nap before our evening festivities.
“RENT!! What is Rent? It’s a musical play. Ok, will I like it? O yes, you will love it.”Well $60.00 later I had been cultured a bit. Derek, Katie, Kaylee, Sydney, and I decided to hit the city lights! Yes I was going to my fist musical opera play. Don’t get me wrong, I was in all of my high school and I had been to London England and seen sever play performances. So I was totally up for a night on the town and a chance to look sharper than James Bond. All the ladies looking stunning and us guys looking handsome (as usual) we took off for the Ordway theater. Arriving early we posed for a few pictures, because this is one time we got to dress up and one of our first times out of our Official Dress! We then made our way walking around downtown St. Paul and making our way into Macys. Following the girls around for almost an hour I think we got to see every department in the store, but I think Derek and I learned a thing or two.
Taking a look at my watch it was about time to make our way back to the Ordway. We quickly got our seats and waited for the show to start. Getting the run down from Sydney about the play, I quickly knew I was in for a treat. I will say it was an experience I won’t forget. Especially the point in the play when an actress asked the house to moo with her…… sadly people in the house did join her. The funny part was someone two seats down from me was mooing, funny right? Dang right it is because it was Derek! At this time I looked at Sydney and said “Are you kidding me, is this really happening?” Ha-ha all I can do is laugh because it was so much fun. I love acting and seeing plays, but I am the type of person who like plays with lines. I don’t care for every word in play being sung.
This is one of the first things we did as teammates outside of the FFA, I had a great time, and would do it again, I am glad we took the time to “Sharpen our saws”.
