Throwback Thursday:Motown

This week's Throwback Thursday is back to my grade 11 year when I was involved in our music departments production of Motown. Motown wasn't just a production for us it had become our lives at the time it consumed us in the best possible way, it was our 'family bonding' experience, our débuts and so much more. In a way this production changed our lives. I know it changed mine and that of my friends who were involved. Motown was an absolutely incredible experience. In order to understand anything at all from that show you had to have been involved.

As a department we literally put our blood, sweat and tears into the production and left our hearts on the stage. We gave it our all and we worked our butts off to make it what it had been. From long rehearsals Friday's after school to the point we took turns as to who brought in dinner and dealing with the fact that we would literally be at school from 8am (or earlier for those who go there early) until about 7 at night every Friday up until performance week. With rehearsals that long tempers ran high and things could go wrong in an instant but in the end it was absolutely remarkable.
