The moment that we have all been waiting for has finally arrived. I take one final scan around the room as I run through my mental checklist one last time: Stage is set? Check. Performers in place? Check. Spotlight ready? Check. Cameras on, tapes rolling, and crew in place? Check, check, check. Mic check? Check…one, two…A rush of excitement rushes through my body as I silently walk on stage. A glowing spotlight follows me as I glide my way to the centre. My mouth feels like sandpaper. I need water. The nerves rise through my body as I position myself in front of the mic. No need to panic, you say to yourself, you’re gonna do great.
“Hi,” I manage to croak out. “I’ll be singing for you today.” At first silence. Then, applause and cheering roars out from the invisible crowd, calming my nerves. I send them a hopeful smile as I position my fingers into the first chord, take a deep breath and start to strum. The words fall from my lips as the nerves completely wash away and people start to sing along.
Welcome to the Coffee House.
After surviving these unfortunate two years without a coffeehouse, the tradition is finally able to make its return and we couldn't be more thankful.
Student performers are just buzzing to share their talents, and many of us are itching to experience some fantastic live music once again. Well, the Coffee House is the perfect place to make both of those dreams come true. Held after school hours in the drama pit, it is a night filled with fun, delicious treats, performances you’ll never forget, and of course…poorly made coffee. You can purchase your tickets ahead of time for $3, though they will also be available at the door for 5$ as it's never too late to experience a good time. So warm up those vocal chords, tune your instruments, grab your friends, and save the date, because this is an event that you won't want to miss! Make the most out of your high school experience, and we can't wait to see you on April 27th!
