step sing, chapter two

I promised to bring you part two of the Step Sing story. Here is the abridged version:

On Saturday night, February 20, the correctors, the shushers, the touchy-feelies, the enthusiastic girls and the girls who had no clue what they were doing, all came together to put on one cool show. The show followed a group of bank robbers as they tried to break into a vault. While the plot wasn't very realistic (70 girls could never pull off a robbery while dancing to Boom Boom Pow in matching sequin belts), it had all the elements of a good performance: suspense, action, comedy and anguish. But the best element of all? Raccoon eyes.

When the judges saw their show, they were moved to uncontrollable tears (and this year it wasn't because their ear drums were bleeding). Audience members threw roses on the stage and chanted things such as, "If those girls don't win, we'll kick you in the shin," and "Brittany for president."

Unfortunately, the judges had already agreed (and been paid $40,000 each) to let three other groups win. But the girls weren't bitter. They had accomplished what they had set out to do: not embarrass themselves.

Now that Step Sing 2010 is over, the girls are already brainstorming ideas for next year's show. Even though I will have graduated, I still have some great theme ideas for 2011. My top picks right now? Amy Grant Through the Decades or Enya: The Musical. Both are sure winners.
