Senior Chapel

Senior Chapel was pretty fun. I enjoyed listening to the talented musicians and singers in my grade perform for us. It brought back memories from Senior year, like when we sang "Lean on Me". This is because the pre-variety show show the variety show band put on (of which I was a member) included "Lean on Me". The rhythm section played and the rest of us sang, banged a tambourine, and sort of danced around. It was probably one of the most special memories I have of variety show because I wasn't nervous about not forgetting any of the words or moves during my scene and I was with band people and my orhcestra friends. Mainly the band people though, because they were the people I spent four years with struggling through marching band and concert band and we created a bond that is different than that I have with my regular friends. Anyway, with the sound of us singing/shouting our hearts out and the AWESOME rhythm section going on in the back it was almost spiritual. I felt comfortable with myself and didn't feel like I was a fool or crazy, it was utter fun. It was ineffable because I can't find the words I want to use to describe how I felt. It was a combination of the feelings of being a senior, spending my last year at Punahou, and the "brotherliness/sisterliness" I felt toward those next to me. We put our arms on each others shoulders and swayed to the music and clapping our hands. So, thanks Senior Chapel Committee for making "Lean on Me" one of the songs we sang. It made me to relive one of the most memorable experiences of my senior year.
