Seniors’ Last Show
For the uninitiated, it can be difficult to understand why people love a cappella. Heck, even for those of us who do actively enjoy it, it can be difficult to put into words why we enjoy this art form so. While we’ll never have a truly comprehensive list of everything cool about a cappella, 200 Reasons to Love A Cappella is our best attempt at assembling a list of what makes it great.
Reason #140: Seniors’ Last Show
One of the sad inevitabilities of scholastic a cappella group is that the group will, in time, separate. Graduation happens and senior send off shows are among the most bittersweet parts of our world, simultaneously marking a tearful farewell, while it also commemorates and celebrates a singer’s tenure with a group. While the world might watch most readily in a competition setting, and it’s always fun to watch newer group members have their breakout moments, there’s still nothing quite like the experience of watching a loyal group member sing his or her final solo.
I love it!
