Madagascar

Boom! Boom! My tummy tickled as they called us to the holding room. On Wednesday the 17th of September, we had our last Madagascar show. As we walked on stage I saw hundreds of people waiting for us to blow them away. When I heard the music start and saw my classmates waiting nervously, I realized it wasn't going to be as bad as I thought it was. I started dancing and the feeling went away. That was when I knew that I was going to have the best night of my life! 

After my dance we went back up the stairs to our classroom for about 30 minutes and then we got called for the finale. I wasn't as nervous for the dance but I still had a bit of a fright as I walked on stage. After the finale we ran back up the stairs to get changed and go home. I will never forget this experience being part of the Madagascar Musical.
