It Was Pretty Much a Flash Mob

Dance Company was approached by Kathy (Cadee's mother). She was over a huge event that her work was putting on. They had an idea to get all of the high up people of the CR England company singing on stage to Life is a Highway, but, with their own lyrics. She wanted us to dance in between the tables while they put on their show. So, they "hired" us. Well, technically not since we are underage. We had to go through an audition process with Kelley. Twelve people were going to be picked. I made it! Then we had about three practices to prepare. The song was hideous with their high-pitched voices. But, hilarious, I must say.

Welp, the day came. It was Thursday, January 12th. We drove to the Grand America very speedily because we were late, of course. When we got there, we ran in the building. The Grand America was beautiful. Once we found where the event was taking place, we dropped our bags and went to rehearse. We realized how close the tables were and freaked out just a little.

After practicing for quite some time, we went and waited for it to start. We just sat in an event room and talked about numerous things. Boys, kissing, etc, etc.. It was fun. Finally, it was time that we could eat breakfast. There was a whole plethora of fruit and croissants. It was delightful! Everyone had several servings and we pretty much wiped them out of the food.
It was time to perform and we were ready. After putting on our bright red lipstick to make us look somewhat older, we lined up. The music began, and we casually walked out to where all of the people were sitting. The place was packed. How on earth were we supposed to dance in between the tables. Ridiculous thought. We were pretending to just be waitresses, watching the performances. Then, surprise, we started dancing. Once I got to my spot, I came to the realization that I was pretty much dancing on top of the people around me. After wacking people in the head, kicking peoples' legs, and stepping on their toes, the dance came to and end and we snapped our way out of there. Oh, and not forgetting to pass out the "higher road" guitar picks.

What a fun experience. Not to mention, but, we also go paid. Way exciting! Once it was over, we rushed back to the school in our outfits and I had a math final to take.
