State Schools FTW

So tonight I attended [Tenuto Tuo]'s boyfriend's school musical production dubbed Alice in Beatlesland and boy was I blown away!!!

There was so much talent and so much heart into this production from the beginning till the end... There was also a Director's speech and giving of presents to teachers that overwhelmed me with feelings of love, support, community and friendship...

It made me realise how bad the school I go to is.

Seriously... For the price my parents have to pay to send me to a small private college compared to what I actually get at the end of my schooling life... Does not match up.

The school I went to tonight was a state school. Now I'm not stereotyping... But you would think that a private college would have more than a state school does...

In consideration; the school I go to is only around 13 years old... But when you look at the fee price and note how the school always seem to require fundraising for any event or activity; resources are being built one at a time, very slowly, with a few years in between each one; and the fact that it can't even put together a DECENT musical production...

The production, Honk!, I was unable to go see, so I'm not sure what the quality of that was... The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe was the last one the school had which I was in... And, well, it wasn't the greatest... Not to mention the production my school is writing themselves for this year... My goodness I cannot begin to explain how confusing the plot is and how confused every single person involved is... I shall attempt to explain it more when I have a better idea on what's going on.

We don't have many students at the school, which means there is a less chance of finding talents... Even when you can find talents, most students at the school don't have much community spirit, or don't want to participate at all... Which leaves only a small group of people, of which maybe two are good singers, five are good actors, and six are good dancers... The rest are usually young children used to fill the choir, dance troupe or younger mainline characters...

Put that all together, and you get an ever-so-loverly production from the best school in the district... "Supposedly".

Anyways, tonight made me really want to switch over to the Indooroopilly school... But it's a tad late (with only two terms of school to go), plus transport would be a major issue... But I am so jealous of the amount of support and love I felt tonight within the musical cast (and all who came to watch) tonight it's crazy... But I guess not everything in life goes your way!!!

On a random note... A shout out to [That Dancer Chick] who has very recently joined the blogging world :)
And a shout out to a new follower of mine who I don't know, but I very much enjoy your blog! I am talking about a fellow muso by the name of [Richard Ford]. Have a look at his blog, it's quite good! :)

~All you need is love~

Yah, the sack fails like that.
Honk pwned, though. Seriously, I don't know how we managed to create some much awesome. I hated [TheWhore], er, Hoare, but I must credit her for making that production so good. She was a pretty pro director, even if she was an annoying teacher.
