Every Sunday since about Christmas (with the exception of one or two that I spent college visiting), I reported to a dance studio in Broomall. I spend one or two hours each Sunday dancing, a rather astonishing feat considering my absolute lack of expertise (or experience, for that matter) in that particular art form. Why, you ask? Well, it's Fashion Show time.
The O'Hara Fashion Show is a veritable and revered tradition among O'Hara's seniors. Don't let the name mislead you - though there is, of course, modeling of fashions from Zinni's of Philadelphia, Iaccobucci's, and Boscov's, the Fashion Show is much, much more than that. It's something of a variety show - the seniors get together to sing, dance, and perform skits. It's an all-around great time.
Tomorrow is the big day, the day of the Fashion Show. Tomorrow, over a hundred O'Hara seniors will strut their stuff for friends, family, and admirers. Tomorrow, our months of blood, sweat, and tears - okay, there was little blood and really very few tears - will pay off. I never though the day would come where I would get up in front of several hundred people and make a valiant attempt at cutting the rug, as the young'uns say, but tomorrow is that day. Additionally, I get to sing a very pretty song by Ingrid Michaelson called "The Chain." I'm quite excited.
After an all-day rehearsal today, during which I got to watch every number in the show, I think you should be excited too. This lovely event takes place tomorrow at the Springfield Country Club. A limited number of tickets are still available for the 1 PM and 6:30 PM shows and can be purchased at the door. You don't want to miss this, folks!
