Follies Circa 2002

Some of us entered that school building once again for Follies this weekend.  You can't help but take a trip down Memory Lane watching all those seniors having the time of their lives!


Many of us would say that Follies was certainly one of the highlights of our senior year!  It was a time when the senior class spent countless hours singing, dancing, talking, laughing, and getting know each other even better.  It was a time when we had the opportunity to enjoy those we hadn't before.  


Follies is one of those "rights of passage" of every senior at Corinth High School, and ours was no exception.  Whether or not our Follies was the best ever is not what made it memorable.  No one can argue that it was quite silly to see 17 and 18 year olds singing "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo" and "Supercalifragilistic."  It was the  memories during rehearsals and backstage that stand out in most of our minds.  We were weeks away from graduating high school, and we were carefree!


There were some wonderful moments during the performance too, though.  Clint's version of "Jupiter" or the girls singing and dancing to "Can't Fight the Moonlight" or the guys singing "Dancing Queen."  And of course the slideshow...you know, the one where all the girls started bawling as soon as the first note of music was played.


New friendships were formed during the two months of nightly rehearsals and after parties.  Reality hit us that we were all going separate ways.


As the Follies of 2012 played out on the stage, it made some of us think back to OUR TIME...10 years ago!


Man, how things have changed!  

Keep checking back as we reveal even more pictures and memorable moments from the Class of 2002!  Don't forget you can still email pictures to mssmith_14@yahoo.com.
