BAAY ended recently. I am SOOO depressed. Actually, I was starting to recover until we went to my brother Jonathan's 5th grade track meet, and I saw about fifteen people from BAAY! So now I'm depressed all over again. I wrote a song. It's a reprise of Where Did The Rock Go. It's a little depressing, but, well, I was super depressed when I wrote it. You have to really know the tune to be able to put the words to the melody.Anyway, here it is.
I'm assuming most people in School of Rock feel this way too. So this is for you School of Rock!

Where'd School of Rock Go?

Back at the auditions,
nervous, excited,
I was so extatic,
when I got the part I did.
Dances loud and craazy,
songs beyond control,
every note and lyric,
branded right across my soul.
Where'd School of Rock go?
Where's the keyboard, bass, the drums, and guitar?
Where are all those voices raised to heaven,
blazing down like shooting stars?
Tell me where're the rehearsals?
All the fun and all the friends that I made?
How can I forget all those dances?
How can I just let it fade?
Somehow we got closer,
all of them and me,
guess that time kept passing,
but I didn't stop to see.
Somehow all those strangers, 
turned into good friends,
never realizing,
that someday it had to end.
Where'd School of Rock go?
Charlie, Jack, Ava S, Ava Len?
Where are all those awesome fun rehearsals? 
When they're gone then what remains?
Where're the directors?
Where are Maddie, Lisa and Erica?
Where's the power and the beauty and the frenzy and the rapture?
Where's the magic of the moments only BAAY could ever capture?
Now the only thing I'm hearing are the echos disappearing.
Now that it's all over,
I guess I'll be ok.
Eventually I'll get over it,
There'll be more shows anyway.
I guess that life will go on,
as I know it should,
but this show won't ever fade,
as if it ever could.
Where'd School of Rock go?
Where's the passion and the joy and the fun?
Even though I'll do so many more shows,
this will still be the one.
Where'd School of Rock go?
