The last hurrah: Students to audition for Senior Renaissance

As seniors begin preparations for graduation and life after high school, some members of the Class of 2019 are getting ready to share their talents one last time, at Senior Renaissance.
Senior Renaissance is an event hosted by the Senior Class at the end of each school year that all graduating seniors must attend. The event is one of the final times that the graduating class will spend as a group. It allows willing seniors to share their talents in front of their peers right before graduation.
Senior Renaissance auditions will take place on Tuesday, April 9. The auditions will be judged by a committee, comprised of Senior Class Council members and advisors. I’m really excited for Renaissance but at the same time, it’s really crazy knowing that I’m graduating and going to college in a couple of months — Dzejlana Mehmedovic
“This year, when judging auditions, we’re looking for new and different talent because we usually have the same acts every year,” said Grace Colestock, a Senior Class Council Member and one of the audition judges.
There are a variety of potential performances; from comedy acts, to singing and dancing.
“I’m considering doing a number with a group of girls from my Colorguard team,” senior Lauren Waring said.
Although Senior Renaissance is usually a time of laughter and friendship, it can also be a bittersweet moment for many of Carlisle High School’s graduating class.
“I’m really excited for Renaissance but at the same time, it’s really crazy knowing that I’m graduating and going to college in a couple of months,” senior Dzlejlana Mehmedovic said.
Anyone interested in auditioning should sign up in the McGowan office as soon as possible, as spots are limited.

I think Renaissance is a very cool way to highlight the talents of our senior class in a way that some students may not have seen their peers before. There are so many interesting talents throughout the high school and I’m super excited to see everyone who is participating. I wish I had a talent I could perform in front of my classmates but my abilities in singing and dancing or anything worth performing seem to be very limited. I heard there was going to be people singing and as Lauren said in the article possibly a color guard performance which I would really enjoy. Although I am looking forward to graduating and all the upcoming events I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic as well.

Renaissance is such a cool opportunity to display senior’s talents, and I think that it is something that is unique to CHS and makes us special. I really love how we all join together right before graduation to support and cheer on our peers one final time. I was able to judge auditions for this event and it was really cool and exciting! I cannot wait for it all to come together and see everyone in their caps and gowns right before graduation.
