We Are Endgame

Day 3

Rachel is setting up for glee club again, since they only meet three days a week, they only have today after school, and friday after school to get through all the glee clubbers to peform each of their solo and group performances. She is finishing the final printouts of all the songs chosen for brad and the rest of the band to have the correct music to play. Just as she handed the student band the last bits of the music sheets, her kids file in and take their seats, while the first performers set up.

Today, there were gonna to cram in four performances. And three on their final day. 6 solos and 2 duets. Melanie did make a turn in for a performance but opted to fit her on on our final day due to the length of her song choice. Her duty with Aldo.

I give my usual speech and announce the performances for the whole day. It all goes really fast. The kids really needed this just as much as I think I did. To see them let out their feelings in front of their peers. It was truly an inspiration. It brings me back to my days in high school. Through fear, stress, anger, and sadness. Glee Club was always there for me. And it inspires me that I get to pay it forward and see it make a difference in every kids life that steps into this room. That pours their soul and emotion into every song and every competition.

I look at my sister in the crowd with her boyfriend. To all of my students. And it brings me back to a flashback of me and my friends being in their places. To Mr. Schue being the motivation we all needed. And I can just hope I can be that for them.

I daydream when I realize the final performance ends as the clubbers get up to leave, and Melanie comes and gets my attention. Grabs my hand as me, and we go to the hospital to spend some time with Shelby. So Melanie can spend as much time as she can. While she can.
