On the Road

The cast and crew of "Dancing" is here in Lubbock. Today is when we perform. It's really quite scary because for the past three or so days we've been thinking we're hot shit. Although we haven't rehearsed once, which is completely different from Guyer who has every day since they advanced with us.

It's just a buzz kill because it seems like they want it a lot more than us, are a lot more focused, and we're just here for fun.

Maybe it's because we've done this before and they haven't, or maybe it's because our egos have swollen up, I'm not sure. All I know is that I want to advance to State again. I want recognition for all of our hard work. This has been reiterated in my mind over and over again.

I want more than anything for this journey to keep going and not to end in this way. I don't want to lose. I refuse to give up. I refuse, I refuse, I refuse.

To my sisters:
Let's bring the love, the passion, and the magic to this show.
We owe it to Abney, Thompson, and Brian Friel himself to give them a show that they can be proud of. Abney cast us for a reason, and we can't let her down.

Let's give her the first place she's always wanted, what we've always wanted. This is more than a competition, this is our life, our love, our baby. We can't let it go. We cannot be defeated.
