My favorite part of high school was performing in our annual Christmas concert with my best friends. Some of my most beloved memories are the hours we spent waiting for our turn to perform, running across Chinatown trying to fix KaiÊ»olu’s broken pant zipper, Brandon notifying me of every time my own pant zipper was down, meeting homeless spectators like Alfonzo during my sophomore year, getting yelled at by the aunties for no reason, constantly complaining of boredom, watching Baylor beat Kansas St to earn a second Big-12 title during my solo and filming every performance with Brandon. Christmas concert was a stable pillar for us as we went through multiple leadership changes every year and I will always miss making beautiful (sometimes terrible) music with my best friends.
