May Day

SONG without even realizing it. That was certainly true for this year’s May Day pageant, where dances were performed to songs from hit Broadway musicals. The serendipitous tune? “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from Funny Girl. Although May Day is traditionally held on Wednesday, a dreary weather forecast called for showers then and on the following two rain dates. So a last-minute adjustment to the schedule—moving to Tuesday—was the only option. While the change could have dampened the spirits of our seniors as well as the rest of the school community, everything was handled with grace, flexibility, and positivity. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. Along with the presentation of the May Court and seniors and the traditional maypole dance, attendees enjoyed a pre-pageant festival plus dances from underclassmen to songs from Annie, Hamilton, Grease, and more—all against the backdrop of a bright, beautiful, sunny day!
