The adrenaline rush is like nothing else. 

The lights only heighten it.

[in addition to the temperature]

The music only amplifies it.

[in addition to the noise level] 

The costumes only increase it.

[in addition to the sweat factor] 

For months, we’ve been planning, singing, memorizing, dancing, creating. 

And it all culminates in those few hours in the dark and the spotlight. 

So much time, effort, devotion, thought. 

And it all crystallizes in those few hours to a diamond point. 

A sharp adrenaline rush that takes us soaring to the heavens. 

Why do we have to come back down?
