All right...Here's the REAL scoop. 2005-2006:
FINAL SHOW WEEKEND!
The Stix welcomed back their wonderful alums for an amazing final show weekend, as we kicked off the weekend with a banquet dinner where we caught up with good friends. The chilly weather couldn't stop us as we spent Saturday afternoon with family and friends singing with our alums on Newbury Street, after which we celebrated our amazing seniors that night at our final show. In addition to saying our sad goodbyes and hearing the seniors sing for the last time, we debuted “All These Things I've Done” by the killers, sung by David Cobiella. We ended the weekend with a scrumptious brunch at Ali's mod. A big thank you to all of our alums, families and friends for their constant love and support, you all make this weekend so special. Good luck class of '06!! We love you and we can't wait to see you come back as alums next year! Song Selection!
