| Louder, Prouder Lyrics I was alone on the podium, Have to say my speech Loud and clear. (Pause) Until the end, The stress is infinite. (Pause) Many people staring, Waiting for me To say something! (Short Pause) Come on, I don’t have any courage For speeching! (Pause) It feels like everybody wants to See me mess up when I'm in the Spotlight, and I wanna know If I could run away From this show– O–o–o! If I could run awayyyyyyyyyyy!

About
|
Reflections is a National PTA arts recognition program that helps students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence, and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful not only in school, but in life.
Students have the opportunity to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works created around a theme that changes each year. The theme for the 2022-2023 program year is Show Your Voice.
Students submit their completed works of art in one, or all, of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, and Visual Arts.
