My 10 Year Reunion is in a week and somehow I ended up speaking at the event. Now I’m jotting down ideas and getting really nervous. I do not want to blah blah about pride in our school, how much has happened in 10 years, etc. I want my speech to be FUNNY, different, and somewhat engaging. Some tidbits I’ve been collecting:
Top Songs From The Early 90’s (that meant a lot to me at the time and now I don’t know what I was thinking):
Because I love you, Stevie B
More Than Words, Extreme
Save The Best For Last, Vanessa Williams
I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston
Everything I Do, Bryan Adams
Ok, so I eventually ditched the pop for Nirvana, really I wasn’t a total poof ball. I started listening to some of these tunes and I remember being so DISTRAUGHT as a teenager listening to them. Whitney Houston? My best friend at the time sang that song over the phone to me in 9th grade as an apology for a fight we had. C’mon, everyone has to admit: You slow danced to “Everything I Do.” My first slow dance was a pity dance, a more popular friend in 9th grade got her older, 11th grade, male friend to dance with me because no one else would. That Robin Hood inspired ballad became very meaningful to me.
Anyway, I was trying to think of fashions that were popular during my early high school years and suddenly I remembered Hypercolor t-shirts and big Esprit bags. Dang.
Any ideas on how to write an engaging 10 year reunion speech?
