The end of May is usually a time when students are winding down their school year and revving up for summer!
Things are, of course, a little different this year. For many seniors, their time in high school is wrapping up very differently than anyone could have anticipated.
That’s where Drew Baldridge comes in.
The rising country singer released a song over a year ago called “Senior Year” that has been given new meaning amidst a global pandemic.
In the chorus, Baldridge sings:
“Blink an eye and then you’re there /On a gym floor in folding chairs / Throwing caps up in the air / Couple loving birds shedding tears /Never thought it’d disappear / Senior year.”
“Senior Year” has now become the anthem for many in the class of 2020. So much so that Baldridge has been invited to perform at virtual proms and graduation parades across the United States.
“My heart is breaking for these kids not being able to play sports for the last time or even be able to have a graduation,” said Baldridge. “I hope this song can bring some light and help them to relive the good memories of ‘Senior Year’ all over again!”
While this may not be the graduation the class of 2020 imagined, it surely will be one to remember.
