Dear Hannah,
Holy moly how are you leaving this is wild lol. You were the first committee member back when I was a Fresher to ever talk to me - I just remember thinking you were so kind and welcoming and honestly you were definitely one of the reasons why I came back after the first rehearsal.
Throughout my time in OpSoc you have been nothing less than a ball of enthusiasm ready to party whilst being so so humble when you were killing it on stage in Witches. I am so so happy that you are staying in Dundee - congrats and all the best for VPCC next year, I can't wait to see what you do, you and Kellie are going to crush it and I honestly can't wait.

Lots of love,

Dear Kieran,
Mr Director, you are the bomb! Even though you just joined OpSoc this year, your love for Musical Theatre and Directing (and Loserville!) and been an utter joy to watch. You are a very talented human being Kieran, so never forget that!
The amount of fun and enthusiasm you brought to Directing was so so lovely to witness and be apart of - I'll always remember you killing yourself with laughter over the jocks and thinking of even more ridiculous ways to make them even more hysterical.
Thank you for making my last OpSoc time on stage as a performer so enjoyable,
Lots of love,
Francis xxx

Dear Mel,
I honestly do not know what to write for this. So, I shall do it in true Melissa Bremner style lol:

To the OpSoc Queen of years gone by
I cannot believe it is your time to fly
From your singing to your acting, you cannot deny
You have made countess audiences go "oh my!"

From Jekyll, to Addams to Heathers too
Not forgetting Witches - Felicia is that you??
And of course 9 to 5 (the one where I sat on a loo)
Mel you are leaving, and that makes me Boohoo 😥

Four years of committee - thats a whole degree!
Treasurer, President, SOM and VP
Hour and hours of meetings filled with glee
Just think without you where OpSoc would be?

The friendships and memories made will last for forever
All the laughter and jokes made, whatever the weather!
"Prime vibes!" is what we'll say, and then we'll remember
Who made OpSoc OpSoc? Why, it was Melissa Bremner ❤️

Mel I love you and admire you so so much - from day one you have been an utter inspiration and I am nothing less than in awe of you as a talented being, friend and person. Great things are coming your way in Glasgow, but never forget that Dundee is just a hop skip and a jump away!

Lots of love,
Justine xxx

Over the years you have become an incredible friend and an absolute joy to have in my life! Thankyou for being fantastic every single day! It goes without saying, do not be a stranger (tbh you wont have a choice, if you’re in dundee i’m harrassing you basically)! Much love, Antonia x

Rowena

2019-05-20 16:55:08 UTC

MEL I can’t believe Opsoc is about to be Mel-less. We’ve shared so many wonderful memories of madness during 9 to 5 rehearsals and shows, and countless nights out of chaos! I’ll never forget when we drove up from Edinburgh to the first proper 9 to 5 rehearsal when you were DEFINITELY over the limit and we didn’t actually know each other that well and fully could’ve died on that journey, but I’m v glad we didn’t. Good luck in all your post opsoc shinanagens, I love you very very much and Opsoc will be an odd place without you! Love from the Doralee to your Violet, Rowena

Rowena

2019-05-20 16:58:00 UTC

Detta! Your sunshiney face and infectious laugh will be so missed within opsoc, and I’ll miss having someone around who’s just as tiny as me! I’m always excited to see you when we bump into each other on nights out or get chatting away at Opsoc stuff and i’m sure that will continue if you’re ever back in Dundee. Good luck with all your post uni shinanagens, love you lots! Rowena

Rowena

2019-05-20 16:59:53 UTC

Lauren! I hope you have the best of times finally being a dentist and wish you all the best of luck in your post uni shenanigans, and despite having not seen you in two years of us being on the same street over holidays (#TheMurraysREPRESENT) I’m sure I’ll see you around our bit at some point! Lots of love, Rowena

Rowena

2019-05-20 17:03:14 UTC

ELAYNIO!!! Thank you for being a wonderful wonderful pal, I will miss having you in Opsoc every week SO MUCH. I’m sure we’ll have many more of our fun day trips to different cities and sudoku naps, because I won’t let us not have that even though you’re leaving lol. I’m so glad you’ll still be in Dundee for a bit! Thank you for being the (Princess) Leia to my Samantha, I promise I’ll never snake you on t-shirt nicknames ever again ;) Good luck with all your post uni shenanigans, I love you very very much! Rowena

Rowena

2019-05-20 17:05:23 UTC

Heidi! I hope you have all the fun finally being a dentist and wish you the best of luck in your post uni shenanigans! Your beaut soprano tones and incredible dancing will be very sorely missed in Opsoc, I don’t know what we’ll do! Thank you for being the other half of our award winning duet at mono concert lol, what a highlight! Lots of love, Rowena

Rowena

2019-05-20 17:08:19 UTC

Daniella! I can’t believe MY MOTHER is leaving Opsoc, how rude. Thank you for the best Opsoc mother I could’ve asked for. We have some of the most wonderful memories from 9 to 5 rehearsals and shows, and countless chaotic night out big chats. I love you very very much, and wish you all the best of luck for your post uni shenanigans. Lots of love, the Doralee to your Judy, Rowena

Lou! Thank you for being a FABBY choreographer this year, and putting up with me asking how to do the dances about 300 times over. Your beaut voice and big smile will be so missed within Opsoc, and I hope we’ll see you lots even once you’ve left! You never fail to make me laugh and I know that’ll continue cause it’s not as if we’ll stop being pals lol. I love you very much and wish you all the luck for your post uni shenanigans! Lots of love, Rowena

Rowena

2019-05-20 17:17:44 UTC

Michael Dork! Can’t believe you’re leaving Opsoc. You never fail to make me laugh, whether it be from the very first few days in high school musical 2 with all the “creamed corn” chaos, or throughout the last few months with Loserville madness, you’re always up for a good laugh and you will be so missed within Opsoc! I hope we’ll see you lots even after you’ve left, and I wish you all the best of luck with your post uni shenanigans. Lots of love, Rowena

Rowena

2019-05-20 17:18:56 UTC

Hannah! Although you weren't in "Loserville", I'm still very much happy and lucky to have come across your company for your last year at Opsoc! I was privileged enough to have come across such a smart, wonderful, talented, pretty and lovely friend who is our new VPCC (couldn't have been more proud to have helped you campaign - your victory with achieving VPCC was very much well deserved!)! As much as we missed a Hannah Adams for our "Loserville" production, I was lucky enough to have a few drinks with yourself and our Opsoc friends for a few occasions and let's just say - you're a barrel of laughs, such an amazing person to be around and just a 10/10 person all around. I'm really gonna miss you Hannah, even though we'll all be seeing you around campus still ;) Best of luck for your post-uni life that is ahead of you and I'm sure you'll smash anything and everything that comes your way!

Lots of love,
Spencer xoxo

Kieran Kieran Kieran… I've been heavily gutted and missing such an amazing director that is yourself ever since "Loserville" ended! You're such a good laugh as our director and also, as a mate too! A top class guy that did Opsoc proud in terms of how amazing "Loserville" turned out to be.

I loved how much confidence you brought of me and thank you for guiding me towards portraying a very hilarious Wayne - I found Wayne a questionable character at first and was not confident with portraying a comedic role (which can be difficult compared to any other role as timing and tone is vital) with a dumb mind but you very much helped me embrace and make the most of my character - I came to love Wayne to bits by the end of the show and he'll remain a role I'll never forget and I'll always hold him close to my heart, all because of you, our director.

Your talent also very much deserves a shout-out as you did an incredible job as our director and it goes without question that it was all down to the superb acting skills that you have - I very much enjoyed watching "The Larmie Project" and you were defos a favourite from the production for me personally (no bias obv).

As much as nights out go, since the Opsoc ball, I acknowledged a drunk Kieran is bloody hilarious and that was backed up by the after-show of "Loserville" as well as our wee LADS night out ;p

I wish you all the best with what lies ahead for your future, no matter where you end up and I will defos keep a look out for you cuz who knows - perhaps Mr Kieran Bole will soon become a famous actor or be in the West End/Broadway ;)

Cya around mate!

First of all you live close by Dundee and so do I so you’re not really leaving in my eyes cause we’re gonna go on all the dog walks together! Second, Elayn I love you and your bubbly personality that always makes me smile, Opsoc won’t be the same without you and thank you for helping to make it such a fun experience for me. Btw we still need to find churros in Dundee otherwise I’ll have to bring in another tub of ice cream to rehearsals ;) Can’t wait for our London trip together for a Fabby time
Lots of love

P.s Pippa loves you and will miss you

Mel, I can't even begin to imagine OpSoc without Melissa Bremnar. From my first rehearsal when I turned to Ross McNeil and said "I take it she's the Boss Lady then?", to playing your dearest pal Brenda in witches of Eastwick, and always being blown away by the power of your voice at OpSoc's concerts, and watching you gradually get "Mel'ed" and fall asleep on the sofa of every OpSoc party ever..
It won't be the same without your passion, enthusiasm and spirit. You've brought so much to OpSoc over the years and helped shape it into what it is today. I know you'll make an amazing doctor and I hope you keep doing musical theatre. You're a very talented bean! Love you lots and will miss you dearly,

Detta! You were one of the first friendly faces I met in OpSoc doing HSM2 and you've been a wee ray of sunshine ever since! When not performing beautifully, you have always been supporting OpSoc in other ways and it's been so lovely getting to know you the past couple of years.
Wishing you all the best,
Mirren xxx

Detta,
I'm so sad your gorgeous voice and face are leaving OpSoc! I've loved having you in OpSoc the past few years and been so impressed every time you've performed.
I wish you all the best with all of your future endeavours and I hope you keep singing and dancing!
Love Rebekah WP x

Lauren,
I can't believe after all these years you're actually leaving OpSoc!
You are such a huge part of the OpSoc family and we will all miss you so dearly.
Your enthusiasm and passion for OpSoc, as well as your various talents will be missed so much and we have been so lucky to have you all these years.
Best of luck for the future, I wish you all the best in everything you do!

Elayn,
I can't believe all my 2015/16 newbies are leaving!
You have been such an important part of OpSoc and helped make it what it is today and we will miss you so much!
You've never failed to amaze and impress me in your performances in OpSoc's main shows and concerts and you've brought so much to the society in your time on committee.
Your enthusiasm, passion and love for OpSoc is what the society is all about and we've been so lucky to have you!
We'v had to many wonderful memories together in and out of OpSoc and I can't wait to see what you do next.
Best of luck with all of the exciting things you have ahead, please keep singing and acting and keep us updated about everything you do!
Lots of love, r

To my OpSoc sister,
I'm so sad you're leaving OpSoc after all this time! You've been the best OpSoc sister a girl could hope for and I'm so lucky to have met you four years ago dressed as a maid and downing VKs.
I know you will be the most caring and kind doctor anyone could hope for and I wish you happiness and success in everything you do I can't wait to hear about what you do next! Please keep singing and keep in touch with the OpSoc fam! We will all miss you so dearly!
Love you loads, Rebekah x

2019-05-22 10:54:03 UTC

Mel,
I don't know you too well but have came across you every so often throughout the Opsoc year and you've been such a lovely person! I went to the "9 to 5" showing earlier this year to witness that you are an absolute STAR and you bloody rocked your role as Violet so I was truly gutted that this was only my first year of Opsoc and I wasn't able to witness such talent in person! A fond memory that I have of you was at the afters (at Amy's) that we had after the Glee concert and from what I've heard, getting "Mel'ed" and falling asleep on the couch was absolutely CLASSIC MEL so I'm glad and lucky to have been able to witness that myself 😂

I wish you all the very best for your post-uni life ahead of you and I'm sure you'll smash anything and everything that comes your way!

Lots of love,
Spencer x

Spencer

2019-05-22 11:04:16 UTC

Detta,
I didn't get to come across you too much throughout this year at Opsoc as I am only a newbie but whenever I did come across you, with whatever event it was, you've always been such a ray of sunshine to be around, always smiling! I came across videos of your performances for Opsoc on Facebook some time ago and may I just say, you've got such amazing talent - such a beautiful voice!

I wish you all the best for your future ahead of you and I'm sure you'll smash anything and everything that comes your way!

Lots of love,
Spencer x

Spencer

2019-05-22 12:01:11 UTC

I wish you the very best for your future as a dentist Lauren and I'm gutted to see you go! Opsoc will miss you dearly, as will I - you always had such enthusiasm and passion and it was contagious in the best ways possible!

Lots of love,

Spencer

2019-05-22 12:05:08 UTC

Elayn,
I'm getting emotional just from typing this out, I just can't believe you're leaving! You'll be very much missed by myself and the rest of Opsoc but me especially :(

During "Loserville", you were always such a laugh to be around and your spirit and passion for singing/performing always brightened up the entire room during rehearsals! You have an INSANE amount of talent and no one could've played "Leia" better than you - you were very much made for the role, with the amount of attitude and sass you gave towards your character.

I felt very lucky and privileged to have duet'ed with you for the charity concert and there was not possibly a better song for us to sing together than "Shallow" - what a bloody song and a half! I just love love LOVE your voice so much, it's absolutely insane so duet'ing with you will always remain an amazing memory that I will never forget and will always hold close to the heart! You've always been such a lovely person to me and you're just a 20/10 person in general!

Once again, very much sad to see you go and it'll take time to get over it but I wish you all the very best for your post-uni life - I'm sure you'll smash anything and everything that comes your way! Anyhow, this is not goodbye as we both have London to look forward to! Please pop by Dundee as much as possible as we'll all be missing you very much.

Lots of love,
Spencer xoxo

2019-05-22 12:21:40 UTC

Heidi,
I wish you the very best for your future as a dentist but also, definitely keep up with your music too! You've such amazing talent and I'll never forget your performance at the Glee concert when you blew my absolute socks away with that insane voice of yours during your performance of "Don't Rain On My Parade"!

You're such a lovely person to be around, Opsoc and myself will miss you very much, dearly - your personality always brightened up everyone's day including mine.

Lots of love,
Spencer x

2019-05-22 12:26:25 UTC

Daniella.. where do I start?
First of all, haven't actually known you as much as I could've since you didn't do "Loserville" but nonetheless, we definitely made the most of our time once we officially met properly after the Glee concert! We've both been there for each other for the good and the bad ever since and I wouldn't change a single thing. You've such insane talent, both singing and acting wise and you know that with how much I pester you with compliments, telling you how amazing you are at everything.

I'll never forget that one night at the afterparty of the Glee concert where you were there for me whilst I had a good cry sesh and by the end of the night, we were belting our hearts to all of the duet numbers at Amy's 😂 what a night that was!

The dream duet has become true and I've been lucky and privileged enough to sing with you, what is probably the best musical mash-up to ever exist "The Next Ten Minutes Ago", especially since we evidently both love "The Last Five Years" to absolute BITS! I honestly can't wait to smash this performance out the park with you come associates concert and every second of it will be ASTONISHING!

You're honestly by far the loveliest lass I know, as well as insanely talented and smart. I'm very gutted to see you go and will miss you dearly but all the very best for your post-uni life, for your future that lies ahead of you! I'm sure you'll smash everything and anything that comes your way bub! Don't be a stranger and be sure to pop by Dundee every so often as Opsoc will miss you dearly as well as myself :(

Lots of love,
Spencer xoxo

Ya boi Spencer, ya boi Wayne is gonna miss you like HELL!

On a serious note, being the eldest in my family, you're the big brother that I wish I had and you basically are my big brother :( I'm very sad for you to go! You're the best laugh ever and I mean, I GUESS you're pretty smart and talented too, as hard as it is for me to tell you that. You made my first year at Opsoc an absolute BLAST with the company that you provided and the bloody character that you are in general, which is ALMOST IDENTICAL to your alter ego, Eddie Arch ;)

I wish you all the very best brother, for your future ahead of you, whatever may be in store! Hell, I might even see your face on TV some day 'cause after all.. DON'T THEY SEE IT'S A FACE FOR TV?! Don't be a stranger to us either, pop by Dundee every so often please, for a good ol' catch up and drink sesh with the LADZ LADZ LADZ!

This following message is for the best choreographer to ever exist:

Louiseee!!! You done such an INSANE job choreographing "Loserville" and we honestly could not have asked for a better choreographer! On top of coming up with all the amazing choreography for "Loserville", you also just did such an amazing job leading us all and on top of all the stress that you had from being our choreographer.. YOU WERE ALWAYS BLOODY SMILING and the contagious smile and happiness honestly helped the cast so much when rehearsals were getting long and rough. We loved the positive vibe that you always gave out to us no matter what, it's just such a nice thing and we appreciated it so SO much!

Also, massive credits and a thank you to you for taking out the time and effort to record every single choreography to every dance for the cast, I don't know many choreographers that would do that for such a large cast, especially with you being so busy with your final year of uni's work and studies piling up all the time!

I also just have to highlight how that on top of how great a dancer and choreographer you are, that you just have such a pretty singing voice too! You're just so talented ARGH :)

I wish you all the very best for the future that lies ahead of you, the post-uni life! We will all miss you very VERY dearly :(

Lots of love,
Spencer xoxo

Michael FREAKIN' DORK! What a bloody guy :((

Ross McNeil, I'm already missing you to absolute BITS and you haven't even officially left yet!!! You've been such an amazing friend to me, with regards to looking out for me and providing good chats and company for whenever I needed it. You're honestly one of my favourite people ever and I'm so glad and lucky I got to meet you for your final year at Opsoc before you leave! Your talent is insane with regards to your acting and singing so getting lead role of Michael Dork was very much well deserved!!!

You always brightened up any day whenever you appeared so that meant just about every rehearsal was made better by you, since you were needed at pretty much every rehearsal 😂

We've had our good laughs being drunk also and although you're leaving Opsoc and leaving Dundee, please don't be a stranger and visit often - we'll need to have occasional catch ups definitely!

I wish you the very best for the future that lies ahead of you, the post-uni life! We will al miss you very much, but ESPECIALLY ME of course :(

Love ya to the moon and back,

Having you as director for Loserville this year has been such great fun. I’ve loved the energy and enthusiasm you brought to every single rehearsal and appreciate all the hard work you put in over the year. You’re a really talented guy so I’m sure you’ll go far in the not-so-distant future!

It has been so nice getting to know you over the past couple of years, and seeing you absolutely KILL IT in 9 to 5 last year was just amazing! Your talent is undeniable and I hope you keep going with it on your next adventure because I’d love to come see you perform again.

Thank you for always being such good fun to be around, and particularly for some of our more recent drunken nights out this year which have been such a good laugh!

Going to miss you lots so please keep in touch and good luck with everything in the future!

Elayn,

I legit don’t know what to say… I’m sooooo happy to have met you through Opsoc and to have become such good friends with you over the past 2 years.

You are gorgeous, kind, hilarious, and SO BLOODY TALENTED. Every time I’ve watched you perform I’ve just been blown away (side note: if the new job doesn’t work out I will pay you to sing me to sleep every night k thx).

Thank you for being such a wee ray of sunshine, for being so welcoming to me last year when I joined Opsoc, for all the fun drunken dancing/bonding sessions we’ve had, and for all the lifts lol.

You’ve become one of my best friends and I’m going to stop right there before I get emotional because it’s totally fine and I’m going to see you v soon because we’re going to have lots of fun nights out in Broughty Ferry all the time. I’m not crying, you’re crying…

Love you so much,

Daniella,

My gal, you were the first person I spoke to at the freshers’ fayre in 2017 and after talking to you I knew I wanted to join because you were just so warm and smiley and welcoming. Who would have thought that 2 years down the line I would see you as one of my best friends.

Thank you for always being there for me when I needed you, thank you all the fun coffee dates/dinners/nights out which have brought us even closer together, thank you for letting me be a shoulder for you to cry on from time to time too, and thank you for being so damn TALENTED! You absolutely killed it in 9 to 5 last year, and every time I’ve seen you perform in concerts I’ve been absolutely amazed at dem mad skillz.

I don’t know what else to say other than I love you so much and I’m going to miss you really bad, but I’ll 100% come see you in Edinburgh whenever I can.

Love you love you love you

Lucy <3 xxxx

Rory,

It’s been alright getting to know you this year, and I suppose your performances in the weekend show and Loserville were above average, so well done.

Also I think we had a nice chat one time on a night out recently but I can’t really remember, so that was fine.

Good luck for the future,

Lucy xxxx

Lucy

2019-05-22 14:54:30 UTC

Louise,

I’m crying already.

Thank you so much for EVERYTHING over the past 2 years. You have such a kind and gentle heart, you welcomed me into Opsoc with open arms last year, and I’m soooo happy that we have become such amazing friends since then!

Your talent is undeniable, from your performances in 9 to 5, the weekend show and countless concerts, to your choreography for Loserville, everything you do is so special and if I had even one ounce of your skills I would be one happy gal.

I’m wishing you nothing but the best for your future after uni, and we MUST still see each other all the time or I will be extremely upset and won’t know what to do with my life.

Love you so much,

Lucy xxxx

p.s. we should get ducked…

Lucy

2019-05-22 14:55:26 UTC

Ross!

When I joined Opsoc last year you were one of very few people who would come up and start a conversation with billy no mates me at rehearsals, and I’m so grateful that you did, because I couldn’t imagine not having you as a friend now!

We have had such fabulously fun times together which I won’t be forgetting in a hurry. Thank you for always making me laugh, for giving THE BEST hugs and for dancing like a fanny with me when we’re drunk.

I’m going to miss you so much and I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world for the future. Please please please keep in touch so we can continue having fun together in Glasgow/Dundee/you name it I’m there.

Love you millions,

Lucy xxxx

p.s. I don’t know why I’m begging you to keep in touch, I know you will because you’d be lost without me just like I’d be lost without you xo

Lou, I'm honestly gonna miss you so much!! You are a little ray on sunshine and absolutely embody what OpSoc is all about! You did an amazing job choreographing Loserville and somehow managed to create difficult looking routines that even people with two left feet like me could pick up. I've really grown in confidence, especially when it comes to dancing, over the last year and that's definitely down to you! You've got such a talent for making people feel welcome and as though they can do anything they put there mind too and I hope you always keep that with you. Very sad that I can't be at associates to say a proper goodbye but I know its definitely not the last we'll be seeing of you. Good luck for the future, I know you'll do great!!

One of my first memories of coming to dundee uni is you taking a small group of us round campus at a visit day, we were waiting around and you asked if anyone was into musical theatre and I was so happy chatting to you about Opsoc! Daniella, you have been so lovely and kind and bubbly and every positive adjective I can think of! I’m so glad to have met you and hope to see you again after you’ve graduated, probably at an amazing opsoc gathering!

I hope your proud of the daughter your leaving behind as your opsoc legacy although your legancy shines pretty brightly anyway, the lads and gals pubs crawl, a dead celebrities initiations all GENIUS (plus dressing up as David Bowie is a dream I didn’t even realise I had until you helped me achieve it) and on top of all of that your performance in witches of Eastwick completely inspired me as a young fresher I hope I can go on to give a performance half as amazing as that in my time in opsoc!

I honestly believe you have shaped opsoc into what it is today, between the tremendous amount of work you have to put into working through the comittee to taking such powerful leading roles and making them more real and intense then anyone could possibly believed was possible you are a true opsoc girl and I hope you never forget it, you have opsoc in your blood and you are in opsocs

Sarah xx

2019-05-24 08:48:54 UTC

Well well well look who it is! Aw darling! I know you will be absolutely bawling so I will keep it short and sweet! You are such a kind hearted, sweet, adorable weirdo who I love very much. I don't need to get too soppy because let's be honest I'm going to be seeing you loads next year. You're not getting rid of me yet. Very excited to still have you round next year even if that doesn't include the stage this time but I know you will do great things!

Sarah xx

2019-05-24 09:07:14 UTC

I have decided that you're not allowed to leave because I can't imagine a show without you being involved so there, no need for goodbyes because you aren't leaving.
Honestly though gal I'm going to miss you so much, you are one of the bestest beans I know. You're just so all round amazing and fun, as well as being an amazing friend to talk to when needed. You did such an amazing job as choreographer this year too! Just a little ball of sunshine that I am going to miss a lot
But I will end by once again thanking you for helping save me at the Opsoc Ball otherwise I might be dead.
Love you
Sarah xx

2019-05-24 09:09:36 UTC

What you managed to make Loserville into was honestly amazing, and the fact you managed to do it while making Opsoc rehearsals still fun and as stress free as possible is quite shocking to be honest. But you did and for that, thank you.
You did a brilliant job and wish you all the best for the future

2019-05-24 09:13:07 UTC

Ross, you are such a sweetheart and leading member of Opsoc, both onstage and off, that's it's really difficult to imagine it without you there. It's been lovely getting to know you, especially over last year and will definitely miss having you around. But I'm sure you are going to go on to do amazing things. Best of luck
