One of the best ways to decompress after a hard day of school or work is enjoying a night of comedy and music, which was found in the West Jordan High School auditorium with the showing of Curtains, put on by the musical theatre class, Spotlights. Not only was it funny but genuinely well put together: with individualized characters, a very involved ensemble, great choreography, and amazing singing.
My personal favourite parts were the meta jokes, some of them written into the script and some chosen by the directors as easter eggs for those who are involved in the school’s theatre program. Some of which included a cancelled Mamma Mia poster alluding to the fall musical done earlier in the year, and changing the name of the person working the theatre’s lights to match the student who was actually working them.
Overall it was a very successful show, with most of the cast having nothing but praises towards the experience, and the seniors being happy at their ending show. So be sure to look for updates on the shows next year and if you’re not auditioning make sure to come support!
I’ve been to lots of concerts at our high school, but this year's spring Dance Company performance is one of my all time favorites. Over the years, I’ve attended a multitude of choir, band, orchestra, dance and other concerts put on by our various performing arts groups. Out of all of these, Dance Co put on a very special show for us this year.
The night I attended for the concert was the Dance Co’s senior night. After the performance, all the seniors were brought on stage to be recognized. Their parents were there to congratulate them, and it was very emotional. Even as an outsider I could see that this group of girls was as close as family. While it was amazing to recognize the hard work put in by these seniors, the performance itself was a sight to see.
As always, watching Dance Co perform is a spectacle. They are all in sync, well timed with the music, and pull off amazing moves that I didn’t even know were possible. One of my favorite parts of the performance this year was the costumes. Some were simple, while others were alien shaped, but they were always perfectly appropriate for the dance. My personal favorite performance was a solo performed by Senior Gracie Oldroyd. Throughout the whole performance, I could see the passion for the sport in Gracie’s eyes. Congratulations on an awesome performance Dance Co, it was the perfect sendoff for all the seniors who have put their hearts and souls into dance. Thank you.
“Everything is awesome” I say to myself while building Legos. Get what I did there? I thought I would rank all my Legos with you all. Most of my Lego collection is Star Wars because I’m a little nerd. I have been collecting Legos for a couple years now. I have too many Legos to name them all so I'll give you guys my top 5!
I’ll start at number 5. At this spot I have my Paris City of Love Lego set. It took me a while to build it because I made a mistake. There was one piece that was stuck behind the little buildings and the Eiffel Tower. Ok, next at my number 4 I have my Darth Vader Mask Lego. This Lego was one of my first Legos to add to my collection. There were a lot of black pieces so it was a little hard finding some of the pieces.
Now time for the podium, at number 3 I have my Mona Lisa Lego. I got on discount for half off. It was pretty cool to see it come along as I was building. Enough with that though, at number 2 I got my Star Wars Logo Lego. This I got for Christmas and built as soon as I was done opening presents. This looks super dope next to my gaming set up.
Finally at number 1 I got my Millenium Falcon. Now before we get ahead of ourselves this isn't the huge one we all know and love. I have the $80 dollar one. Me and all my friends got legos and built them with each other. I have on my dresser as of now and it looks so cool.
