This spring, the Lincoln auditorium was filled with three different performances: the hamlet showcase performed by AP literature students, the Black Student Union assembly organized by LaBoris Perry, and the unity day assembly set up by ASB, each of which celebrated the different communities at Lincoln. At the Hamlet show, various groups of students performed their interpretation of scenes from Shakespeare's Hamlet transporting their characters and the audience from Washington parlors to upstate New York. This spring also debuted Lincoln’s first ever Black Student Union Assembly where students danced and tested others on their Black History knowledge through trivia. The unity day assembly started off with Lincoln Drum Corps performing in their “Super Mario” themed costumes then followed up with many funny videos from D&D club, Writing for publication, the japanese culture club, and JROTC. This Assembly also included skits from peer resources, ASB, and lion dance ME, finally closing off with all performing students dancing to “Lush Life” by Zara Larson.
