The lights once again put the spotlight on the shining Silver Stars when they performed their annual Spring Shows. But this show was in a much different predicament than previous years with the space that they normally occupy being flooded by rain.

Each show is a masterpiece of its own, inspiration taken from the directors and brought to life by professionals hired for the occasion.

“We actually hire a professional to choreograph the show” Silver Star Assistant Director Jennifer Bennett said “Each dance is different but this one was about the technology of communication and how to communicate.”

The Spring Show was not without its complications but even with all these bumps in the program the Silver Star family pulled through.

“This time was completely different because it was in the gym, we were told the Friday before our show and had to change everything” Bennett said “Our fathers came together to build us a new stage in the gym. It was much much different.”

Everyone seemed pleased, and at the end of a crazy weekend it was officially a success.

“Yes, it went really well, people were pleased and said it was more of a production.” Bennett said.

For junior Caroline Texeira having the spotlight on her is nothing out of the ordinary, but even the best get uneasy in the face of a big show.

“It’s not hard to perform in front of others because I have been performing all my life” Teixeira said “Friday was hard because the whole school was there”

The Silver Stars keep busy, and with the Spring Show marking the end of the season, The Silver Stars take time to train the new recruits in their show style.

“Usually a week in between not a lot of time off between seasons” Teixeira said “We also have new team practice for the newbies, the sophomores practice with us for two weeks”

To make the show come alive they must spend ample time practicing and keeping in shape, sophomore Morgan Andrews does exactly that.

“[I practice] every morning and sometimes after school as well” Andrews said.

Expression, showing the audience grandiose, and making the show come to life,  are what the Silver Stars strive for in every show.

“We believe in the performance being the best it can be and sharing the moment with the audience,” Andrews said.
