February has come and gone at Hatzic Secondary and despite the lack of snow days, students have had a blast.
At the very beginning of the month, Hatzic held its annual Winter Formal dinner and dance. Organized and publicized by Hatzic’s very own leadership students, the dance was a huge success. The cafeteria dazzled with romantic red rose center pieces and the gym sparkled with balloons and vibrantly coloured lights. Much Music hosted the dance with two giant projector screens that played music videos and the famous “Cha-Cha Slide”. Grade Eleven and Twelve students showed up dressed to impress and danced the night away to a wide mix of music from Lady GaGa to Journey with “Don’t Stop Believing”. Everything from the intricate invitations to the delicious food prepared by Hatzic’s culinary arts students was exquisite. Hatzic would like to thank everyone involved, especially the patient chaperones, for another amazing Winter Formal.
After the successful dinner dance, Hatzic’s musical theater group went into overdrive to prepare for their production “100 Years of Broadway”. The ensemble of many Broadway classics was incorporated and connected by student-written skits into an amazing show of musical and artistic talent. Even choreographed by students, the musical was filled with great dance numbers, entertaining acrobatics, and humorous skits. The entire school was invited to two afternoon shows and no once came away disappointed. The students were impressed with the caliber of talent especially seen in the glamorous rendition of “Jesus Christ Superstar”. The evening shows of February 24th and 25th also included a delectable dessert during intermission. As this is the first musical Hatzic has held in its own facilities instead of the Clarke, we are very proud to present it. Hatzic would like to congratulate all the students who have poured their heart and soul into this production ever since September. Another congratulations and huge ‘thank you’ goes out to the teachers who put their time and effort so willingly into the project.
The next production on Hatzic’s horizon is this year’s Murder Mystery dinner theatre. Auditions start next week and the production will take the stage at the end of April.
Again, Hatzic sends out its gratitude and congratulations to the Winter Formal organizers and the “100 Years of Broadway” cast and crew on another job well done! Hatzic wishes everyone an amazing and safe spring break!
