Celebrities’ Spring Show captures audiences

The narrator’s voice boomed over the audience, and the lights began to shine onto the stage. As the curtains opened, the Celebrities stood in their gleaming uniforms and performed the opening dance, “Diamonds,” for this year’s Spring Show.
The theme this year was “Dreams,” and the show was a dream in itself. With risky dance moves to heart-touching performances, the show made me feel as if I was dreaming, and I didn’t want to wake up. Every dance group brought on stage fully brought to life a “dream” show.
With many of my friends being a part of the Celebrities, I made the decision to go to two of the three showings, and I do not regret it. Each dance was performed with passion. One of my favorite dances was the “Senior” dance, especially on the last day of the show. The performance was full of emotion, and towards the end of the song the seniors began to cry, in turn, making me cry. It was surreal, even for me, because this was one of the last dances they performed together.
In between the Celebs dances, different out-of-school dance companies would take the stage. One of the companies was MUV. They performed in a hip-hop routine and blew the crowd away. It looked as if they were professionals, when really they were my age. Sure does make me feel great about myself.
A crowd favorite was the Disney dance. After the 15 minute intermission, the Celebs took the stage once more and performed, by far, the cutest dance routine. The line officers were dressed in tourist-like outfits, as they headed to Disney World. They took the crowd along on a journey through the different Disney performances, with the “Pirates of the Caribbean,” the Haunted Mansion, and ending with the well-known fireworks. Each dance was wonderful, and quick. As the line officers toured “Disney World,” they were incorporated in each dance along the way, and at the end they all sat down and gazed at the fireworks, which were only stage lights and some background noise, but nevertheless, the performance was eye-catching and was performed very well.
To end the show, the Celebrities came out in their traditional uniform and performed the closing dance. Full of high-kicks, spins and cheers, the final dance was fun to watch, and quite impressive. It was saddening when the dance was finally over, the “dream” had ended, but it sure was a good one.
As I said before, I’m very glad I went two days in a row, one of them being the final show full of tears and happiness. I can’t wait to see what the theme will be next year.

Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”
