Celeb spring show aims to Inspire audience
April 25, 2014
The Celebrities dance team of Cedar Park High School ended their 2013-14 dance season with their annual Spring Show April 10-12. The show included the Celebrities, Emeralds and other members of the high school’s dance classes. This year’s theme was Inspire, and the team integrated a lot of inspiration from people in their personal lives to make the show come alive.
“The show was centered around the different things that inspire our team, such as hard workers and people who continue on in the face of difficult times,” Junior social officer Kaleigh Welch said. “We focused on what inspired us and how we could inspire our school and community throughout the whole year rather than just the show.”
The Celebrities did a number of performances that brought the team together, and as Welch can attest to, teamwork is an important part of dance.
“Our team was much closer this year than last year’s team, and our dancing showed it,” Welch said. “Being such good friends with all the girls makes us perform better and more cohesively.”
Senior captain Devan Dudek agreed.
“It is really easy to see how well we work as a team through our dances,” Dudek said. “It shined through and made our dances that much better.”
The team, comprised of seniors, juniors and a few underclassmen, will have a lot of returning members for the 2014-15 season. With officer tryouts having just ended, the team is eagerly looking forward to next year.
“There are many talented girls who will be on the team next year,” Welch said. “It will also be my 6th Spring Show as well as my last, and I am really looking forward to it.”

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].”
