Tran said the wins against Smithson Valley and Alamo Heights gave the team a morale boost to take on the Raiders tonight. “I know we were not 100% confident in those games,” Tran said. “But, Rouse is a big opponent for sure. We’re definitely going into tonight with a lot of morale [because of the previous wins].”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/frances-tran.jpg)

Terry said his proudest moments are when his students are happy to see him. “When I take my wife to a football game or something and a bunch of students want to say hi to me or they like to smile and wave and it just makes me feel good that the students are really kind and supportive of me,” Terry said. “[I’m also] proud when I see students perform really well in their extracurriculars because I can see how hard they’re working in my classes, [so] when I see that they’re also working so hard in other things. Like they’re winning band competitions or they’re getting awards for their theater productions, or I see them put on their choir shows, that’s like, wow, you guys are incredible.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rags-6.png)

Celebs make time for Timeless Classics
Dancing to the Beach Boys, juniors Cassidy Cadena and Caroline Woodall dance to the song “Fun, Fun, Fun” at the Spring Show on Apr. 30. The dance had all the juniors on the Celebrities team dancing together. “It was really exciting and fun dancing to the song,” Cadena said. “My favorite part of the dance was when I was lifted in the air by Mason Parker, I was really nervous about the timing but it all worked out really well.”

After three days of performances, the Cedar Park Celebrities Spring Show came to an end on May 2. The performances started on Apr. 30 and the theme was Timeless Classics. One of the sets was based on the famous eighties’ movie “Dirty Dancing,” and was the best routine according to junior Jessie Thiemann.
“Oh my gosh, it was so much fun,” Thiemann said. “I had only seen the movie once, so it was fun to see the movie and then choreograph the routine from that. Then having us all in the triangle and then all spread out, I don’t know how to describe it because it was just so amazing.”
The showcase also included a performance by the Celebrities’ escorts called the “Guy’s Dance.” The dance consisted of the guys performing a routine and then a freestyle dance towards the end. The end of the dance included a stunt where the boys picked each other up or did back-flips off the stage.
“I found it so hilarious, this is the first time they’ve done this and they didn’t even remember the full dance,” junior celebrity Hope Lyle said. “The dance is so funny. I had to dance on the wings so the guys wouldn’t forget their choreography. Having them dance was completely ridiculous and funny.”
The performances of the night also included dances from dances companies, like MUV, and a performance from the school Jazz Band on Friday night.
“The dance company performers especially know what they’re doing,” sophomore manager Erin McFarland said. “They dance 40 hours a week, so they’re definitely the real professionals. The band has always seemed to bring in a lot of people, it’s nice that they come out and support all of us.”
The next showcase is the MUV showcase on the last day of school, Jun. 6. The Cedar Park Celebrities will be hosting the showcase in the PAC and will be free to the public.

Balakrishnan applied to 18 colleges in total, but she decided on Columbia in the end. “Right before I clicked the button to open Columbia’s letter, I literally looked at the camera and go ‘This is just gonna really suck because I wanted it so bad,’ and I clicked it and all of a sudden you hear trumpets,” Balakrishnan said. “There’s a video that plays when you open it and I actually didn’t watch the video, I just watched the screen go black, because every day of December before ED [Early Decision] I would go on YouTube and watch the acceptance video to manifest it, so immediately when the screen went black, I started screaming and jumping up and down. And my parents in the video are like ‘What are you doing, where’s the letter,’ and I was just screaming ‘I got in, I got in.” I just started crying, and it just felt like everything in the world came together.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ariana-2-300x217.jpg)
