In line with the Golden Globes theme, performers sang and danced to theme songs from popular movies and television shows. Before the show began, students were delighted to view some of our own “celebrities” dressed up on the red carpet. One of the celebrities to grace the stage was Derek Zoolander, played by Coach Zmuda, who gave us his best “Magnum” impression.

Ms. Nichols and Mr. Dill were the enthusiastic hosts for the event. The show kicked off with junior Matt Speer singing and playing on the guitar “Dare You to Move” from the movie “A Walk to Remember,” the Best Teen Drama winner of the Maroon and Golden Globes. Next was the song and dance recreation of the “Cell Block Tango” (from Best Musical “Chicago”) by Addie Hampton, Asako Yamauchi, Holly Hanson, Brett Williams, Shira Lebow, and Brooke Yates. The ever-so-talented Ms. Traci Blanchard wowed the crowd with her rendition of “Because You Loved Me” from the movie voted Best Romance, “Up Close and Personal.” Next, Lassiter students Stacey Sneed, Ricardo Dones, Katie Edelen, Brittany Gerberich, Marcus Thomas, and Jonathan Watkins got their groove on to the song “Blowin’ Me Up” from the hit movie “Drumline,” which was voted Best Dance Sequence.

Junior Maddie McConnell lit up the stage with her performance of “I Do Love You” from the movie acknowledged for Best New Artist, “Coyote Ugly.” Perhaps one of the most memorable performances of the show took place thanks to Coach Mark Zmuda, who sang “In the Jungle” from the “Lion King” soundtrack. Coach Zmuda was accompanied by two backup dancers, Anna Gleyzer and Chris Jordan. Next, a group of students impressed the crowd with their dancing abilities to the song “Eye to Eye” from “A Goofy Movie,” awarded Best Animated Movie. Sophomore Addie Hampton, who was one of last year’s American Idol winners, left the audience in amazement when she sang “Pearl Harbor’s” “There You’ll Be”, which was voted Best Drama. Ending the event with a bang was Mike Jansen, Billy Justineau, Richard Carney, and Alex McWalters, who performed the “O.C.” theme song “California” and made the crowd go wild. After the final performance, all of the performers came back out on stage and each was given a Trojan Doll for an award.
