It's Mary, taking a picture, of someone ELSE taking a picture. It's crazy!
|
|
|
|
It's early morning on Saturday, Groundhog Day. We slowly shamble about the Drama room getting ready.
|
|
|
|
Lauren was ready to go, though!
|
|
|
|
Once we got into Land o' Lakes High we realized we would be competing at distinct disadvantage: everything would be performed at a Dutch angle.
|
|
|
|
Susan took time out of her busy "fill out paperwork three times" schedule for this quick picture.
|
|
|
|
|
Katherine opened up the competitions with her signature "morning howl" and we were ready to begin.
|
|
|
|
Miranda led the group in a "tai chi" demonstration. Again at Dutch angle.
|
|
|
|
Angel was so overcome with awe and energy that she swiftly fell asleep.
|
|
|
|
Cayla, before she realized that the pool for the high dive was not filled.
|
|
|
|
Thankfully, Christoph broke Cayla's fall, and was then nursed back to health by Chanel.
|
|
|
|
|
Chrissy even caught up with former WCHS Thespian Kim Morin, who has sinced got herself rezoned to WRHS, to help found our neighboring troupe!
|
|
|
|
For some bizarre reason I didn't realize until afterwards, my arms and shoulders appear to be following the dark line of the mural behind me.
|
|
|
|
Miss Taylor, our super co-sponsor helped keep watch over the cafeteria to ensure no nonsense was taking place!
|
|
|
|
Susan and Cailyn practiced "Agnes of God" outside in the courtyard to a very limited audience.
|
|
|
|
Cayla, Katherine and Alex like to sit down hunched in courtyards. Here they are doing just that.
|
|
|
|
|
Miranda, and Miranda's Mom hanging out between scenes at the Duet Acting room.
|
|
|
|
Mrs. Ross, Jessicuppy and Josh hanging out.
|
|
|
|
We were all hanging out after the events watching for the Critics' Choice and watching them get posted one by one.
|
|
|
|
All of them were up, except Tech and Ensemble Acting. Then Tech came up. Not us, d'oh!
|
|
|
|
So we just hung out and posed for random group shots. This is random group shot #1,741 out of the many I received.
|
|
|
|
|
But wait! Karly, Andrew and Chrissy won! They won Ensemble Acting - Best in District!
|
|
|
|
Tanner was all, "Egad! I say! A Critics' Choice! I say, well done old boys!"
|
|
|
|
Here's actual photographic proof that we won. Woop woop!
|
|
|
|
Lindsay, doing some last minute cramming while listening to her motivational iPod tracks.
|
|
|
|
Mary made an impassioned speech about success, and recounted the successes of the troupe in an epic ballad celebrating our latest victory.
|
|
|
|
|
Josh was like yeah, epic ballad, okay. That's uh, pretty good.
|
|
|
|
Miranda was so tired that she actually literally fell asleep in the hallway.
|
|
|
|
Christoph, Josh, and Mary performing their ad lib scene, "Whose Flamingo Is It Anyway?"
|
|
|
|
The Exec Council of 2008, all in one place at a public event, in blatant defiance of strict troupe rules designed to dissuade assassination attempts.
|
|
|
|
Our troupe stands for two things: 1. Peace, and 2. Cool aerial photography.
|
|
|
|
|
Another cool high-angle photo.
|
|
|
|
Cailyn met up with former 6172 troupe member Michael Moran, who is now a Wiregrass Ranch VIP. He even has a "power beret" to show it!
|
|
|
|
The scenic LOLHS "gymatorium" where we would be kicked out, mid-closing ceremonies so the girls' basketball team could play.
|
|
|
|
Katherine, and somebody pointing at her program. Photographic gold!
|
|
|
|
I was just standing there, and Alex took my picture. I'm like, "Get away from me, Alex." And he didn't!
|
|
|
|
|
|
So I pulled a Sean Penn. Bam! Problem solved.
|
|
|
|
Then we went to Closing Ceremonies.
|
|
|
|
We sat in neat rows and applauded at the right times.
|
|
|
|
Andrew, Karly and Chrissy performed "The Tarantino Variation" at the Closing Ceremonies.
|
|
|
|
The fluorescent water pistols had to have their triggers glued shut, and I had to check them in with the District Chairperson. >.>
|
|
|
|
|
Chrissy, holding the cool Ensemble Acting trophy that now lives in the Drama room.
|
|
|
|
Andrew, going OG with his ribbons and buttons yo?
|
|
|
|
Then it was time to go home.
|
|
|
|
Rosie did that trick where she unhinges her jaw and then snaps it back into place.
|
|
|
|
There was much hugging.
