"This shows allows so many students to be involved and highlight their skills. Our AV classes supplied students to be the “crew” who filmed the fight. Our football, soccer and baseball players were the boxers and some speaking/singing parts. Our dancers were all cheerleaders and track team members. This was a whole school event with our marketing class working on the posters and logos. Our local boxing gym sent us a trainer to help with all of the boxing so the boys had to act, sing, dance and box."
