Another Year of Celebrating
By Erica Garcia
The students of Osborne will perform on October in the Martha Bigham for the Hispanic Heritage. This year we hope to see all these different types of dances like: Cumbia, Norteña, Duranguense, Bachata, Salsa, and Merengue, etc…So that the students performing can show the rest of the other students that are not performing and that are not Latino, our culture. We hope that this will be the most talkative event that will happen in our school. Tryouts were on September 1, 2009. Every student that will perform will have to meet in Mrs. Grass, a Spanish teacher at OHS, classroom after school. Students are required to have good grades in order to perform and must attend Osborne High School.
Last years Hispanic Heritage Celebration was great! Everyone enjoyed the program. There were a lot of different dances that people didn’t know about that were shown. This year there will be many people signing up for the program. There will only be certain dances that will be able to perform at the program. Everyone that wants to perform must have a dance that is appropriate for the school. People have decided to practice more because of some accidents that occurred in the 2008 program. Yuleni Romero, a sophmore at OHS, stated, “I would like to see more unique steps, then the ones already shown before.” Many other students have mentioned the same thing, although few students try out.
Stage fright is usually the cause of why less and less students participate. The confidence they gain before starting their performance which helps them out a lot during the show. Some are afraid that they might mess up because the dance that their friends chose to do isn’t one that their really good at. At times when one student finds a dance that they would like to do others aren’t familiar with it, which causes them to loose track of time showing them step by step the whole routine.
Therefore, this year’s show will have high expectations.
