Edited by: Jasjeet Grovera This year is Cameron Heights 50th anniversary. To commemorate this occasion, Mrs. Carmichael and Mr. Kemp created and ran the 50th Musical; a five-decade extravaganza. This incredible event on April 5th and 6th lead our Gaels through the several decades of our school. It covered everything from history to school-life and best of all: the fantastic music. The process required a lot of hard work and dedication from the cast. As Mr. Kemp says, “It was like practicing for a sport. Until game day you never really know what it’s going to be like, but it was fantastic having students that were committed to having the best show we could possibly put on.“ Practices ran all through the week, Mondays through Fridays, on the stage where the cast worked incredibly hard to set the show-up. Each decade was divided into two scenes, MC section and several singing performances in between. All of the effort paid off as the performance was a huge success and the show double sold on Friday. “Everyone killed it. It was so great, and it made me so proud to be from Cameron Heights and to see the talent all the things I was worried about were fixed, and people kind of stepped up, people brought their A game. I’m not a man of many emotions but oh my gosh it was so impressive, and the band was phenomenal.” Mr. Kemp says in response to the massive success of the musical. And the students agree. During the dress rehearsal, fantastic feedback was given to the cast by senior students, and the reviews were phenomenal. The cast stayed cheery and motivated throughout the whole process. One of the cast members, Amanda, says: “The cast is so positive and fun to work with. The musical has been an incredibly fun experience. Watching the show evolve from nothing to a full play. It’s crazy how much can be done when you put your mind to it.” There were so many talented people involved, the actors and actresses nailed the scenes reenacting life back then - with jokes that will leave you overwhelmed with laughter. The singers did amazing, singing songs from each of the decades with their unique twists. Not to mention, the MCs who recapped all the significant events of each decade. And of course, it’s impossible to forget about the incredible tech crew, band, stage help and teachers who made this all come to life. The entire musical was an amazing experience for both the cast and the audience, it was a great night for everyone. Cameron heights will have another musical in the near future, and we hope you will come. |
