f .f ' 'J 4 .f-'I it . ..l , Gaafhwralf if fhe second annual Multi Cultural Night was a much anticipated event. The performers practiced for many exhausting nights and were ready to show their friends and family what all their hard work had been going towards. Before the performance there was a Multi Cultural Potluck, with different foods, beverages, and des- serts. Some Italian soda here, a little taco salad there, and not one unsatisfied person in the house. The anxious spectators made their way up to the gymnasium to watch the spectacular show. A quiet whis- per rose over the croud as the lights dimmed. The quiet didn't last for long as the thunderous sounds of the Chi- nese Lion drums filled the air. Among the many perfor- mances there was a traditional Dhfkmg, a Filipino dance, and the ballet folklorico, a Mexican Folk Dance. The Per- cussion Club and the school band played many beautiful pieces that made the audience feel as if they were travel- ing through the jungle, in a jazz hall, or in the presence of a professional orchestra. One of the most awaited acts was the Polynesian Dancers. They all moved beautifully with the music. The audience was left awe-struck by how synchronized all the dancers were. Even though Multi Cultrual Night has only been around for two years, it is a highly acclaimed event and was an all-around success! 20 W, .STUDENT LIFE Multcultural night was a fun and enter- taining way to see people participate. - Cassandra Tran '09 .,.a.,,Mwn We here at SHCP should celebrate all cultures because we are a diverse com- munity. -Patrick Hughes '07
