80’s School Music Review

Submitted by david.thacker on

This school year the students of Spanish Fork Junior High practiced and performed a school musical. In this musical they performed 80’s hits from 80’s movies. Throughout this long journey the students practiced until almost perfect. Tryouts happened in January. Everyone who tried out made it, and the soloist for songs were chosen. Through the endless practices of learning the songs and dances, the week of the performances finally came. Cast members anxiously awaited the performances. The opening night was a blast.
