Cirque du Seniors Review

Prince William: Dear Katy, didn’t the senior decorations look just posh today?

Catherine Middleton: Why indeed Willy! I almost wanted to eat the popcorn out of the trash can; although that would have been quite uncourtly.

PW: The circus tent banner sure made me feel like I was at the circus.

CM: Even the flags and backdrop were emanating red. I pulled my eyes from the elaborate backdrop and my attention turned to the opening strum of the guitar and the band on stage.

PW: The opening song was certainly different from other singing air bands and it revved up the audience for the performance yet to come.

CM: With the start of the variety show and martial arts air bands, I fell into the groove of a circus.

PW: As the characters were introduced, I noticed that there was only one character each for the Freshmen and Junior classes.

CM: Yes, didn’t you also notice that the Junior was repeatedly portrayed as an unintelligent Indiana Jones?

PW: Why yes! Even the Juniors seemed to notice that and clapped their hands over their heads.

CM: Speaking of audience reactions, the people doing the voiceovers seemed out of sync at times causing some awkward pauses.

PW: The Kennedy Joker’s role was animated and sent a chill through my bones. However, the resolution of the conflict was not clear and the Joker’s influence seemed to vanish.

CM: There were some sweet parts though! The ringleader’s speech touched my heart.

PW: Furthermore, I would’ve liked to see more air bands that complemented the actual skit, and not all clustered at the end during the “greatest show on earth.”

CM: The concept was unique and understandable with regard to their theme of a circus show.

PW: However, the skit was long and so was the cluster of air bands.

CM: The air bands were enjoyable and the variety of dances was entertaining. I think I might enroll in Tahitian dancing classes. The intricate choreography of the Tahitian dance was splendid.

PW: I think I may try to “bust some moves” with the hip-hoppers and the break dancers.

CM: Oh and don’t you try to sneak a peek at the all-girl’s dance.

PW: Fine, but did you see that beat-boxer? His beat-boxing was phenomenal.

CM: It was unfortunate that the seniors did not get to finish their skit due to the lack of time.

PW: Nevertheless, the seniors always unite wonderfully at the end though.

CM: Coming to watch the seniors was definitely worth it.
