This was the first event ML Entertainment curated, produced and directed. At the time I was serving as one of the event coordinators for my high school's Student Council Association [SCA]. I mixed & choreographed a faculty dance, coordinated the reveal of a county special guest [Superintendent Steve Walts], organized the reimagined interactive student games, selected the event MCs and managed a group tasked with singing Halo by Beyoncé for an emotional student tribute for three students who passed away that academic year. I assembled a small team of creative Black students who helped make all of this a reality, with the support of the SCA and administration. Due to the elements of the show, the superintendent publicly thanked my team and me for the months of work to build the event. Additionally, seniors and faculty gave compliments saying, “This was the best pep rally I have ever been to!”

I built this teacher dance by examining interest from current staff then produced an engaging track to dance to you. After a quick turnaround from creation to rehearsal to performance, this well-received event element was born.
