This past Friday Millbrook held the annual Winterfest show, which showcases the Millbrook arts department including dance team, theater, and technical theater. Also, the outstanding seniors are recognized for their wonderful efforts while at Millbrook. Winterfest takes lots of planning and  practice to make sure everything runs smoothly the day of the show; the gym was set-up the Wednesday before the show to ensure that there was plenty of time to practice. 

  Winterfest consists of students and teachers singing, dancing, and performing. The Millbrook dance team put on a dance during the show that they worked on to make perfect for Winterfest. Gabbie Hostler, a senior on the team, says, “We put together a dance to perform that was fun for us and for the school to watch.” The dance team performed a choreographed dance that had a compilation of songs and were able to get the school involved and entertained. Other performers sang songs to showcase their talent to the school. The Teacher Band performed at the end which was electric, and the students enjoyed it cheering very loudly for them. Keely Weareness, a senior, sat in the front row and said, “all of the performers were awesome and it was a fun show to watch, very entertaining.” 

  Winterfest is not only a showcase for talent, it also recognizes the seniors who were awarded with outstanding seniors. These are seniors who were nominated by teachers or fellow students, then voted by their peers to get this award. Fifteen seniors received this award and at Winterfest they were recognized. A teacher who has impacted them the most over their time at Millbrook spoke a few words for them as they were escorted by their parents in front of the crowd. Outstanding senior Hannah Olson says, “ I was honored to receive this award, and it was awesome to get to celebrate this honor with my parents and fellow students all there. The Winterfest show brought the whole school together to celebrate all the wonderful talent.
