2 NEWS Friday, November 7, 2014 Glendale High School Explosion Drill Team’s second annual PJ Party BY MISO DAM News Editor Drill team hosted its second PJ Party on Oct. 17 in the gymnasiums and dance room. The event successfully had over 400 students attend. Migelle Orobia, a GHS senior who attended the PJ Party, said he was glad he went and he enjoyed the free hair cuts offered. The event lasted for nearly 4 hours and “not a minute was boring!” said student, Shereen Garcia. The Party included free hair cuts, bounce houses, movies, free popcorn, candy, and much more. The event featured two scary movies, The Conjuring and Annabelle, and two comedies, Tammy and 22 Jump Street. Kristian Buhl, the head captain of the dance team, said he is extremely proud of his team for putting together a successful event and the outcome of it made it even more amazing. He says, “I’m glad the school got to enjoy something my team has worked so hard on.” This year’s event was unique due to the free haircuts, the obstacle course, and interactive bounce houses. Students were also able to get Polaroid pictures from the photo booth. Concession stand food ranged from chocolate pudding dirt cups, candy, pa- zookies, pizza, ice cream ﬂoats, and more Halloween themed treats. The biggest success of the night was the Karaoke corner where students of all grade levels sung together, laughed, and rooted for their peers. The Karaoke station also played the role as the sound system for the night, so students all over the gym were able to enjoy the music. Arya Sinha and Pabasara Ranasinghe, two seniors, spent the night drawing elaborate Henna tattoos on attendees. Students were excited to get designs from the two talented girls and were smiling with excitement as they got their temporary tattoo drawn. Drill team’s week-long lunch rallies, dress up days, and mass Social media posts had a considerable hand in helping to make the PJ Party such a huge success. Through the lunch games, students who participated were able to win free tickets to the event as well as PJ Party T-shirts. The night ended with most of the attendees in the large gym watching Annabelle for their ﬁrst time. The audience screamed and shouted in shock but overall, everyone enjoyed their time. As Marco Zamora described it, “it was like one big sleepover with all your friends!” We can look forward to Drill Team’s next event, the annual school talent show, Variety Show, on Nov. 20-21 in the John Wayne Performing Arts Center.
