Sophomore Taylor Fish displays her talents on the piano to Tyra Williams and Juan Novela. Plenty of practice and rehearsals were needed to prepare for the final performances. “Hours and hours. We’d spend weekends here and all night here,” Fish said.

Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan and the rest of the cast of characters from Disney’s High School Musical hit the stage at Akins in December, recalling beloved characters for many high school-aged students.

Because High School Musical was released in the mid 2000’s when many current high-schoolers were young, it holds a special place in many of their hearts.

Students were happy to discover that High School Musical would hit the stage here at Akins.

“I remember when I was a kid and the first movie in the series came out, I loved it,” senior Damaris Hernandez said. “Seeing it come to life during my last year here at Akins was pretty great.”

With the success of this musical, students are hoping that in the near future, more modern day renditions of productions will be made.
