Entertaining Children

  Chapter 179 School Celebration Performance

  One week passed quickly. However, after this week's rehearsal, the effect is still very good. Whether it is the cooperation of Xiao Yao and the whole band, or the band's proficiency in the singing and performance of Xiao Yao's "Immortals", they have reached a satisfactory level. In the words of Jenna and other three viewers, it was: "It's so **** awesome!"

  Tomorrow is the day of the school celebration. The band members whose rehearsal results have been very good are all a little excited. Therefore, after the rehearsal, everyone did not rush to go home to rest, but gathered to chat together.

"I didn't expect that we could achieve this effect. If tomorrow we can maintain the level of today's rehearsal, we will definitely be able to show off." Mike longed, "Tomorrow's celebration is not only for the students in the school, but there will be previous years. For some famous people who graduated from this school, there are big people and big stars in them."

   "Oh," Compared to the excitement and nervousness of other people, Xiao Yao appeared quite calm. When I was young, I followed Chen Xuan to take pictures everywhere. He had seen a lot of big stars in Europe and America, so naturally he was not as excited as others.

   Seeing Xiao Yao’s calm expression, Dean couldn’t help but said to Xiao Yao: “Yang, are you really only staying in Xiqiao for a year?”

   "Yes, exchange students originally only have one year." Xiao Yao nodded.

   "It's a pity," Dean sighed, shaking his head, "It would be great if you can really transfer over. We can let you be the captain of the band and let this band exist forever."

   "But Samin is already in the twelfth grade, and she will go to university next year." Xiao Yao pointed to Samin and said, "Isn't this band going to have fewer players next year?"

  "You can call me Sam." Seeing Xiao Yao mentioned himself, Samien suddenly called Xiao Yao. Samien is the full name, and Dean's Sami is a nickname, which is called by family members and extremely close friends. And Sam is short for her, and those who can call her are already very close friends.

Dean glanced at Samin with a little surprise, then looked at Xiao Yao and continued: "Since our band has even changed its name, it is no longer limited to a school student band. Even if Sammy goes to school. University. Based on my understanding of her, the school she chose should not be too far away from home. There are many good universities in the Los Angeles area, and college students have more free time, and we can still get together often. But if you go back to China, it will be difficult for our band to have a big development."

Seeing George and Mike nodding their heads, Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head and said, "Thank you for taking me so seriously, but I still have relatives in China, and I also have good friends. It's acceptable to come here for a year, but you can transfer to another school. I don’t think about coming here, I don’t want to just leave them like this."

"Good friend? Girlfriend?" Hearing Xiao Yao's answer, Dean, who was educated to respect his family and the choices of others, did not continue to force Xiao Yao, but turned his attention and started gossiping, "You have a girlfriend. ?"

  "Girlfriend?" Xiao Yao was stunned when he heard this question, and a pretty figure suddenly flashed into his mind. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yao still shook his head and said, "No."

   "Really?" Xiao Yao's hesitation did not escape Samien's eyes, so Samien asked, "Why do I think you are lying."

  "It's a bit complicated, but it's not a lie, it really doesn't." Xiao Yao smiled bitterly.

   "So, Sammy, you still have a chance, hurry up and leave Yang behind." Dean laughed and teased Samien.

   "Go to death!" Samien angered, kicking Dean's **** with his leg up.

  George and Mike gave Dean a dissatisfied look, but after a while, the two of them drooped their eyelids somewhat discouraged.

  The annual school celebration is the tradition of the historic school of West Bridge Middle School. As usual, the school will send out invitations to the outstanding alumni who graduated in previous years to come back to school. Of course, even for graduates who are relatively ordinary in their careers and achievements, the school welcomes them to return to school to participate in the school's school celebration activities.

   Xiao Yao experienced an American middle school celebration event for the first time. Even when the band had a performance task, he still slipped out quietly to experience it.

  American high school celebration activities seem to place more emphasis on students’ feelings, and the content of the activities is also more interesting. The sports honors and artistic honors obtained by school students are also more valued than domestic schools. Therefore, in addition to students' academic achievements, the introduction of students' achievements in sports and art is also a key point.

  This can also be seen from the arrangement of school celebration activities. In addition to the regular events such as campus sightseeing and performance introduction, the school also specially arranged a basketball exhibition game and a theatrical performance.

  Campus sightseeing and performance introduction Xiao Yao will naturally not participate in it, but he went to watch the basketball exhibition game for ten minutes. Xiao Yao also focused on the performance of Joey Olsen, the captain of the basketball team during the holidays. I found that Joey, as the team captain, is also a relatively flexible power forward in the inside. The physical fitness and basketball skills are very good among high school students. The only drawback seems to be that the ball quotient is relatively average and I like it. Reckless, it is estimated that this is also the reason why West Bridge Middle School's performance in California's high school basketball league is relatively average.

  The basketball exhibition game is arranged in the morning of the school anniversary, and the theatrical performances are placed in the afternoon.

  West Bridge Middle School has experienced two popular classical musicians in the United States, a classical pianist and a cellist. Therefore, West Bridge Middle School has always had a good tradition in music, especially classical music. But classical music is more valued by adults, and middle school students are more interested in pop music.

  Rock bands are an indispensable part of pop music, so even if the level of West Bridge Middle School bands has always been relatively average, their popularity is limited. But in the theatrical performance of the school celebration, they are also indispensable.

  Different from schools in China where performances are usually placed in the school auditorium, the theatrical performances of Xiqiao Middle School are performed in the open air. On a large lawn open space in the school, a wooden stage was temporarily set up, and the performance was performed on the stage. The audience has no seats. Whether it is school administrators, teachers, star alumni and ordinary alumni who are returning to school, they all mix with the students and stand on the grass beside the stage to watch, which makes it more atmosphere.

  The West Bridge Middle School band had performed publicly before. Although everyone felt normal about their performance, on such a day, a rock band’s performance could very well enhance the atmosphere of the scene. Seeing the band members move their instruments to prepare for the stage, the students below still made some cheers and whistles for the face.

  Soon, the students standing around the stage noticed some changes in the band. The person who was carrying the electric guitar to connect the lines and tune was not the eleventh grade white student Nick Rockwell that everyone was familiar with before, but seemed to be a Chinese. When he faced the audience, many of the audience who saw his face recognized him immediately and exclaimed: "Kung Fu Young! How did he become a band guitarist? Nick?"

   "Cindy, they are called Kung Fu Yang? What is that?" Betty Betty, who looked sweet and had long straight blond hair, asked curiously a school administrator who accompanied him.

Now in her thirties, Betty Belet has gradually faded out of the model circle and has transformed her own fashion clothing brand. However, once the first sister of the Eva show and the top model in the fashion industry, she is still in the American entertainment and fashion circles. Star in the movie. She graduated from West Bridge Middle School that year, and was naturally one of the star alumni invited by the school on the school day.

  Betty’s home is on Beverly Hills, not far from Calabasas. Therefore, as long as time permits, Betty will gladly participate in the annual celebration invitation of his alma mater. This year's school anniversary, Betty happened to be at home at leisure, and it was logical to appear here.

"They are talking about the guitarist on the stage." The school administrator named Cindy, who was accompanied by Betty in a professional attire, pointed to Xiao Yao on the stage and said, "He is an international exchange student from China. The students said he knows Chinese Kung Fu, so they called him Kung Fu Yang."

   "Kung Fu? Really?" Betty continued to ask curiously, "Is it great?"

   "I think so," Cindy nodded, "I heard that he beat the captain of the school basketball team on the third day of school. She was also punished by the school for this." She didn't have any sense of ugliness.

   "That's the Joey in the No. 5 jersey in the morning basketball game? Joey is a full size bigger than him." Betty was surprised. In the morning basketball game, Cindy focused on introducing him to the captain of the school basketball team.

   "Yes," Cindy smiled, "That's why everyone calls him Kung Fu Yang."

  After Cindy said so, Betty looked closely at the Chinese teenager on stage with great interest. Looking at it carefully, Betty suddenly felt a little familiar with the Chinese teenagers on the stage.

   "Hello everyone, I'm very happy to be here to perform for everyone." When the band members on stage were ready, they didn't start the performance right away. Instead, Dean, the lead singer, stood in front of the microphone and greeted everyone. The audience in the audience also responded with applause and screams to the face.

"Before the performance begins, there are some things to announce to everyone." After everyone's applause and screaming paused, Dean continued, "The band guitarist Nick Rockwell has resigned from the band for personal reasons. Regarding his withdrawal, we felt regret."

   "Oh..." The students in the audience who had asked where Nick had gone just now showed a dazed expression.

"But!" Dean said loudly with excitement, "Our band also has a new guitarist." With that, Dean pointed his finger at Xiao Yao and said, "That is Yang Xiao from China, that is, we all Said Kung Fu Yang!"

   "Wow!" Hearing Dean's introduction, many students who only heard of Xiao Yao but did not see him screamed in excitement.

  On the stage, Xiao Yao performed a short guitar solo with a cool improvisation, in response to the shouts from the audience.

  Amidst the shouts of the students, there was an exclamation from Betty Belet. It's just that her voice was drowned in the shouts of the students, even Cindy around him turned his attention to Xiao Yao on the stage at this time, and didn't hear it.

  "Young.Shaw?...YS! Little young!!!"
