Drill Team’s second
annual PJ Party

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.
