I saw the last performance in this summer. Actually, Before I saw this musical, I did not understand why this kind of trite high school love story is the most loved for all Americans. The story line, events and all charators in the film stand for what America and its culture are.

Prom Party
 

One of the most unfogetable events of high school In the United States is a prom, short for promenade, held at the end of the senior year in high school. It is a formal dance or gathering of high school students. It is a big party for seniors to celerbrate their finishing their high school years. Boys usually dress in tuxedos, and girls traditionally wear dresses.

Prom tickets are sold at school and treated as school events. Prom tickets are traditionally purchased by boys for the couple. The name is derived from the late nineteenth century practice of a promenade ball. The end of year tradition stemmed from the graduation ball tradition.



Prom king & Queen

Prom King and Queen are amongst the top honors in High School. Selecting the prom king and queen has been a tradition for many years in high school proms. The crowning of the Prom Queen and Prom King is the high point of every school Prom.

To become a Prom Queen is the secret dream of every girl. But it takes years of excellent conduct' hard work and efforts on personality development that will make you great Prom Queen material in your school.

Cheerleading

Cheerleading's increasing popularity in recent decades has made it a prominent feature in high-school themed movies and television shows. The stereotype sticks that cheerleaders are no more than skinny girls in short skirts, standing on the sideline, shouting phrases like "Go Team, Go!" Another common stereotype surrounding cheerleaders is that they are popular, attractive, and often quite rude. This stereotype is enforced by television shows, movies, and other media that portray cheerleaders as ditsy blondes, typically popular, and rude to others.

Cheerleading originates in the United States, and remains a predominantly American activity, with an estimated 1.5 million participants in all-star cheerleading. The growing presentation of the sport to a global audience has been led by the 1997 start of broadcasts of cheerleading competition by ESPN International and the worldwide release of the 2000 film Bring it On.

In high school, there are usually two squads per school—a varsity team and a junior varsity team. Some schools also include a freshman level of the sport in order to develop skills as the athletes mature. High school cheerleading contains aspects of school spirit as well as competition. These squads have become a part of a year-round sport, starting with tryouts in the spring, to year-round practice, to sporting events to cheer at in the fall and winter, and to cheerleading competitions.

The school spirit aspect of cheerleading involves cheering, supporting, and "pumping up" the crowd at football games, basketball games, and even wrestling meets. With this they also make posters, perform at pep rallies, and bring school spirit to the other students.




High School Football

High school football is referring to the American code in the United States and one of the most popular interscholastic sports at high schools.

High school football, also known as prep football or preps football. Many other traditions of high school football such as pep rallies, marching bands, mascots, and homecoming games are mirrored in college football.

The first game of the season is usually in early September and the final regular season game is usually in mid-November. The vast majority of high school football games are scheduled for Friday nights, with Thursday evenings and Saturdays being less heavily used. Alternate days are most common in larger school districts where the facilities are used by multiple schools, or where the playing field is not illuminated for nighttime use.

Every high school team in every state has a mascot or team name. Many are generic allusions conveying an image sense of strength, speed, and bravery. Thus, pluralized team names such as Tigers, Eagles, Wildcats, Trojans, and Warriors are fairly common throughout the country. Other team names, however, have a historical connection to the town or area where the high school or school district is located, such as a locally-important industry. Many new schools, or schools that had merged with other schools, have allowed their students to "vote" on a new school mascot or team nickname.
