SING! Top Five

Top 5 Pop Culture References

Junior SING!

“I can’t… My skin will sparkle. I don’t want my boyfriend Edward to dump me!” – Countess Chocula (Rebecca Temkin)
The Twilight series reference is made when Toucan Sam (Harris Dupre) and Pop (Sadie Bergen) dare Countess Chocula to step into the sunlight; she, in turn, pulls out a life-size cardboard [...]

Senior SING!: Rising from the Underworld

“Save yourselves while you still can!” Taking the same advice that a Spartan (Joey Bzomowski) gave to the demigods, the seniors did more than just save themselves. Instead of being discouraged by their Friday performance, which did not have as awe-inspiring of an effect as the audience hoped for, they returned Saturday night with a [...]

Soph-Frosh SING!: Wii (Sort of) Rock

“Tonight we shut them down, we pwn them, because we can,” Pikachu said with confidence moments before the final battle of Soph-Frosh SING! commenced. Although the team of video game characters prevails in the end, the Soph-Frosh script failed to do the same. Amidst a few bright spots, the two grades came together with a [...]

Junior SING!: “They’re Grrrrreat!”

So says Tony the Tiger, Private Eye (Arik Raviv) in just one of the expected word puns in a SING! that had low expectations. Few people outside the junior grade expected a theme of cereal to be successful. Senior SING! devoted half of its spirit song to making fun of the “dumb” plot and even [...]

Square Diner: Cheap and Chic

In New York City, food is everywhere. On almost every block there are numerous restaurants, delis and cafés. However, for an average high school student, many of these places are just too expensive. Nonetheless, every so often, a venue that is both cheap and delicious comes around. That place is Square Diner—affectionately called “the Square”—which [...]

Not the Best Jamaican Fix

A buttery crust filled with piping hot, spicy filling—if only the school could make beef patties right. I was never a fan of these “school” patties and hoped to some day sample the real Jamaican version. I thought I would accomplish this goal when I discovered Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery and Grill.
Golden Krust is a [...]

A Festival for the Family

The New York International Children’s Film Festival (NYICFF) was created in 1997 based on the idea that children and teens could handle cinematic works with visual, emotional and intellectual complexity, or at least, more than what mainstream media gave them credit for. Held annually, the NYICFF finds and presents pieces from all over the world [...]

Stuy Squad Show to Benefit Haiti

Hoping to out-dazzle last year’s show, Stuy Squad, Stuyvesant’s dance club, met their expectation after putting on an eclectic show that boasted an array of modern, traditional, ballroom and even comedic dance performances. The coordinated step and hip-hop crews excited the audience, while the graceful ballroom and individual performances had some breathtaking moves. The show’s [...]
