DMHS High Schoolers perform "Spamalot!"

On December 8th and 9th, 10th-12th grade theater students performed their annual musical. This year's production was "Spamalot," a whacky musical based on the cult classic movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Fans of the film saw many of their favorite Monty Python lines and songs brought to life, with some new twists and turns thrown into the original story. 

This was the final DMHS musical for seniors Marisa Mulryan, Kirra Lindauer, Joaquin Weeda, Drew Wood, and China Omenai. We thank them for so many years of wonderful performances, and wish them well in their future theater endeavors!

Please see below for photos and a cast list from the production!

The Day of The Dead was first celebrated in the 16 century by the Aztecs. They believed that when they put up their ofrendas (altars) that they were giving food to the spirits for their long journey to the land of the dead. The Aztecs had 2 days to celebrate: the first day was for the kids and the second day was for the adults. On these days they were not grieving; they were celebrating the lives of dead family members and what they applied in that time and the person that they were in life.

Stars seem white to the naked eye when we are on Earth and looking at them, but when looking at a picture taken from space it shows that the stars actually have colors. Stars can actually come in almost every shade of the rainbow.

Stars produce light, which causes light waves to happen. Light can be seen in different colors depending on the wavelength of light, and that same wavelength can change the temperature of the star.
