The week went by quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info However, after this week's rehearsals, the effect is still very good, whether it is the cooperation between Xiao Yao and the whole band, or the proficiency of the band in singing and playing Xiao Yao's "Immortals", it has reached a satisfactory level. In the words of Jenna and three other audience members, it was, "It's amazing****** amazing!"

Tomorrow is the day of the school anniversary, and the members of the band who have rehearsed well are a little excited, so after the rehearsal, everyone did not rush home to rest, but gathered together to chat.

"I didn't expect us to be able to do this. If we can maintain the same level as we did in today's rehearsal tomorrow, we will definitely be able to make a big show. Mike longed, "Tomorrow's school celebration will not only be the students in the school, but also some famous people who graduated from the school in previous years, and there will be big names and big stars." ”

"Oh," compared to the excitement and nervousness of the others, Xiao Yao was quite calm. When he was a child, he followed Chen Xuan everywhere to take pictures, and he had seen a lot of big stars in Europe and the United States, so he was naturally not as excited as others.

Seeing Xiao Yao's calm expression, Dean couldn't help but say to Xiao Yao: "Yang, do you really only stay in Xiqiao for a year?"

"Yes, exchange students are only one year old. Xiao Yao nodded.

"It's a shame," Dean shook his head and sighed, "if only you could actually transfer over." We can make you the leader of the band and keep the band alive. ”

"But Samion is in the twelfth grade, and she will be going to college next year. Xiao Yao pointed at Sarmid and said, "Won't there be fewer people in this band next year?"

"You can call me Sam. Seeing Xiao Yao mention himself, Sarmien suddenly said to Xiao Yao. Samion is the full name, and Sammy is the nickname that Dean calls him, from family and extremely close friends. And Sam is the abbreviation, and those who can call her like this are already very good friends.

Dean glanced at Sarmyne with some surprise, then looked at Xiao Yao and continued: "Since our band has even changed its name, it is no longer limited to a student band from one school. Even if Sammy goes to college, from what I know of her, the school she chooses should not be too far from home, and there are many good colleges 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 develop greatly. ”

Seeing that George and Mike also nodded, Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile and said, "Thank you for valuing me so much, but I still have relatives in Huaxia, and I also have very good friends." It's okay to come here for a year, but I don't think about transferring to another school, I don't want to just leave them. ”

"Good friend, girlfriend?" Hearing Xiao Yao's answer, Dean, who has been taught to respect family and respect other people's choices since he was a child, did not continue to force Xiao Yao, but shifted his attention and began to gossip, "Do 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 Sarmyne's eyes, so Sarmien asked, "Why do I think you are lying?" ”

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

"So, Sammy, you still have a chance, hurry up and leave Jan behind. Dean teased Samion with a smile.

"Die!" Samion said angrily, raising his leg and kicking Dean in the ass.

George and Mike glared at Dean disapprovingly, but after a few moments, they lowered their eyelids in some frustration.

The annual celebration is a tradition of the historic school at Westbridge Middle School. As usual, the school will send invitations to outstanding alumni who will graduate this year to attend the school. Of course, even the graduates of previous years who are relatively ordinary in their careers and achievements are very welcome for them to return to school to participate in the school celebrations.

Xiao Yao experienced the school celebration of an American middle school for the first time, and even when the band had a performance mission, he quietly slipped out to feel it.

American middle school celebrations seem to be more focused on students' feelings, and the content of the activities is more interesting. The athletic and artistic honors achieved by the school's students are also more important than those of domestic schools. Therefore, in addition to the student's academic performance, the presentation of the student's achievements in sports and the arts is also an important point.

This can also be seen in the arrangement of school celebration activities. In addition to the regular programs such as campus tours and score presentations, the school also arranged a basketball exhibition game and a theatrical performance.

Campus sightseeing and score introductionXiao Yao naturally did not participate, but went to watch the basketball exhibition game for about ten minutes. As the performance of Joey Olsen, the captain of the basketball team who has had a holiday, Xiao Yao also paid attention to it. found that Joey is the captain of the team, and the position is a relatively flexible power forward on the inside, and his physical fitness and basketball skills are very good among high school students, and the only drawback seems to be that the ball quotient is more average, and he likes to work hard, which is estimated to be the reason why Westbridge Middle School has a relatively average performance in the high school basketball league in California.

The basketball exhibition game is scheduled in the morning of the school anniversary, and the theatrical performance is held in the afternoon.

Westbridge Middle School has produced two classical musicians who are popular in the United States, a classical pianist and a cellist, so Westbridge Middle School has always had a good tradition in music, especially classical music. However, classical music is more important to 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 the Westbridge Middle School band has always been relatively average, their popularity has been limited. But in the theatrical performances of the school anniversary, they are also indispensable.

Unlike schools in China, where performances are usually held in school auditoriums, Xiqiao Middle School's theatrical performances are held in the open air. On a large lawn in the school, a temporary wooden stage was set up, and the performance took place on the stage. And the audience didn't have seats. Whether it is the school administrators, teachers, or returning star alumni and ordinary alumni, they all mingle with the students and stand on the grass by the stage to watch, which makes it more atmospheric.

The Westbridge Middle School Band has also performed publicly in the school before, and although everyone feels average about their performances, on such a day, the performance of a rock band can enhance the atmosphere of the scene. Seeing the band members moving their instruments to the stage to prepare, the students below still gave some cheers and whistles to save face.

Soon, the students gathered around the stage noticed some changes to the band. The man with the electric guitar on his back was not Nick Rockwell, a white 11th grade student you were familiar with, but seemed to be a Chinese. When he faced the audience, many of the audience who could see his face immediately recognized him and exclaimed, "Kung Fu Yang! How did he become a guitarist in the band?

"Cindy, are they calling Kung Fu Young? What is that?" asked Betty Bellet, a sweet-looking girl with straight blond hair, curiously asked a school administrator who was accompanying her.

Now in her thirties, Betty Belette began to slowly fade out of the modeling circle and transformed into her own fashion clothing brand, but she is still a star in the American entertainment and fashion industry, once the first sister of Eva Xiu and the top model in the fashion industry. She graduated from Xiqiao Middle School that year, and was naturally one of the star alumni invited by the school on the school anniversary.

Betty's home is on Beverly Hills, not far from Calabasas. Therefore, every year when the alma mater invites the anniversary, as long as time permits, Betty will gladly participate. On this year's school anniversary, Betty happened to be at home, so it was logical to appear here.

"They're talking about the guitarist on stage. The school administrator named Cindy, who was accompanied by Betty in professional clothes, pointed to Xiao Yao on the stage and said, "He is an international exchange student from Huaxia, and the students say that he knows Chinese kung fu, so they call him kung fu Yang." ”

"Kung Fu, really?" Betty continued to ask curiously, "is it amazing?"

"I think so," Cindy nodded, "I heard that he beat the captain of the school basketball team on the third day of school." He was also punished by the school for this. "She doesn't have any awareness that her family is ugly and can't be publicized.

"That was Joey in the number five jersey at the morning basketball game, and Joey was a whole size bigger than him. Betty said in surprise. During the morning basketball game, Cindy focused on introducing him to the captain of the school's basketball team.

"yes," Cindy laughed, "that's why everyone calls him Kung Fu Yang." ”

After Cindy said this, Betty was also very interested in the Chinese teenager on the stage, and looked at it carefully. After looking at it so carefully, Betty suddenly had a sense of déjà vu for the Chinese teenager on stage.

"Hello everyone, it's a great pleasure to be here for you. When the band members on stage were ready, they didn't start performing immediately, but Dean, as the lead singer, stood in front of the microphone and greeted everyone. The audience also responded with applause and screams.

"Before we start the show, there are some things to announce to everyone. After a pause in applause and screaming, Dean continued, "We regret that the band's guitarist, Nick Rockwell, has quit the band for personal reasons. ”

"Oh," the students in the audience who had just asked where Nick had gone, had a blank expression.

"But!" Dean exclaimed, with some excitement, "we have a new guitarist in the band. As he spoke, Dean pointed his finger at Xiao Yao and said, "That's Yang Xiao from Huaxia, which is what we all call Kung Fu Yang!"

"Wow!" Hearing Dean's introduction, many students who had only heard of Xiao Yao's name and had not seen him let out a shout of excitement.

Xiao Yao on the stage improvised a short guitar solo to respond to the shouts from the audience.

The shouts of the students were mixed with an exclamation from Betty Bellette. It's just that her voice was drowned in the shouts of the students, and even Cindy, who was beside her, also set her eyes on Xiao Yao on the stage at this time and didn't hear it.
