Carson students display their talent with Arts Alive

Thursday night at Carson High School students in the Arts programs put on a free performance displaying their talents in Dance, Chorus, Band & the popular Theatre program. 

The evening started with the dance students showing their moves under black lights that were strung over the stage allowing for their costumes and outfits to glow. Dancers performed to music ranging from Rhianna to classic 80's medleys with music from Run DMC, Michael Jackson and more. Each performance had dancers wearing costumes to add to the vibe of the music and glow from the black light.

The Chorus students took to the stage next to perform classic 80's and 90's hits from their opening song the Metallica classic "Nothing else matters" The vocal groups second performance of the night to us to the 90's with the iconic song from The Pretenders "I'll stand by you" with the vocalist ending their night with a medley from 80's band Journey and a beautiful rendition of "Faithfully."

The band not only took to the stage but the aisle ways of the auditorium as they performed music from Van Halen with "Jump" and Bon Jovi with "Livin' on a prayer." While members of the band were up on stage along with members of the color guard. While band members from the brass section lined the sides of the auditorium. There is no doubt if you have been to any of the Carson football games this season you have enjoyed the band playing in the stands during the games and on the field during halftime.
