“It has been really good to re-connect with other students that I have met throughout School Spectacular and the theme, choreography, music and costumes will be amazing this year,” Savannah said. 
In coming months, Savannah and the thousands of other stars will be dedicated to rehearsals and mustering their energy and passions to create a world-class performance in the best traditions of Schools Spectacular.
