In this top 10 ranking music video, LMFAO and various dancers and stuntmen perform to their hit single, Party Rock Anthem. The video includes fun dance moves and truly amazing stunts (not to mention the popular “boxhead” character) after two of the band members come out of comas due to “excessive party rocking.” Viewers will love the video as much as they love the song, which was in iTune’s Top 10 consistently for weeks.

Football fans will recognize this spectacular touchdown flip done by the Bengals’  Jerome Simpson. However, if you have not already seen it, I suggest you take a minute to watch it. It was a real feat for a huge player to flip over another player with football pads on. If you’ve seen this move or not, check it out — you’ll like it either way.

The all county jazz band concert was held last night at Arundel High School featuring 10 Broadneck students. With only 19 students in the band, Broadneck students made up for over half of the group, showing the schools excellence in music. Broadneck students included Zak Whipp on tenor saxophone: Josef Anwuzia on Alto, Miranda Daughton on baritone sax, Nate Strang and Teddy Gabor on trumpet, Paul Pesnell and Nolan Stelz on trombone, Devon Baummer on bass, Christian Larson on guitar and Evan Flack on drums. The group played eight selections including, “Hit the Bricks,” a Gordon Goodwin piece with which the group finished the concert. The event wrapped up the all county season for Anne Arundel County in which many Broadneck students participated in all county orchestra, band, and jazz band events.

As to be expected, the halls of Broadneck were filled with candy, red and pink galore this Tuesday while students celebrated Valentine’s Day. Students and teachers alike were keen to show off their valentine’s wardrobe and decorations. Classes were also filled with gifts of flowers and chocolate as teen romance was present throughout the entire school.

The club has its meetings Wednesday after school in the cafeteria and they are supervised by Ms. Keller. They have a Facebook page that the leaders keep updated on the status of the patients and time and place of their meetings.

Performers wait for the results after the show.

The second Broadneck Talent show was held Saturday night featuring many performances by Broadneck students.

Holly Siebel and Maddie Poole won the audience applause competition with the loudest cheers after their vocal act. Other acts included “The David and Cole Experience,” by David Hutchins and Cole McCarren and a special performance by Louie Kerdock, son of Broadneck teacher Jennifer Kerdock. He recieved a standing for heis performance of “Who’s Lovin You” by the Jackson 5. The night was hosted by local funny me David Hanon and Pablo Escabosa who kept the audience thourouly entertained inbetween acts. Proceeds from the event went to benefit the Junior Class.

When people come to California Tortilla the first thing they notice is the impressive soda fountain, similar to the one at Moe’s Southwest Grill. The soda fountain is a cornucopia of happiness in a cup with much more variety than the average fountain. The menu at California Tortilla is full of variety, including tacos, burritos and salads. Come to Cal Tort for a meal full of spunk.

4.5 out of 5 stars (Bring back the Thai peanut burrito!!)

It was a night of improvised fun as the Broadneck Improv Team provided the audience with constant laughter as they put on the Broadneck Improv Show. The night featured completely unplanned acts based on comedic games which only provided the basis for the comedy while the improvisers had to come up with comedic material on the spot. Games such as “bus stop,” in which improvisers show off funny quirks to partners sitting on a bus bench and “world’s worst,” where the team was given a profession a had to imitate the world’s worst person at that job, were crowd favorites. Members of the audience were also included during a game in which the improviser could only moved if moved by an audience member on stage. Friday night’s improv show was the second leg of entertainment at Broadneck this weekend, bridging the gap between Thursday and Saturday nights’ Talent shows.  Tomorrow night’s event starts at 7 PM and will be held in the Broadneck auditorium.

But what if I asked what happened?. Sure, you could tell me that the Giants won a nail-biter as the Patriots couldn’t pull together a last minute drive. You probably remember the safety the Giants scored on early in the game; that’s because it happened last week. What are we going to remember in a year, maybe two?

If you’re a huge Giants or Pats fan everything will be crystal clear; for the general public, however, it was just another Super Bowl. No unforgettable plays to be talked about for the ages, no drives of pure perfection; it was just your average, run of the mill game.

Many will point to the excitement towards the end when the Patriots had a shot for an 80 yard game winning drive, but I mean really? Yes he’s Tom Brady, but C’mon, 80 yards is 80 yards, it wasn’t going to happen.
       

Lets also not forget that the drive wouldn’t have been possible if the Giant’s running back wouldn’t have fallen into the end zone, and instead taken a knee. If he would have done the right thing, the Giants would have kicked a field goal and the Patriots would have had about 20 seconds to drive into field goal range. That is absolutely impossible.

So now begins the long wait until the next season and next years Super Bowl. Unfortunately, football fans weren’t given much to talk about, except maybe the halftime show. How horrible was that!

Ashley Zachary and Jack Bandaranko took home first place at Thursday night’s talent show kicking off an event filled weekend for Broadneck High. The event featured acts by Broadneck students including Madeline Poole and Holly Seibel performance of ”1000 Ships” and Kennedy Stevens rendition of “Love on Top” by Beyoncé. Stevens also won the night’s cheer off receiving the most audience applause for her performance. Comedic hosts also added to show with local funny men Pablo Escabosa and David Hannon leading the festivities. Other events this weekend include the Improv Show Friday night and a second Talent Show on Saturday.

Tim Tebow no longer has the name of athlete in our society, he is a social icon. You can’t bend down on one knee without someone, somewhere, screaming TEBOW! It’s impossible to talk a about religion without someone either making fun of or praising him. Even out here in Annapolis, Maryland, over 2,000 mile away from where Tim Tebow plays football, everyone is talking about him. He’s just that big.

For those of you who still don’t have any idea what I’m talking about, Tim Tebow is a quarterback for the Denver Broncos, a team in the NFL. He is most famous for his late game comebacks and humble Christan background. Ever heard someone say Tebow time? They’re referring to the last 9 minutes of the game when Tebow has the best numbers of any quarterback in the league. Ever heard someone say they’re Tebowing? It’s a kneeling pose he does before the game while praying.

Like I said, he’s a Christan: praying before every game, the talk of his growing up with parents who are missionaries, pointing to the sky after every touchdown. This aspect of him is the most controversial as many think it’s all fake and just another ploy to sell jerseys. In college, he even wrote “John 3:16” under his eyes during games. Even though it may seem to be just one big ploy, he’s been doing it for a pretty long time and it would have been pretty hard to pull it off the entire time.

So love him or hate him, believe him or be a doubter watch or be a skeptic, but there’s no denying it, he’s part of our culture. Even if you don’t want to, you’re going to have to deal with it for a long long time, or until he gets benched.
