The drama crew over at Welland Centennial Secondary School have plenty to cheer about.

Last week the school’s 2018 musical production of Bring It On cleaned up at The Cappies, picking up 21 nominations and 11 awards during the annual awards gala recognizing high school drama production. Journalism and English students are trained as critics to review and judge the student productions. This year the gala took place on May 23 at Centennial.

“There was a lot of recognition,” said drama teacher and director Max Ingrao, noting among the accolades the Centennial show — which brought the school’s championship cheerleading squad o stage for the aerobatic feats included in the script following the rivalry of two high school cheer squads — picked up the top song award for Cross the Line, and won best musical out of seven other DSBN productions.

Caitlyn MacInnis also won for best supporting actress in a musical, for her presentation of the character Danielle, and Abby Etling picked up the award for best lead actress in a musical, for her role as Campbell.
