About me:
Hello! We are West Lake High School's Show Choir, The Syncopated Sensations. To date we are one of the highest scoring Show choirs in the country. Here is a little information about each of us and a few other people you should know around the school...
***JESSIE NEWTON JOHN*** is first and foremost the acting vocal captain and choreographer for the Sensations. Jessie's Aunt Olivia is his role model and he gets a lot of his talent and advice from her. The Sensations are Jessie's best friends in the whole world and he loves them all and their exceptional talent more than he can say, but excellence is always a priority and he will not settle for less! Jessie's goals for the rest of the year include getting superior scores at all competitions, getting new cummerbunds for the group, and preparing for college at AMDA.
***KIPPY KALER*** is a cheerleader for the West Lake Eagles sports teams, but being a Sensation is her passion. Kippy, with her natural pep, always has a way of making everyone feel good about themselves. Kippy has had some hardships this school year, but knows her friends will always be there to re-pep her. Kippy's goals include getting back together with Mike, cutting back on her whipped cream intake, and getting back together with Mike.
***LUM DING O'REILLY*** is the most spiritual student at West Lake High. Having a strong upbringing in Christian/Asian religions, Lum Ding is the voice of reason for the Sensations. Lum Ding's unconditional love for all things, especially his egg baby Bochoi, always leave the Sensations inspired to do good things. Lum Ding's goals are to hone his fatherhood skills with Bochoi, receive the Fellowship of Christian Athletes scholarship, and to instill faith in all his peers.
***TIARA LYNN KELLY*** is the self-proclaimed songbird of West Lake High and spokesperson for her family's cookie company. Tiara is always on top of what's going on at West Lake, as well as the latest fashions and trends. Tiara is a multi-threat, being a singer, model, actress, and a dancer, and, at heart, a great friend...when she's not checking her makeup or hair, or practicing her modeling poses...Tiara's goals include being top model at Barbizon, being the first person at school to star in a major motion picture, and to help Kippy get over Mike!
***JIMMY PHIL TONY BOB LEE*** is his nickname, short for James Phillip Anthony Robert Lee Stafford. A recent transplant from a very small town called Bile, Texas, Jimmy has made quite an adjustment to this suburban life. Jimmy is the second oldest in a family of 18, and is cared for by his sister Fancy. As a Sensation, what Jimmy lacks for in skill he makes up with heart. Jimmy's goals include graduating, winning employee of the of the month at Chick Fil-A, and getting all his choreography right.
***GRAPENUT BROWN*** Always down to earth and always one with nature, Grapenut is the cornerstone in reminding the Sensations to be confident in yourself no matter how different you may seem. Grapenut is always accompanied by her most trusted and loved companion Poncho, a "sweet" little yellow bird that resides on her shoulder. Grapenut's goals include banning meat products from the school lunch menu, building Poncho his dream birdhouse, and to obtain her carpentry license.
***JEAN MICHELLE VALJEAN*** West Lake's newest addition. A foreign exchange student from France, Jean Michelle, with her good heart and incredible knack for the needle and thread has warmed the hearts of all of the Sensations and has been welcomed in as one of their own. Jean Michelle enjoys fashion & design,cooking, & American Music.
BEWARE OF the Soc's! They are the nasty quad who seem to be the most popular at West Lake, and at the same time so awful.
***TAFFY & TOFFEE TEPPERMAN*** The not-so-twin sisters that have it out for the Sensations. Taffy & Toffee are an inseperable pair that are always looking to ruin someone's day...even if it's each other's.
***MIKE MEADOWS*** Not only is Mike the biggest jock in school, he's also the biggest idiot. Making dumb jokes, burping for extended periods of time, and some sports seem to be his only talents.
***VINCE WENTWORTH*** Vince is probably the most low-key of the four. Vince is Mike's best friend and he is also into sports, though a bit more intelligent than his buddy. Although Vince contributes to the Soc's ideas of fun, sometimes it's hard to tell if he's really getting pleasure out of it.
**Holly Feffen*** Holly is not really in a clique, but has latched on to Taffy and Toffee. In her struggle to be cool she will basically do anything they say...and does. Infamous for her banana clip collection and voted biggest hair by the yearbook committee.
***Fancy Stafford*** Jimmy Phil Tony Bob Lee's sister. As sole provider for their family, Fancy is an executive in the world's oldest profession. Fancy is caring and will do ANYTHING to make sure her sisters and brothers are taken care of. With a heart of gold and breasts of platinum, Fancy will make sure she never lets her mama down because she is her family's last chance.
