Lipsync this year was by far the best we’ve ever seen. After a week of class rivalries and competition, the students came together Friday in a sea of red and white.
The freshmen definitely showed the upperclassmen they were not to be forgotten in a stunning performance. The “12 Coming Through” pink bus and rapping girls made it a memorable start to the lipsync competition. The crowd went crazy when the freshmen played Lil Wayne’s smash hit “A Milli” together with their own “Lil Wayne” representing their class spirit. Despite having half-eaten apples aimed at the performers, they kept cool and showed that nothing was going to hold them back.
Even though it was their first lipsync, the sophomores performed just as well as the upperclassmen. Highlights include a “Barbie Girl” complete with a Ken and throwing green paper money up in the air for everyone to see.
The juniors came back with another great performance, ending a very successful week for them. Although they couldn’t beat the reigning seniors, they showed that they were a force to be contended with. Girls showed up in their orange shirts as “Jabbawockeez” from Americas Best Dance Crew performing to “Pretty Young Thing” by the one and only Michael Jackson.
As the tradition goes, seniors took first place again in the competition. Their eye-popping performance made it highly memorable for all to see. Every moment of the ’09 performance was unforgettable. Flying paper airplanes from the crowd and Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” with senior boys in lacey lingerie made it especially fun to watch. No one could beat the seniors in this competition.
Overall, all of the hard work students put into making this the best lipsync ever showed during the last day of Homecoming week. Let’s hope next year’s lipsync will live up to this one.

wtf. the song is called PYT (PRETTY YOUNG THANG) by michael jackson. WHAT is little young thing????
The “orange shirts” are a Supreme Soul x Invisible Stripes original. “Know Your Rank” is a phrase Pharside uses often to keep people in line (Really, isn’t it more fitting for the seniors to use it? Juniors, know YOUR rank! lol). Supreme Soul was also on America’s Best Dance Crew, Season 2. C’mon, don’t forget one of the best crews to ever dance on that stage! They’re from the Bay Area!
And ’09 was definitely the craziest performance. Whoo!! ’09, get in line!
They wore know your rank shirts and they did a jabbawockeez routine to PYT.
09 beasteddddd.
juniors were lame….they should have come in third and the sophomores should have come in second. and even the they know it
but overall everyone was really good!!!!
“As the tradition goes, seniors took first place again in the competition.” yaaa. lipsync is soooo rigged. it’s never gonna change. no doubt the seniors did a good job but even if we did better they still wouldve won. and of course…the seniors needed to win SOMETHING lol…
Sophmores were good with the Barbie girl. But seniors were the best with Katy Perry. Way to go Cougars!
man freshman freakin rocke da stage we shoulda won we da best!!!!!!!
