Each semester the SCA and Renaissance class hosts a renaissance rally to reward those students who have earned the title of a ‘Renaissance Kid’. To become a Renaissance Kid, students must achieve certain standards with their GPA and attendance. At this year’s fall renaissance rally, the SCA organized events such as pie-in-face and performances from the dance team, cheerleaders and the girl’s cross-country team. This spring, the SCA has two major performances planned to keep the crowd entertained.
The spring rally will also feature the famous hypnotist, Tom DeLuca. DeLuca performed for HHS in 2007, and the SCA decided to bring him back this year. DeLuca started his performance in 2007 by getting volunteers from the audience. He hypnotized his volunteers, breaking down their mental barriers and fear so their imagination was more open. One-by-one the volunteers entertained the crowd by doing ridiculous things.
He was able to convince his volunteers that they could speak other made-up languages, that they were in love with fruit, or that they were secret agents who sprayed themselves in the face with a water gun. Senior Hannah Thigpen was one of the audience members for the 2007 performance.
“The things he was able to make people do were hilarious,” Thigpen said. “I’m excited to see what he does this year.” DeLuca will return to HHS on March 10 for the spring renaissance rally.
