Chapter 179

A week goes by quickly. However, after this week's rehearsal, the effect is still very good, whether it is Xiao Yao's cooperation with the whole band, or the band's proficiency in Xiao Yao's singing and performance of "immortals", it has reached a satisfactory level. In the words of Jenna and the other three viewers, that is: "it's amazing

Tomorrow is the day of the school anniversary. The band members who have already had a good rehearsal effect are all a little excited. So after the rehearsal, instead of rushing to go home and have a rest, they get together and chat.

"I didn't expect that we could do that. If tomorrow we can keep the level of today's rehearsal, we will certainly be in the limelight Mike longed to say, "tomorrow's school anniversary is not only for the students in the school, but also for some famous people who graduated from our school in previous years. There are big people and big stars in it."

"Oh," compared with other people's excitement and tension, Xiao Yao was quite calm. When he was a child, he took photos with Chen Xuan everywhere. He saw many big stars in Europe and America, but naturally he was not as excited as others.

Seeing Xiao Yao's calm expression, Dean couldn't help saying to Xiao Yao, "Yang, do you really only stay in the West Bridge for one year?"

"Yes, exchange students only have one year." Xiao Yao nodded.

"What a pity," Dean sighed, shaking his head. "If only you could really transfer. We can make you captain and keep the band going

"Cosamin is in the twelfth grade, and she's going to college next year." Xiao Yao pointed to samien and said, "isn't this band going to have fewer people next year?"

"You can call me Sam." Seeing that Xiao Yao mentioned himself, samien suddenly addressed Xiao Yao. Sammy is the full name, Dean's name, Sammy is the nickname, is the name of family and extremely close friends. Sam, for short, is already a very good friend.

Dean looked at Samin in surprise, then looked at Xiao Yao and continued: "since our band has changed its name, it is no longer limited to a school student band. Even if Sammy goes to college, the school she chooses should not be too far away from home. There are many good universities in Los Angeles, and college students have more free time. We can still get together often. But if you go back to China, it will be very difficult for our band to make great progress. "

Seeing that George and Mike also nodded, Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile and said, "thank you for valuing me so much, but I still have relatives and good friends in China. It's acceptable to come here for a year, but I don't think about changing school. I don't want to leave them like this

"Good friend? "Girlfriends?" Hearing Xiao Yao's reply, Dean, who was taught to respect his family and other people's choices since childhood, did not continue to force Xiao Yao. Instead, he shifted his attention and began to gossip, "do you have a girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend?" Xiao Yao was stunned when he heard this question, and a pretty figure suddenly flashed into his mind. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "No

"Really?" Xiao Yao's hesitation did not escape the eyes of Samin, so Samin asked: "why do I think you are lying?"

"It's a bit complicated, but it's not a lie. It's not." Xiao Yao said with a bitter smile.

"So, Sammy, you still have a chance. Hurry up and leave Yang behind." Dean laughs at samien.

"Go to hell!" Said Samin angrily, kicking Dean's ass.

George and Mike give Dean a disgruntled look, but a moment later, they droop their eyelids.

The annual celebration is the tradition of Xiqiao middle school, which has a long history. As usual, the school will send out invitation to the excellent alumni who graduated in previous years. Of course, even the graduates of previous years who are relatively ordinary in career and achievement are very welcome to participate in the school celebration activities.

Xiao Yao's first experience of the American high school celebration activities, even in the case of the band has a performance task, or quietly sneak out to feel some.

American high school celebrations seem to pay more attention to students' feelings, and the contents of the activities are more interesting. Compared with the domestic schools, they also pay more attention to the sports honor and art honor of school students. Therefore, in addition to students' academic achievements, the introduction of students' achievements in sports and art is also a key point.

This can also be seen from the arrangement of school day activities. In addition to campus sightseeing and performance introduction, the school also specially arranged a basketball performance competition and an artistic performance.

Xiao Yao naturally won't participate in campus sightseeing and performance introduction, but he went to watch the basketball performance match for more than ten minutes. Xiao Yao also focused on the performance of Joey Olsen, the captain of the basketball team who had a holiday. It is found that Joey, as the team leader, is a relatively flexible power forward in the interior. His physical fitness and basketball skills are very good among high school students. The only disadvantage seems to be that the players are more general and like to be reckless. It is estimated that this is also the reason why Westbridge middle school has a relatively general performance in the California high school basketball league.The basketball performance match is arranged on the morning of the school anniversary, and the artistic performance is arranged in the afternoon.

Xiqiao middle school has two classical musicians who are popular all over the country, one is a classical pianist and the other is a cellist. Therefore, Xiqiao middle school has a good tradition in music, especially classical music. But classical music is more valued by adults, and middle school students are more interested in pop music.

Rock band is an indispensable part of pop music, so even the band of Xiqiao middle school has always been relatively average and its popularity is limited. But in the school day performance, they are also indispensable.

Unlike schools in China, which usually put performances in the school auditorium, Xiqiao middle school's artistic performances are performed in the open air. In a large lawn space of the school, a wooden stage was built temporarily, and the performance was performed on the stage. And the audience has no seats. Whether it is school administrators, teachers or returning star alumni or ordinary alumni, they are all mixed up with the students and stand on the grass beside the stage to watch, which makes it more atmosphere.

Xiqiao middle school band has also performed in the school before. Although people have a general feeling about their performance, on such a day, the performance of a rock band can improve the atmosphere of the scene. Seeing the band members moving musical instruments to prepare for the stage, the students below still gave some cheers and whistles to their face.

Soon, the students around the stage found some changes in the band. The man with the electric guitar on his back is not Nick Rockwell, a white student in the 11th grade, but a Chinese. When he faced the audience, many people who could see his face clearly recognized him immediately and exclaimed, "Kung Fu Yang! How did he become a band guitarist? What about Nick? "

"Cindy, they're calling Kung Fu young? What's that? " Under the stage, the sweet looking Betty with long straight blonde hair asked curiously a school administrator accompanying her.

Now in her thirties, Betty Bellet has begun to fade out of the modeling circle and transform into her own fashion brand. However, she is still a star in the entertainment and fashion circles of the United States, who used to be the first sister of EVA show and the top fashion model. She graduated from Xiqiao middle school at that time, and naturally she was one of the star alumni invited by the school on its anniversary.

Betty's home is on Beverly Hills, not far from Calabasas. Therefore, as long as time permits, Betty will gladly participate in the annual invitation of her alma mater. This year's school day, Betty just idle at home, it is logical to appear here.

"They're talking about the guitarist on stage." The school administrator named Cindy, who was wearing professional clothes with Betty, pointed to Xiao Yao on the stage and said, "he's an international exchange student from China. The students say he knows Chinese Kung Fu, so they call him Kung Fu Yang."

"Kung Fu? Really? " Betty continued to ask curiously, "is that great?"

"I think so," Cindy nodded. "I heard he beat the captain of the school basketball team on the third day of school. He was punished by the school for this. " She didn't have the sense that she couldn't make a public of her family ugliness.

"That's Joey in the number five at the morning basketball game? Joey is a full size bigger than him Betty said in surprise. In the morning of the basketball game, Cindy introduced him to the captain of the school basketball team.

"Yes," Cindy said with a smile, "that's why people call him Kung Fu Yang."

After Cindy said this, Betty looked at the Chinese teenager on the stage with great interest. With such a careful look, Betty suddenly felt a little familiar with the Chinese teenagers on the stage.

"Hello, everyone. I'm very happy to perform here." When the band members on the stage were ready, they didn't immediately start the performance. Instead, Dean, as the lead singer, stood in front of the microphone and said hello to everyone. The audience also gave face to applause and scream in response.

"There's something to announce before we start the show." After a pause of applause and screaming, Dean continued, "band guitarist Nick Rockwell has quit the band for personal reasons. We are sorry for his quitting."

"Oh..." the students who just asked Nick where he had gone showed a sudden expression.

"But "We have a new guitarist in our band," Dean said in a loud, excited voice With that, Dean pointed to Xiao Yao and said, "that's Yang Xiao from China. That's what we all call Kung Fu Yang!"

"Wow Hearing Dean's introduction, many students who only heard Xiao Yao's name but didn't see him gave out an excited shout.

On the stage, Xiao Yao performed a short guitar solo and responded to the shouting.

Among the shouts of the students, there was a cry from Betty bellette. But her voice was drowned in the shouts of the students. Even Cindy, who was beside her, turned her eyes to Xiao Yao on the stage and didn't hear her.“ Young.Shaw ？ ... ys
