Bravo! at CRCS Wows

French III Period 3 performed "Plus Fort" by Julien Granel

COBLESKILL — Cobleskill-Richmondville High School’s 20th annual Bravo! performance brought an evening of music, culture, and student talent to the stage, highlighting the creativity and dedication of students in the World Languages program.

Bravo! is an international-style lip-sync performance in which students enrolled in French and Spanish courses interpret songs through choreography, costumes, and visual storytelling. Each class works collaboratively to learn lyrics in another language and present a performance that helps the audience understand the message of the song.

This year’s event featured a variety of dynamic performances that showcased not only students’ language skills, but also their ability to express meaning through movement and artistic interpretation. The program continues to serve as a unique and engaging way to bring language learning to life.

The World Languages Department extends its appreciation to all who contributed to the success of the event, including the stage crew and Mr. Lent, district administration, event judges, family and friends in attendance, and the custodial staff. Special recognition is given to the students for their enthusiasm, courage, and commitment throughout the process.
