11 life lessons from the school spring show

When you want to impress, wear a power color.

Sombreros make everything more fun.

No matter how much you've got going on, sometimes you just have to sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

When in doubt about what to do, flash a dazzling smile.

Play the tambourine like a boss. Because nobody really knows the right way to play a tambourine, anyway.
