Exciting news Cardinals, Alicia Keys, who famously stopped a Hoover last year to shoot a Nike campaign, has agreed to a special performance for Hoover.
The concert will take place in the football field and the students will be called to attendance through the intercom during their fourth period. The performance will last an hour and Keys will set up a merch stand by the bathrooms to sell merchandise with all the proceeds going towards building a new visual arts complex on Hoover’s campus.
There will be a pep rally during lunch in the big gym where Keys will give a speech and do a Q and A with the students. There will also be a dance contest for students where the winners will receive a special reward from Keys herself. During this time, Keys will read out winning ticket numbers which will be passed out to the first 100 students who enter the gym. Winners from the raffle will get the chance to take a solo or group picture with Keys, and receive printed copies as well.
In preparation for her arrival, the Hoover community is encouraging the students to create posters and letters to hang up for Alicia Keys, during tutoring and lunch prior to the concert date. Materials will be available for the creation of these posters to be made.
As a reminder for our Cardinals, remember to be respectful since Keys is taking time out of her busy schedule to come and perform for Hoover. Students will be in sections according to grade, with seniors front and center. Everyone is asked to stay seated and listen to the teachers and adults instruction, and most importantly have fun.
April Fools!
