Terre Haute North awarded grant to perform a musical
Students will perform a new and revised version of the musical 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown'. The revised musical is a rags-to-riches story about Molly Brown, a champion of women's rights, labor rights, and immigration reform.
Two local marching bands headed to state championship in upcoming weeks
The grant involved a nationwide competition application process, and Terre Haute North is one of several other schools nationally to receive this award. The performance will be held in North's auditorium, on May 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
'We are very excited to get started with this show. It's been a long time coming,' said Michelle Azar, Director of Musical Theater and Choir Teacher. 'We've been working on it all fall.'
'I have an incredible support system with all of my friends,' said Jaiden Ellsworth who is playing Molly Brown. 'So it really is an honor to play such a memorable and strong women.'
'It's so not well known and it's great that we get to be the people to make it more well known,' said Zakk Massa who is playing J.J. Brown.
Tickets can be purchased on the school's website.

Jennifer Lawrence Zhuzhes Up a White Tee for Date Night
Regardless of your philosophy on date night outfits—whether you prefer to dress up or keep it casual—everyone wants to feel their best. For Jennifer Lawrence, nothing's better than a plain white tee. Last night, for a parents' night out with her husband Cooke Maroney, the actor donned a simple crewneck T-shirt and a billowing black A-line midi skirt. But as Lawrence knows, accessorizing does the heavy lifting when elevating a look from day to night. (Another subscriber to this sartorial school of thought? Rihanna, whose layered jewelry and silk scarf recently turned a pair of pajamas into daywear.) BACKGRID USA Over her white T-shirt, Lawrence added an intriguing black blazer (likely from Australian brand Dissh) with a short lapel and a long trail of buttons cascading down the front. A documented fan of statement necklaces, the actor added a gold chain with large charms, which she coordinated with black ballet flats with a gold ankle strap. A longtime Dior ambassador, Lawrence toted the French house's monogram top-handle D-Vibe bowling ball bag. A crewneck T-shirt is the cornerstone of almost any Jennifer Lawrence outfit. But the actor is never one to bore us with her style—every look is elevated in some way, be it with the help of an on-trend scarf, a skant, or a funky layering strategy. While the lion's share of her tees are worn during the daytime, this look is a reminder that they work just as well for night.

WWE star Naomi announces pregnancy, relinquishes women's championship
WWE star Naomi relinquished the Women's World Championship on Monday as she announced she's pregnant with her first child. Naomi won the title when she cashed in her Money in the Bank contract during a match between Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley at Evolution. She then retained the title at SummerSlam, winning a triple-threat match that included Sky and Ripley. Last week, WWE said she wasn't cleared to compete in a title defense against Sky. It sparked speculation that Naomi could have been injured and may have to be out for a while. However, she appeared on the latest episode of "Monday Night Raw" and announced her personal news. She asked fans to view the videoboard. She and her real-life husband Jimmy Uso appeared on "What's Your Story? With Stephanie McMahon" and he announced they were expecting a child. "I'm pregnant and I'm having a baby," Naomi added. Back in the ring, Naomi was a bit emotional as the WWE fans cheered her on. She was a bit reluctant to relinquish the championship she fought so hard to win back. "I ain't handing you s---," she told RAW general manager Adam Pearce. "My hormones are jumping like a disco. This ain't the time nor place so I advise you to get the hell out of my face." Naomi said the women in the WWE locker room should be thanking Uso because without him they wouldn't have stood a chance of taking the title off of her. However, Naomi laid the championship in the middle of the ring and vacated the belt. "On the bright side, I guess the bloodline continues baby!" she added with her patented maniacal laugh. She vowed that she would come back for the title in "nine months and some change." "Even if I gotta come back breastfeeding with my baby in my arms, I'm coming back to pick up where I left off," she said.

Lady Gaga Reaches An Important Milestone For The First Time In Her Career
'Die With a Smile' doesn't sound quite like anything else in the discographies of either Lady Gaga or Bruno Mars. Both artists have looked to the past for inspiration before, but neither of them had encapsulated the exact feeling that the Grammy-winning smash conveys. Mars has come close with several of his vintage-sounding tunes, but the inclusion of a female voice makes 'Die With a Smile' not just different from the two stars' past work, but something truly special. In America, 'Die With a Smile' is still a massive hit, and this week both musicians must be celebrating its continued success as the track reaches a notable milestone. 'Die With a Smile' Finishes Its First Year As of this current period, 'Die With a Smile' has spent a full year on the Hot 100. This week marks its fifty-second on the ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.S. 'Die With a Smile' Slipped Outside the Top 10 Recently The track only recently fell outside of the top 10, where it had been living as it approached its first anniversary. This frame, the duet holds at No. 12, sitting just below the important tier. Lady Gaga's First One-Year Winner 'Die With a Smile' is Gaga's first song to make it to 52 weeks on the Hot 100. The tune became her longest-running success almost a month ago when it passed 'Just Dance,' her collaboration with Colby O'Donis, which introduced her to the world and helped reinvigorate interest in dance-pop well over a decade ago. That smash spent 49 weeks on the Hot 100 during its run. 'Die With a Smile' Remains a Radio Smash Radio is doing most of the work to keep 'Die With a Smile' on the Hot 100 and in such a lofty position. The track does fall slightly on the Radio Songs chart, dipping from No. 3 to No. 5, but that's still an impressive position for a title that has now racked up 52 stays on the all-genre airplay list. 'Die With a Smile' is a non-mover on both the Adult Pop Airplay and Adult Contemporary rankings, where it holds at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. The Gaga/Mars hit single also makes it to 52 weeks on both of those lists. Will 'Die With a Smile' Slip Off the List Soon? Now that 'Die With a Smile' has made it to a full year on the Hot 100, it has to stay above No. 25, or else it will be removed. Billboard has a rule in place that states that after 52 weeks, tunes can't slip beneath that position. That's not a problem for most songs, which never make it to the landmark figure, and 'Die With a Smile' likely doesn't have to worry just yet, as it could continue to sit below the top 10—or even return to the highest area again—for several more weeks.
