For the past 36 years, Westminster Christian Academy’s Spirit week has been 5 days of dress ups, intense games, and friendly(ish) competition. One of the biggest highlights of the week is girls Lip Sync, where ladies from grades 7-12 put together an elaborate lip-syncing dance with creative costumes and music to a theme of choice.
Over the years, there have been a plethora of memorable performances. The infamous Greatest Showman dance by the 2018 seniors, the Annie performance by the 2022 sophomores (which would go on to place #1 overall), and last year’s Barbie by the 2024 seniors, to just name a few.
This year’s lip sync line up is riddled with creative themes and loads of talent. From Teen Beach Movie, to Wicked, the 2025 Lip Sync performances should be some of the best.
The Lip Sync themes are as followed:
7th- Teen Beach Movie
8th- Cheer
9th- Princesses
10- Tinkerbell
11- Aladdin
12- Wicked
Lip sync continuously proves to be a highlight of the spirit week and the whole year for the majority of the girls.
“I love lip sync because I enjoy spending time with my favorite people,” says freshman Lainey Kane.
”Practices are definitely a little chaotic, but so much fun. Seeing everyone come together and everyone encouraging each other is awesome. It’s something I really look forward to”.
This is a common response for girls at all grade levels.
”My favorite part about lip sync is being with all the girls in my grade, a lot of them I don’t see usually during school” says sophomore Sophia Bell.
”Practices can feel long sometimes, but we get a lot done thanks to our awesome leaders and I think our dance is overall really clean”.
The upper class responses are very similar.
”Our leaders are really good at teaching us the dance and they do a great job of making sure we know what we are doing” states junior Annie Vonderbrugge.
”Performing on big night is definitely my favorite part because sometimes the practices are overwhelming, but they are really good at the same time”.
This year, all eyes are on the seniors. After falling just a bit short over the past few years, they look to bounce back for one last dance in a wicked way.
“Whenever everyone starts to learn the dance well and starts to come together, it’s just really fun and super exciting,” says senior Kate French.
With enticing themes, costumes, and music, this year’s lip sync line up is definitely one to watch.
