Back at Glen Island The KCA Marching Cobras had a HUGE performance last Wednesday night May 2nd. They performed at the Glenn Island Harbor Club for St. Christopher’s Annual Fundraising Gala. They started the evening out in the grass in front of the Hall to perform while the guests were arriving. There were over 150 guests including more than 30 St. Christopher’s Administrators. Once the guest arrived, the band moved inside to complete their routine.  A wonderful event turned into an excellent event as the Marching Cobras filled the crowd with excitement and energy.  The KCA Cobras were directed by Mr. Young and Ms. Ortiz because the band director, Mr. Stowers, had to attend the event.

The Hallyu Wave                 The Hallyu Wave is fast growing entertainment in the South Korean pop music industry. The invasion first started to branch out in China, Japan and several other Asian countries. But over time it has branched out into various other countries outside of Asia. Some of these countries are the United States, Brazil, England, France, and Australia.                 There have been various concerts and world tours by South Korean idols. These idols include, Bi (Rain), Super Junior, SHINee, MBLAQ, Jay Park and others. Sometimes it’s a group of idols.  SM Entertainment is a good example. Last year they had concerts in LA, NY, and Paris called “SM TOWN LA”, “SM TOWN NY”, and “SM TOWN PARIS”.                 The 3 most well-known companies are YG, SM, and JYP.  While these are the top 3 companies, there are smaller companies such as J. Tune/Camp, TS Entertainment, DSP Media, AQ Entertainment, CAN&J Entertainment, Cube Entertainment, Daebak Entertainment, Jungle Entertainment, and FNC Music. There are a lot more but I can’t go on listing all of them.                 Most K-Pop idols have been inspired by African-American idols in the United States. The main one is none other than the King of Pop – Michael Jackson! Along with him, some K-Pop starts have been influenced by rappers and other R&B artists such as Will.I.Am, Beyoncé, Ne Yo, Chris Brown, Notorious B.I.G and others.                 An upcoming K-Pop event in the United States is the APAHM TOUR sponsored by Verizon Wireless and featuring K-Pop idol, Jay Park!

The Avengers Break Opening Weekend Records The Avengers movie debuted in the U.S. on Friday May 4, 2012. The Marvel superhero movie collected $207.4 million dollars, the biggest three day opening of all time at the domestic box office . The 3D event pic, marking a major victory for Disney and Marvel, easily dethroned Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which opened to $169.2 million last summer, then the largest debut in history. Avengers opened a week earlier overseas, earning a whopping $447.4 million through Sunday for a worldwide total of $654.5 million -- eclipsing the $617.7 million earned by The Hunger Games to become the top title of 2012. So as it turns out, The Avengers shattered the previous record, held by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by more than 35 million dollars.        Avengers -- which assembles Marvel superhero characters Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) -- earned a glowing A+ CinemaScore.
