It's a great day to be a Lakewood Tiger!
Today, at 4:30 AM local time (Mountain Standard Time) Katy Perry performed a private concert for the student body at Lakewood High School, a high school outside of Denver, Colorado
Lakewood High won the Good Morning America "Roar" with Katy Perry Contest.
Katy Perry chose Lakewood High's video for it's school spirit and pride. Amazingly, over 2,000 students and staff came together to perform in the video. Everyone was outfitted in black and orange (their school colors) and lip dubbed the song. The video starts with the school mascot (perfectly fitting- a tiger) and walks through students lining the school from all areas of school life, including the lacrosse team, tennis, golf, boys swim team, the football team, cheer and poms, yearbook club, band, drama club, etc.
Make sure you take the time and watch the full video!!!!
It is worth it!
It is worth it!
(Isn't it cool?)
I was so excited to hear that Lakewood won the concert. Their video is amazing.
But so are their students! I have had the opportunity to meet a handful of students at Lakewood. A couple months back, I went in to talk to the yearbook class about story line, word choice, and editing. I had a wonderful time. And thank goodness for the great students or I might have gotten lost in the huge school. (As you can see from the video the school is very big!)
Congrats to Lakewood!!!!
Hopefully you will get the change to check out the concert live on Good Morning America

Wow, that's so cool! Congrats to Lakewood!! But... why 4:30am??
It was crazy early because of the typing schedule for Good Morning America which is on the east coast a few hours ahead of us here in Colorado. Crazy, crazy.
Congratulations to the students and school! Hope the kids were awake for her concert.
I hear it was great and they were all lively. Although I'm sure they are sleeping through their classes this morning! :)
Yay for Lakewood! It's a great video.
It must be thrilling for the kids at the school, and it showed them hard work pays off. It sure was a brilliant marketing idea from Katy Perry. That girl's no dummy. Fun post! :-)
So well done!! School spirit to the max! I loved the swim team and the tubas!
You mean sitting through a Katy Perry concert is considered a "prize"?
Wow congrats to them! And I definitely see why they won. The spirit really came through in the video. They did a great job. :-)
Very cool, I always like to see artists sharing their gift with kids:) They'll probably all go download her songs afrerwards too;)
So glad you posted this. I really wanted to see the winning video! Love how they seemed to include almost everyone in the school. Very cool!
Sounds very exciting! They should have just given them the day off to sleep as an extra reward too. :)
Thanks so much for posting this, Rebecca. Many congratulations to Lakewood High School.

Wow! Everyone got involved in this video. It's superb! And what a beautiful day to have it. Thanks again, Rebecca for sharing it. I'll stop by your blog again.
Super cool! Wow, the amount of coordination that had to go into that... That is one unified school. They had to have been filming that on a rolling boom stand, right? Yikes.
Wow! That's so cool!
That is just awesome!
