The Memorial Markettes are performing their annual spring show, "Movie Marathon," on April 26-27.

While school activities are winding down and the academic year is ending, the Memorial Markettes are busy preparing for their annual spring show. This year, the theme is Movie Marathon and the dances are choreographed to the tunes of famous movies such as: The Greatest Showman, Descendants and Pirates of the Caribbean. The evening will be filled with lots of fun, high-energy dances showcasing the amazing Markettes as well as guest appearances by various other high school students and outside entertainment.
