[DPops 2015 February] 3. All of the Lights

PROGRAM NOTES "Chris Tokita, having made his way from his humble begin- nings in Eagle Rock, California, finds himself in the spotlight of a new world characterized by tough struggles and disbelief. Unable to tell his tales of hardship at a fabled school, Chris must paint thepicture of these grim times through his lyrics. With his rhythmic words, Chris hopes to persuade his visiting student, Johnny, that the Hogwarts of New Haven is far superior to the muggle school, Qpac. In order to dissuade Johnny from what would most undoubtedly be the mistake of his life, Chris adopts the ever-popular Kanye West song “All of the Lights” as the backdrop for this last chance to save Johnny before he crosses over to the Dark Side.
