Wantagh High School hosted their annual Sportsnite, which featured the Gold team and the Black team. As usual, there were a series of events such as Sports, Spirit, and, of course, dances were presented.
The themes this year included Gold Team Through the Galaxy and Black Team Under the Sea. Each team showed off their dances, which included Rhythmic and Exercise, 9/10 Grade Dance, 11/12 Grade Dance, Folk, and last, but certainly not least, the Finale, which brought it all together for each team and made their themes really come to life.
