“Once upon a time at the GymGer”: The enjoyable cultural evening of Q12 at Geretsried High School brings plenty of money into the Abi coffers thanks to a packed house.
Geretsried – The high school auditorium is never as full as it is at the traditional Q12 cultural evening.
If you were lucky, you found a place to stand on Friday from which you could see the stage.
Only those who arrived an hour before the start had a chance of getting a seat.
But most visitors preferred to stand together in the Baumeister foyer with pizza wedges, pretzel sticks, muffins and champagne.
And that was good for the organizers, who need the food and drink sales to finance their prom in the summer in the Loisachhalle.
The more money they have through income and donations, the cheaper the tickets become.
This makes a difference for those high school graduates who want to celebrate with parents, grandparents, siblings and friends.
Graduation 2024: Preview of looking back over a few beers in 20 years
The vintage seems to like to celebrate.
The stage had been transformed into a pub with a bar and bar tables.
The prospective Q12 high school graduates met there for a few beers to reminisce.
True to the motto of the evening, “Once upon a time at the GymGer,” they looked back on their time in high school as forty-year-olds.
“Do you remember when you played the drums on the school trip to Copenhagen?
“Did you actually become a drummer?” one asks the person sitting next to him.
“No, alcoholic,” he replies and the audience laughs.

However, the cultural evening was by no means on a shallow level.
Lars Keibel and Marko Müller led the program through the program in a charming and funny way.
The band, consisting of Alexandra, Charly, Elias, Frieda, Janina, Leni, Lennard, Maria and Nico, covered songs like “Story of my Life”, “California Dreaming” and “Livin' on a Prayer” first-class.
The girls put on a dance show in pink Barbie clothes, as a particularly fashion-savvy high school graduate had ended up as editor-in-chief of “Vogue” magazine.
The boys impressed with the “men’s dance” – already a tradition – and a mixed group with a “ballet lesson”.

Nowadays, the Instagram generation films quite professionally with their cell phones, puts scenes and people in the spotlight, quickly cuts the whole thing together and accompanies it with appropriate music.
This meant that the videos from the study trips, shown on two large screens, were also fun for outsiders.
The audience saw images from Weimar, Copenhagen, Prague and Venice.
A nice idea was the interview with kindergarten children, also in the form of a video.
A little girl commented on a photo of acting headmistress Sabine Apprecht that she looked more like a princess than a witch and her age was estimated at 24 years.
Other timpanists did less well in the survey.
The students also relentlessly parodied their teachers in the two live theater pieces about the “teacher shared apartment”.

Cultural evening is primarily made by high school students for high school students
The cultural evening is of course primarily made by high school students for high school students, a personal “best of” of the past two years with lots of inside jokes that the teachers may still understand, but the parents probably no longer understand.
As a result, the evening, including a long break for those not in the know, dragged on a bit.
But the work, creativity and performances definitely deserved the long final applause.
