Coachella is back and bigger than ever. With new headliners, creative outfits, buzzing socials, and stunning performances, Coachella has once again caught the world's attention.
This April, the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was held from April 10–12 and 17–19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA.
“Coachella 2026 returned to the desert with a lineup and energy that reinforced its status as one of the most influential music festivals in the world,” said an article from Trop News.
In honor of May the Fourth, this review of "Maul: Shadow Lord" digs into the dark world of Darth Maul. Set in 18 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), "Maul: Shadow Lord" focuses solely on Darth Maul, an adept and feared Sith in the Star Wars universe.
Released April 6, "Maul: Shadow Lord" is the first character-based show in animation compared to the other five shows created in live action and based around a villain, Darth Maul, who only shows up a couple of times in the Star Wars franchise. His first appearance came in "The Phantom Menace." While short-lived, he returns to the "Clone Wars" series on and off.
Maul is introduced as a Zabrak from Dathomir and a powerful Sith Lord, having been trained in the ways of the dark side of the Force as Darth Sidious's first apprentice.
Today, 42Fifty has released the inaugural issue of its Literature & Art Magazine, The Muse, celebrating student creative writing and visual arts at OH. Be on the lookout for more issues next school year!
Today, 42Fifty published the first issue of its new literary magazine, The Muse, highlighting OH student artwork and creative writing. In our world of short attention spans, rapid-fire entertainment, and the flood of AI-generated content, it is more important than ever for high school students to slow down and appreciate their peers’ creativity.
“I think with the Fine Arts, it invites you to come and ... slow things down and just ponder… I remember my art teacher in college told me that the average dealer in an art museum sees works only for three seconds. So, I mean, this is a lot about our attention span, and so our art has a way of being meditative and [[taking a]] moment to enjoy how much hard work went into it,” OH Fine Arts Department Chair Michael Skura said.
Now more than ever, emphasizing the value of student art and writing is important.
As summer approaches, it's time to get your summer playlist ready. In this 42Fifty Music Review podcast, listen in for the songs on OH students' summer playlists.
Podcast hosts Jia Nair and Stephanie Mayorga have interviewed several OH students who each told them their favorite song to listen to during the summer and three people said their favorite song was "The Spins" by Mac Miller.
Specifically, OH sophomore Emma Byron said, “My favorite summer song is 'The Spins 'by Mac Miller because it just has the perfect summer vibe and it's an upbeat song.”
