Brace Yourself team members are seniors Alyson Owen, Kaylin Cook, Rachel Mazzio, Ryan Junod, Elizabeth Carlisle, and junior Mariah Richardson.

When the rovin' roustabout, Chad, rolls into a small midwestern town, people begin to fall in and out of love all in one zany night that will change the town forever! All Shook Up is a rocking, heartwarming tale about following dreams, opening up to love, and the power of music!
