It’s got everything.
Parkour.
Elaborate hand-drawn escape maps.
Sarah Wright dodging invisible lasers and “swimming” from wall to wall while sliding down the hallways of Coupeville High School.
A single piece of confetti, a used-up co2 cartridge, and “a very, very good painting” that no one wants.
A slow speed car chase with one of the “cops” playing a trombone.
Harris Sinclair watching bear videos in the getaway car.
Plus, Chris Battaglia rocking a fur coat and long hair, Madison Rixe screaming “I’m not going back to jail” and Coupeville Schools Superintendent Steve King talking about how he no longer twerks.
Put it all together, with a lot more cameos, a few surprises, and Ryan Labrador being repeatedly hit by flying objects, and you have the latest link in a long-running CHS tradition.
It’s known as the “torch video,” and every year the graduating class produces one as they attempt to pass the torch to the incoming seniors.
This year’s version, crafted by the Class of 2019, is known as “Ocean’s 19,” and it’s a piece of prime-time crime-time.
