Color blast is an annual event hosted by Chelsea High School early in the school year, drawing in students from all grades to gather together in the student parking lot and launch packets of colorful powder in the air. Although some might say it can be overwhelming if you get stuck in the middle, once you take a step back you can see how extraordinary the experience truly is.
