The Academy students are characters from the new Hunger Games film: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and is played by a large ensemble both in the background and some featured, in scenes featuring Coriolanus Snow as he prepares and during the games. The Hunger Games series of films are based off of the original books by Suzanne Collins. This film takes place 64 years before the original Hunger Games we know. In this new film we get to see Coriolanus Snow at 18 years old who is assigned to mentor Lucy of District 12 as the 10th annual Hunger Games approaches.

The students wear bold and red matching uniforms. They feature a red blazer, red pleated skirt, red pants, black dress shoes, a blue collarless shirt, and a matching gold pin to represent The Academy. This would make a great group costume for Hunger Games fans.
