Our annual roundup of high school grads who are heading out into the world to pursue their passion in the arts JACOB PATROSH, 18 Graduated 2019, George McDougall High School TALENT: Musical performance on the euphonium and trumpet ROLE MODELS: My creative/ artistic role models are my family. I grew up in a musical family and was brought up surrounded by music on a daily basis. AHA MOMENT: Watching my brothers perform in Stetsons and the Calgary Stampede band, and watching my older sister’s recitals. WHAT’S NEXT: I’ve been accepted to the University of Lethbridge starting this September for a bachelor of music and education. DREAM FOR THE FUTURE: My dream is to perform as a part of a Disney flash mob at the Disneyland/Disney World parks and open up a music studio where I teach intermediate brass musicians who want to take their musicality to the next level.
Ones to Watch 2019 JAROMIE A. CHAPIEL, 17 Graduated 2019, Bert Church High School TALENT: Cinematography and photography ROLE MODELS: I have always looked up to Roman Atwood, a YouTube star who lives a family-friendly exciting life, and this inspired me to pursue the happy exciting life I’ve always wanted. And Peter McKinnon was the YouTube sensation who heavily inspired my interest in photography. AHA MOMENT: My “aha moment” was two years ago in 10th grade when I was assigned the task of making a video for science class. Despite the video taking weeks to film and over 20 hours to edit and having it turn out horrible, I had fallen in love with film and soon started taking Audio Video classes within my school. Within a year and a half, I had completed all three years’ worth of video courses and began taking photography classes. WHAT’S NEXT: The next step for me is to take a gap year and save up as much money as I can so I can move to Vancouver and attend either LaSalle College for film or Vancouver Film School. DREAM FOR THE FUTURE: My dream is to live an exciting life and adventure the world while bringing ideas to life through film. I want to one day have created my very own movie. FA L L 2019
