If this is the case, then please accept the accompanying resume for your review and consideration for the position of Copy Editor in which these strengths will be of value. Catherine Porter, former Copy Editor, encouraged my application for this editing position in the assurance that I had what it takes to hold it. I believe this would be an incredible opportunity for me to gain editing experience in a real world type scenario. As a Hi-lights staff member, I wrote stories, made every deadline, conducted interviews, edited Journalism I stories and was able to help other staff members with their stories. With this background in writing and experience in editing, I am capable of writing my own stories each deadline and editing other staff member’s stories for their improvement. As a team player I will also be able to help any staff member with deadline constraints. I enjoy reading professional publications such as National Geographic to gain inspiration for design and graphic ideas in the Hi-lights newspaper that will catch the reader’s eye and make them want to read the story. In my first year on staff, I was able to learn and adopt quickly to new responsibilities. These abilities plus the skills I acquired as a staffer make me a capable and qualified candidate for Copy Editor. Although the accompanying resumé showcases my abilities and accomplishments, I would love a personal interview to explore this further and I feel it would be the best way to show my capabilities to fill this position. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you at any time of your convenience. Thank you for reviewing my resumé. I look forward to hearing from you. Respectfully, Lindsay Alexander Enclosed: resumé

Personal Essay Journalism is something I can do and feel accomplished-- know that I didn’t take the easy way out. It’s a way for me to get hands on experience and understand what work settings will be like in the real world. I suppose I got started in Journalism through my mom. In high school she was the Editor in Chief of her newspaper, and there’s something inside of me that wants to be just like her. Beginning this year as a newspaper staffer who had no Journalism experience was a challenge. I had to learn everything from design rules to writing styles; the latter involved numerous rewrites. To succeed in this class I had to be focused and never give up.

Imodel have airplanes built eight with my dad.

Self-analytical evaluation This year, taking this class, I feel like I have really learned something. There’s a quote I like from Pablo Picasso that says, “I am constantly doing what I don’t know how to do, so that I may learn how to do it.” This quote is the epitome of my year in newspaper. I decided to do something I knew I wanted, but I had no idea how to do it. This year, I learned how to use InDesign and how to write an effective news story. I think this especially shows in my Nuclear Power Pro. Also, I learned that making deadline greatly simplifies your life. Next year I can apply these skills by advancing my knowledge in the areas of page design and writing. I hope to create interesting spreads and explore different and more creative angles.

One day I will drive this car.

RefLection one My pro on nuclear power is definitely my most significant piece this year. In this piece I feel I did what an editorial is supposed to do. I briefly mentioned the views of the opposing side and then hit the reader with every reason why their views were wrong. While there is a wealth of information about nuclear power, it made it difficult to choose what to mention. I focused on concerns for the public and the environment and backed my arguments with solid facts. I loved the way my story read, and I thought it had a very logical flow. My purpose was to inform the reader of why nuclear power is a safe energy source, and I think I accomplished it. This was not very hard to do, but it took about 4 hours of writing and researching to get the end product. From start to finish it shrunk in size and I added a paragraph on storing nuclear wastes safely. I think this was a good decision because it is a topic people often have concerns about and it deserved a place in my article. As I went along, I discovered that quality was worth more than quantity, especially with the small space of 400 words that I had to work with. I am especially proud of how my story reads. I think it reads like a court case. It defends the subject well and covers the points in a logical order.

Sperrys are my favorite shoes to wear.

Looking back, my worst story is my first story. It was a sports story about bowling. I tried my best but nothing beats experience. The story listed names a lot and it read like a laundry list in some parts. The quotes were lacking, my transitions were not smooth and it did not follow the inverted pyramid model. Even with the work the story still needs, it evolved incredibly from start to finish. At the start I was quoting facts, I was adding fluff and making things sound pretty. Reading my first conclusion makes me want to gag. I learned the basics as I went along. I learned about widows, quotes, short paragraphs, and other underlying things in newspaper writing. By the end, my story had at least the basic elements of a news story such as those listed above. If I had more time I would have gone back and interviewed people again to get better quotes and make my angle clearer. My angle was that bowling is a sport but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really incorporate it very well into the story except in the introduction and conclusion. Overall, I feel I did the best I could considering it was my first.

Bowlers strike up season TEAMS STAY POSITIVE DESPITE DIFFICULTY

READY, BOWL. In the game against University on Sept. 18, senior Andrew Conley bowls. “[I joined] for fun, I wanted to do something to have fun for senior year. Coach Roberson is really cool, and we just have fun; it’s not too intense,” Conley said. Conley averages 150 points per game.

By LINDSAY ALEXANDER In bowling, there is no sprinting, no rowing and no strength training. However, bowling takes something more than athleticism; it takes skill. Boys bowling is currently 3-5. They have losses against rivals Timber Creek(2232-2673), University (23062647), East River (2530-1858), Colonial (2274-2834) and Freedom (2348-2734) and wins against Oak Ridge, Lake Highland and Edgewater. As seniors with experience Kyle Blow, Justin Kane and Nicholas Glover are held to a higher standard. Glover is returning for his fourth year and is a leader on the team. In the first match against Timber Creek, Glover bowled a 625 series, averaging 207 pins a game. In the team’s match against Colonial, Glover kept his competitive edge and bowled a 600 series, which he aims to do every game. “Bowling against East River was really fun. We didn’t let our bowling [score] get to us,” Glover said. Leadership doesn’t always come with seniority. Other players with potential include junior Nicholas Konowall who has an average of 152 pins per game. Freshmen Paul Perrault who has bowled

competitively for four years, has an average of 126 pins per game. “You have to have perfect form. It’s not easy,” Perrault said. Despite their losses, they do have frequent strikes and spares. Matthew Kaiser, sophomore, is working to bowl a 200 every game. “One word to describe our season would be challenging because it’s had its ups and downs,” Glover said. The girl’s team is currently 4-4, making five-hundred. In the first match of the season, the team beat Timber Creek for the first time and by 35 pins. The team is strong with five returning seniors who have all played at least three years: Chloe Allen, Morgan Ascher, Taylor Dudley, Kristen Parker and Cara Shenk. These girls are the key players in their games. The girls thought they were going to pull through with a win in their match against Colonial, but lost by 82 pins. First year head coach Daniel Tringali hoped to beat the team’s record of three wins last year and succeeded. He wants to improve on the team’s fundamentals such as making more spares. “I just really enjoy helping the girls find success when they have struggled

in the past with certain shots. I want the girls to make technical adjustments without my help,” Tringali said. The girls beat Oak Ridge, 1863-1584. This was a turning point for the team. “After we won, it was like let’s try to keep winning instead of losing; it was a boost for the team,” Ascher said. According to Ascher, a weakness is attitude. When the team is upset they bowl poorly, but they stay positive and cheer when someone gets a strike. Despite ups and downs, Tringali says they are improving. The team’s leader is Ascher, whose best series is a 424 which she bowled in the match against Oak Ridge. Her goal is to bowl a 200 game average her current highest is a 162. “[There’s that moment when] as soon as the ball comes off your hand, it just feels right,” Ascher said. Both teams have the chance to play rival Timber Creek again on Oct. 13. At this game the boys team will have a chance to redeem themselves and the girls will have the chance to beat their rival Timber Creek again. In bowling, there are no touchdowns and no goals, just strikes, spares and a desire to win.

I am especially proud of this picture because I think it is appealing to the eye. I took it for my portfolio. It displays the rule of thirds with the subject, the mail truck, taking up the majority of the left third and the grass and sidewalk filling the other two thirds. Also, the sidewalk and street serve as leading lines and also create a depth of field as they disappear behind the cluster of tree branches on the far right. Portfolio, page 23

I was an asset to the staff this year because I did as I was told. I was almost always on deadline and I felt I tried to make every story the best it could be. By being on deadline, it also allowed me to help others with their work, such as doing an interview for someone who did not have time to do it. I was committed because I met deadlines and helped others with small tasks, but I was not overly committed. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay any longer than I needed to at work days and rarely asked others if I could do anything to help them. I think this was really for the best because coming in and not knowing anything, I needed to solely focus on my story so that I could make it the best it could be.

One could say that I have faced many challenges this year. Lacrosse and Newspaper being the biggest. With both of these I faced a tremendous learning curve. Academics have always come easier to me than for most, and in everything I do I approach it very logically. Whenever I had a question about Lacrosse or Newspaper I would think, there must be a book about this somewhere! However, with both Lacrosse and Newspaper you cannot learn by reading, you must learn by doing. In Lacrosse I participated in Fall Ball in the Autumn and was surrounded by a group of girls who knew a lot more about Lacrosse than I did. Coming in with only one year of experience on Junior Varsity was difficult. Many girls were working on harder concepts while I was still focusing on catching. In Newspaper in the Fall I tried the best I could to balance it with academics and Lacrosse. When you know nothing you have to devote a lot more time to writing a story than the average staffer. My countless rewrites of the first semester, while beneficial, were incredibly time consuming and it was hard to balance my time. In the second semester Newspaper became slightly easier. I was starting to get the gist of some things, but I still hit several bumps in the road. In my Carnegie Hall story I thought I was cruising until I got to my copy edit back and received a 68 percent. That was disappointing. While the time I spent devoted to Newspaper began to ease up, the time I devoted to Lacrosse skyrocketed. Somehow, although my passing and catching were still very elementary and under-developed, I made Varsity. I was thrilled, really, but for the third time in four years the team got a new coach. Coach Lane is fresh out of Western New England College where she played Lacrosse. Her coaching techniques are effective and we had a very successful season considering we only had three seniors, but she wanted us to eat, sleep, and breathe Lacrosse. My life became consumed by daily two hour practices, two games a week that I often got home late from, a weekly mandatory pasta dinner for “team bonding” and lots of physical and emotional stress. When everything is calculated I devoted 20 hours a week to Lacrosse, the equivalent of a part-time job. As the season progressed I became more and more disappointed with myself. I didn’t understand why she had put me on Varsity in the first place. I learned so much from both Lacrosse and Newspaper. In Newspaper I feel as though I’ve learned an art and it was worth it, no matter how time consuming it was. In Lacrosse I feel I’ve learned to prioritize, and keep things in perspective. In the grand scheme of things, Lacrosse is not the end all do all, and even if I dropped every pass thrown, ten years from now, no one will care. If I was faced with these challenges again there isn’t much I would do differently. My work ethic was immense in both Lacrosse and Newspaper, and I truly tried as hard as I could to excel at both of them. However, when I look back on my year in Newspaper I wish I hadn’t been so reserved. Knowing people better on staff would have made the year more fun. When I look back on Lacrosse I wish I wouldn’t have taken it so seriously, if I had just looked at it as a learning experience instead of the hardest thing I’d ever done, I would have saved myself a lot of tears and probably learned more. Overall, I handled these situations the best I could and if I am confronted with similar problems in the future, hopefully I can apply the things I said I would change to make them more enjoyable.

At the midterm I said one of my goals was photography and using Photoshop, which is part of the reason I decided to have a photo as my background on every page in my portfolio. I wanted to learn how to make a drop shadow and how to cob. I have learned both of these making my portfolio this year. While Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still not sure what qualifies as good resolution and when certain settings on the camera should be used, I continue to learn about them through my portfolio. My other two goals were learning quick keys and understanding editorializing. I have become better acquainted with this semester, learning quick keys from my handbook and editorializing through asking questions.

The new sound of music

Tyit all TOGETHER Brendan Hall Business Manager

A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO FINDING GOOD MUSIC

eople often say that they can figure out other people purely by the firmness of a handshake or by examining their body language. Truthfully, all it takes is a quick glance at their iPod. The music people listen to tells so much about them: hidden interests, quirks, their sense of humor; it gives an introspective look into their unbiased personalities. Music is an outlet through which people find comfort and happiness, void of any outside influences. The problem, though, is that fewer and fewer people are listening to good music nowadays. The Pop Crusade has effectively marched across America, converting radio stations and teenagers everywhere to conform to the Gospel of Biebz and the Apostle Britney of Spears. But the reign of pop ends here as the Underground shall rise up and reclaim its rightful place in the musical hierarchy. Here are a few way-under-the-radar bands with an infectious sound, as well as ways to discover other bands like them. Given the chance, these artists could open a generation of kids up to an entirely new realm of fantastic music. Two Door Cinema Club is an indie rock band from Northern Ireland that has the potential to inspire a whole new genre of indie. Their fast-paced guitar hooks and catchy leads, combined with lead singer Alex Trimble’s soft, pure voice, generate a sound that appeals to everyone. Two Door Cinema Club is indie, but their music is so infectious that they could easily break into the mainstream and force a dynamic shift in the music people listen to everyday. A great way to find bands with a similar sound is the website last.fm. On the homepage is a search bar where users

can look up any artists they like and it will take you to that band’s profile page. On the profile last.fm have a radio button that allows a person to listen to similar bands. For instance, a person would search “Death Cab For Cutie” and click the “Death Cab For Cutie Radio” button on the band’s profile page. The website will also keep a history of songs and artists that users have listened to in case they want to go back and search for more songs by that band. Another lesser known band that fuses pop, electric and alternative is a group out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, called All The Right Moves. Drawing comparisons to bands such as The Maine and All Time Low, this band stands out above the rest and is making a name in the pop-punk genre. It is difficult for bands to make a name for themselves in the punk scene because so many bands sound the same, but All The Right Moves takes catchy to an entirely new level. Even better, one of the members rocks out the violin, the highlight of the band. Their most recent EP is called The Monster I’ve Become, but their true genius lies in their original self-titled disc, specifically their song “Dancer.” Because All The Right Moves is such a small band, a website like last.fm doesn’t have an extensive profile on them. In cases like this, another extremely helpful outlet to find new bands is right under people’s noses, they just don’t know it: iTunes. Whenever someone searches for a band on iTunes, it also provides a list of other artists in the area “Listeners Also Bought.” This feature creates an extensive network of bands and artists that can keep any music-lover occupied for hours. The final recommended band is actually a side project of two other artists: Rostam Batmanglij, the keyboardist from

Vampire Weekend, and Wes Miles, the vocalist from Ra Ra Riot. Known as Discovery, they are a fusion of indie, folk and electronic, but are most commonly labeled as electronic. Their debut album LP is ingenious and their sound is a wonderful blend of islander and funk, as the greatest qualities of both their original bands are accentuated and beautifully fused. Similar artists include Passion Pit and MGMT. Discovery has only one record out though, so people should look for similar bands. Pandora, a website and an iPhone application, is an effective and convenient way to find other bands that have a similar sound. All a person has to do is type in an artist’s name and Pandora will generate a radio station that plays similar songs, much like last.fm. However, if the person doesn’t like the band being played, Pandora has the option to dislike the song. Pandora is a great tool to use while sitting at home and doing homework as it saves the songs a person has previously listened to. This is not to tell readers to listen to these bands only, it is meant to be a jumping-off point from which people can begin to broaden their musical horizon. If anything, just go to one of the websites mentioned, type in a band name and explore. The world of music is limitless, and each new band could be someone’s next favorite.

Movie providers compete for sales RIVALS NETFLIX AND REDBOX SHOW STRONGEST APPEAL By LINDSAY ALEXANDER Every Blockbuster in the area has a closing sale banner on its windows. The company filed for bankruptcy in December 2010, wiping out their debt, but launching them into a large reorganizing process. Blockbuster’s collapse has left a rental dilemma for movie watchers who are searching for new alternatives. The two primary options are the tech-savvy Netflix and convenient Redbox. Netflix is a digital movie rental service that allows customers to rent movies and television episodes by streaming them through Internet-connected Blu-Ray players, Internetconnected HDTVs, Apple and Google televisions, Internetconnected gaming systems (Wii, PS3, Xbox 360), computers, iPhones, iPads or Windows phones (with the free Netflix application). For $7.99 a month, one can instantly watch unlimited movies and television episodes. For an additional $2 a month, one can receive unlimited DVDs by mail; however, only one item is sent at a time. Netflix offers a one month free trial and no cancellation fees as well. Netflix also presents the option of Starz Play for $6.99 a month, which limits movie selection to

mainly movies that are new to watch instantly and television episodes, and cuts the option of ordering through the mail. There are no due dates or late fees, and no advertisements. “It’s a lot easier to use; it’s more convenient. I didn’t always have time to go get movies. With Netflix it just comes to you,” sophomore John Childers said. Redbox is a system of movie check out kiosks located at grocery stores, drugstores and convenience stores nationwide. Redbox has 26,000 locations, each holding 500 disks. There are 50-60 titles in a machine at one time. Each movie is paid by credit card at $1 per night, $1.50 per night for every Blu-Ray Disc and $2 per night for video games. Rentals can be returned to any Redbox location and movies can also be reserved at a local Redbox, online or through the free Redbox application on a smart phone. “Redbox is better because it’s cheaper and you can get a movie whenever you want, you don’t have to wait for it to be delivered,” sophomore Monica Joyce said. Both systems of movie rentals boast convenience, but each has drawbacks. With both services one cannot rent movies from certain movie companies, such as Fox and Universal, until

Netflix because you can have the movies longer and they have a better selection.

Your Thoughts Which do you prefer, Netflix or Redbox?

I love Redbox because it gives you a variety of new movies and it’s just a dollar.

28 days after the DVD is released. For example, The Switch and Tangled are still not available through Redbox. Although Netflix offers the ability to instantly watch unlimited movies this does not mean they have every movie available for instant streaming. If one wanted a movie not in Netflix’s instant library they would have to rent it through snail mail. However, 97 percent of movies arrive within one business day. Classics like Gone with the Wind must be ordered through the mail and even newer releases such as Easy A and Clash of the Titans must be ordered through the mail as well. In contrast, Redbox has both Easy A and Clash of the Titans available. Even though Redbox may have some movies Netflix streaming does not, it still only holds about 60 movies so chances are if a customer wanted a film that came out over a year ago, it will not be there. With these two services it should not be hard for a possible customer to find the perfect fit. If a customer rents more than seven movies a month and wants access to movies that are not limited to primarily New Releases, then Netflix is a good investment. Where as, the less avid movie watcher will reap the benefits of Redbox’s cheap, no-contract way of movie rental.

Redbox because you can get movies for a dollar a night and it’s convenient. - kendall caldwell, freshman

It reviews two separate home movie rental services and does a good job of comparing and contrasting the two, giving the reader information to decide which would be best for their needs.

which costs approximately $7,000. When one has an interest in cars, future careers range from army mechanic to engineer. When it comes to Hayes’ future, Nemiro sees him working in corporate sales because he is always coming up with new ways to make money and trying to sell people on ideas. However, Hayes aspires to have his own automotive shop where he will do custom restorations. To make this dream a reality, Hayes plans to go to college and see what happens after obtaining a degree, possibly in business. In the less-distant future Hayes hopes to get a 1940’s vehicle and turn it into a rat-rod. A rat-rod is an old, ratty car that one restores to look new. “Cars are a piece of history, people don’t realize how powerful a car is,” Hayes said. Hayes’ mother, Suzanne Washburn, says Hayes is always busy, but she loves that he has a passion. “When you have a real interest, a passion, your whole life is going to be fuller. He’s investigated [his interests] instead of just thinking about them,” Washburn said.

Awaiting the man in the red suit By LINDSAY ALEXANDER Santa Claus has always been a part, though a myth, of Christmas traditions. Although a myth, children all around the world believe in Santa Claus. Cherry B. Spielman has her Masters of Science and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Spielman works with families and children and specializes in psychological testing services. Counseling families and children and being a mother of three (who attend Boone) gives her plenty of experience with kids and what they believe. Spielman says from strictly a psychological standpoint

luiz andrade, freshman I was 11 and we were having a party at a friend’s house. The parents made us go on a scavenger hunt to find Santa and we found him back at our friend’s house. Next Christmas, we were looking through pictures and we passed over “Santa” changing, [at the party the previous year]. It made me laugh like crazy.

hilights.org

you would never tell children that Santa exists because it is not true, but believing in Santa is just fun. “I would not directly tell a lie to a child because it’s a trust issue. Society and media might lead children to believe [in Santa], and if it does, you do not need to discredit it until the children ask,” Spielman said. Trusting one’s parents only to find out that Santa Claus is fake has the potential to create major trust issues. However, Spielman says the belief in Santa Claus still has positive qualities and beneficial aspects. “Almost everything associated with Santa Claus is positive

lori iacone, junior I pretended to go to bed and then I covered my sleeping bag in wrapping paper and hid under the tree. I fell asleep, and when I woke up my mom had presents and my dad was eating Santa’s cookies. After they left, I went back to bed and didn’t tell them I knew. That year it ruined Christmas for me, but the next year I found out I could get extra presents from “Santa,” because my parents thought I still believed.

and good. It’s about giving. I believe that while a child believes in Santa Claus, it does make Christmas much more exciting,” Spielman said. Like Spielman, Dr. Phil also thinks the belief in Santa Claus does not do much harm. “Is there anything negative . . . to have a concrete figure who represents love, and caring and giving?” Dr. Phil said. However, select religious groups and individuals believe Santa Claus is pagan or unnecessary. For those anxiously awaiting the man in the red suit, it is a part of childhood and the mystery of the Christmas season.

cristian torres, senior Around Christmas time when I was 10, my parents told me not to go into the garage, but I did. I saw a foosball table unwrapped. Then on Christmas morning, the tag said it was from Santa, but I knew it wasn’t. It didn’t ruin Christmas for me; it’s still the best day of the year.

Team has heart, experience NEW COACH BRINGS 24 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE By LINDSAY ALEXANDER Orange blazers are seen throughout the halls on game day. It is a tradition that continues this year the boys varsity basketball team begins a new season with a new coach. While coach Gregory Shirley is new to campus he is not new to coaching. Shirley has been coaching high school basketball for 24 years, and this is his seventh year as a head coach. Shirley is coming from Ocoee High School where he coached for two years but then stepped down for family reasons. Shirley missed coaching and was excited when he heard Boone had an opening. “Boone High School has a great basketball tradition, and I want this team to write their own chapter in the history of Boone basketball,” Shirley said. Shirley is working with a team of young men he has never coached before but he says it is not a weakness. “It’s a learning process. The key is for the team to continue to improve on a daily basis. We are learning to work together and trust each other . . . but it will not happen over night,” Shirley said. The team had their first win against Colonial on Dec. 9. The game was close

until the end of the second quarter, but after half time the team came back with a new determination, and won 54-40. Their second win was on Dec. 10 against Ocoee, 68-62. Shirley sees all his seniors as leaders on the team. Half the team are seniors but only two of them, guards Brody Dawkins and Joseph Martinson, are returning players. Shirley says currently the most vocal leader, living up to his seniority, is Dawkins. “Our team has a very experienced presence. We know that we don’t have to panic a lot in games; we stay in control,” Dawkins said. The team also has an able group of sophomores including Samuel Doster and 6’9” Robert Rimmer, who is also a returning player. There is no question why the team unanimously chooses Rimmer as their star player. Rimmer averages 7.5 rebounds per game and 10 points per game. “Rimmer has a presence on both sides of the court,” Dawkins said. The team’s first game was Nov. 30, against state runner up Dr. Phillips. Dr. Phillips is a growing rival and sophomore Dominique Wilson scored 20 points. However, they lost 33-64. “[The game] was disappointing

because we knew we could play better than we did, ” Doster said. Senior Wesley Caplan says the team is disciplined and has good teamwork, though on Dec. 1, the team lost a heart breaker to Bishop Moore. With 10 seconds left on the clock the score was 46-49 and victory was still with in reach. Then Ocoee came back with a three pointer and one more shot, ending the game 49-54. “We made a lot of mistakes. We weren’t communicating as a team. Hopefully, we will never lose to Bishop Moore again,” Caplan said. The team also lost to Wekiva and Olympia on Dec. 3 and Dec. 7. The final scores were 36-68 and 62-23, respectively. Later this season the team plays rival and defending state champions, the Winter Park Wildcats, Jan. 25. The Wildcats have the top player in the state, Austin Rivers on their team but the team can compete with them. With a new coach and the majority of the team being seniors, spirit should be at an all time high. “We have a lot of heart. We’re not going to lay down for anyone. It doesn’t matter what the score is. We’re still going to play hard,” Dawkins said.

By LINDSAY ALEXANDER Carnegie Hall with its Victorian exterior and interior (including a five tiered balcony, red velvet seats, top of the line acoustics and famous crystal chandelier) is one of the most prestigious concert halls in the entire world. Carnegie is located in the heart of Midtown in New York City, and since it opened in 1891, it has seen some of the world’s greatest musicians. The hall has missed no genre, showcasing everything from the Rolling Stones to the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and this March the Sound of the Braves’ Wind Symphony will take the stage. “This is a fantastic opportunity for the students to travel to New York and perform in one of the finest concert halls in the world. The experience of performing in the legendary hall will have a lasting impact on each of their lives,” Michael Butler, band director, said. Wind Symphony is the highest of all the wind and percussion classes. To qualify, one must know all 12 majors, be able to sight read a piece of music and play a prepared piece. After accomplishing these tasks the band directors, Michael Butler and Jose Eslava make final cuts. The Wind Symphony was one of six selected last spring from high school bands across the country to perform at

Carnegie Hall on March 8 as part of the New York Wind Band Festival. This is the first time they have been chosen to perform there. They were selected based on a tape audition sent in last spring. To prepare, they practice every Wednesday after school as a group for two hours and are also responsible for practicing individually. The trip costs $1,300 per person, and to raise money, the Wind Symphony held car washes and sold cookie dough, poinsettias and citrus. They are playing a selection of music ranging from Richard Saucedo’s “Windsprints” to Eric Whitacre’s “Sleep”. Their entire performance is 20 minutes and their audience will range from professional groups to other high school bands to New York locals. “It’s a big city plus music, my two greatest passions. I’m going to be in the best city in the world with my favorite people in the world,” sophomore percussion player Katy Smith said. Junior flute player Kelly Sizemore says music is everything, and she is most looking forward to the actual performance at Carnegie Hall. “I’m every emotion. I’m nervous. I’m excited. We’re playing in the most prestigious hall; every emotion has gone through my head,” Sizemore said.

When entering junior or senior year, one may feel the stress of college readiness exams approaching. Preparing for the Scholastic Assessment Test or American College Test in the summer is a beneficial option to reduce pressure. As a junior, Julianne Huhn attended both Owl Tutoring, located in Winter Park, for the SAT and C2, located near Dr. Phillips, for the ACT. “[The classes] were worth it; I would recommend them both to others,” Huhn, senior, said. “C2 is more expensive, but they prepare you the most, especially with the set up of the test.” Huhn saw her score increase 50 points on the SAT and one point on the ACT. As colleges become more competitive, high standardized test scores become increasingly important.

An ideal way to take summer classes is Florida Virtual School. With a relaxed schedule and no enrollment deadlines, students can begin and complete classes at their own pace. “[A benefit of FLVS is] you can manage your time more wisely; you don’t have to follow a strict schedule like regular school,” sophomore Shutong Zhang said. FLVS offers a way to fill a hole in a schedule, receive grade forgiveness or to get ahead. FLVS is a fully accredited high school and is free for Florida residents. It offers regular, honors and advanced placement courses, and each student is assigned a teacher who can be contacted through phone and e-mail. A half semester class on a standard schedule, roughly three to five hours a week of class, can be finished in 16 to 18 weeks. This is the same amount of time it takes to finish a course taken in a regular classroom setting. However, a course can be finished faster if the student chooses to do so. “[Virtual school] may be even easier [than a regular class] because you can go ahead and go on to the next assignments,” Guidance Counselor James Caperton said. A class commonly taken over the summer is economics. To graduate, seniors must take a half credit of both United States government and economics. Seniors can choose to

May 13, 2011

take United States government and economics for one semester each, or take Advanced Placement United States government for a year and one semester of economics. For this reason, seniors see Economics as a good course to take online and a way to pursue late arrival or early release options. “I took economics [online] because I wanted to get ahead, and I didn’t want to worry about it during school,” senior David Ballard said. A student taking a course through FLVS needs to be self-motivated to see good results because completing work lies largely on the student’s shoulders and there is less teacher produced pressure on them to complete it. According to Caperton, the class of 2014 will be required to take an online class to help prepare them for any online courses they may take in college. Zhang has taken four classes through FLVS and plans to take more. Zhang has taken Chinese II, Drivers Education and Spanish I and II. “[I would recommend it to other people] especially if they want to get a head start or if they’re the type of person who likes to work by themselves,” Zhang said. FLVS is an opportunity to make room for more classes, to have less of a work load next year, or even to graduate early. FLVS is a constructive way to spend one’s summer.
