MY ACTIVITIES
I am a sixteen year old male. I am involved in Thespians, Marching Band, Concert Band, and Choir. I play the French Horn, Marching Mellaphone, Clarinet, Contra-Alto Clarinet, and Bass Clarinet. I have just started to learn how to play the keyboard.
I am a Tenor in Choir, and also sing some Bass parts. This year I am also a member of the Varsity Voices which is an elite group of singers at our school.
This past year, I had a role in the play "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." I was one of the brothers and also had a solo in the play. I also appeared in the production of the "Miracle Worker." Loving the theater, I also participate in the technical side of it. Being the Properties Manager and on the Business Crew also keeps me very busy.
HIGH SCOPES
In the spring of 1999, I was nominated by my school to attend this wonderful camp. This camp brings kids from Detroit and kids from the central part of Michigan together for four weeks of learning. Although we are dismissed from our regular classes at school to attend this camp we did lots of learning at this camp. We just learn in a different way. Most of the activities were hands on experinces.
I participated in the drama group where we had to take a play and rewrite it and perform it in a different way then the original author expected it to be performed. In our creative writing group we created a yearbook for everyone to take home. We included information about each camper, their picture, information about what each group did, and most importantly everyone at camp wrote a little essay on what they had learn at camp.
The most important thing most of us learn was how to live in a group setting with so many different people. Each one of us was unique in our own way but we still learned how to work as a group. We participated in sports every day, but the difference in sports at this camp is that all the games are non competitive. I enjoyed my experience at this camp very much and wish I could return this year. Below is a picture of me(I am the one on the right) with my two room mates at High Scopes.
