Filled with visions of fame and fortune, performing arts students work at CREATING A SCENE “I always dreamed of singing in front of people. I enjoy making them feel the emotions I’m sing- ing,” commented Carla Thelen. “I want to replace Joan Rivers and have my own comedy hour,” said future come- dienne Cyndi Parsons. From singers and musi- cians to actors and dancers, dreams of the future were motiva- tion for a lot of hard work. Per- forming arts had more impor- tance, however, than showcasing those who wanted to make per- forming their lives. The depart- ment was also a chance for stu- dents to learn more about them- selves. According to Dance Company sponsor Margie Ro- mero-Wolf, “Performing arts is important to many students’ educations be- cause it provides an opportunity to develop self-es- teem and to share possible hidden talents with others.” All of the students in the de- partment participated together to produce outstanding perfor- mances. Choir Director Bart Ev- ans summed up the teachers’ ap- preciation of such dedication: “When students made the deci- sion to reach for excellence they were committing themselves to a great deal of work and a high lev- el of self-discipline.” Designed by Kristen Pond.

Whether I compose, perform, arrange, or teach, I must be able to express myself through music.” -Damon Stevens erforming Arts
