Performing Arts: Talent In Action The Arts Clubs, which include the Drama Club, the Art Club, the Girls Ensemble, and the Cho- rus, is a group of clubs centering on talent in the performing arts. Even though they are based on radically different activities, the common thread of these four clubs is the appreciation of art in its many different forms. The Drama Club has a new beginning this year, with a new teacher, Mike Larson. He has or- ganized the club to include more after school meetings, which opens the club up to people not in a regular drama class. Their major production, DRACULA, also served as their money-mak- ing project. Said Nancy Betler, UDRACULA was a unique way to earn money as well as one of our most enjoyable projects. The Art Club, sponsored by Mr. Morton, has expanded this year. Their major project was selling Christmas cards made by Glenn students. Said Daniel Pierce, I joined this club be- cause I enjoy art and plan to make a career out of commer- cial art, and this club is some- thing I enjoy. The Girls' Ensemble has evolved into an advanced per- forming class. Last year they Organizations had to squeeze in practice be- fore school, but now the Ensem- ble is more organized. Directed by Mrs. Chavis, they have per- formed at Hanes Mall and the WXII Christmas special. Said member Peggy Cole, The pro- ject I enjoyed the most was sing- ing on Channel 12 on Christmas day. It was our gift to Glenn and our families. Their major pro- ject was attending a choral festi- val in Surry County and in Atlan- ta. The Chorus has performed in the Christmas program, at Hanes Mall, Sunrise Towers, and in the Spring play. I enjoy chorus because it gives me a peaceful feeling, said Angie Seabrooks. I get a break when I don't think about anything but singing. The Arts take time to teach students the beauty of perform- ing arts. Their talent and enthu- siasm is challenged and chan- nelled into a constructive, enjoy- able outlet for all. Drama Club: L. Edison, K. Hayes, L. Johnson, A. Whittington, D. Angell, P. Cole, B.J.

Composing Sparkling Spirit The band, directed by Mr. Clarke, is made up of three dif- ferent sections. They are the concert band, marching band, and majorettes. Each section has its own practices, purposes, and performances, and the marching band and majorettes are under the direction of drum major An- gie Williams. The concert band practiced for perfection, for they have played concert music at such places as Hanes Mall and the Christmas P.T.A. Said Fresh- man Keith Davis, For me, it's a great distraction from my aver- age day. l can come to band and lose all the pressure. Concert band in high school is a great step up from middle school band. The marching band and ma- jorettes worked as a team under the direction of Angie Williams during football season. They Attention Bobcats! Marching band, Highsteppers, and majorettes bring it all together for a high energy performance at the Glenn vs. Page game. Organizations . A practiced at night, in the cold, to prepare for the weekend perfor- mances. There were exciting parts, too, though. Drummer Chris McWillis commented, The most exciting part is learn- ing and performing music off the radio. But even though it can be exciting, there are a lot of responsibilities. Denise Bullard remarked, 'iWe have the re- sponsibility of being at every game and practice so we can perform at our best. Majorette Tonya Dalton commented, Be- ing a majorette was really good for me. I have always enjoyed twirling, and the honor of being one of Glenn's first majorettes was something special. Through lots of hard work, practices, and sour notes, the concert band, marching band, and majorettes made the Bobcat halftimes and spirit sparkle. And Now For Your Enjoyment! On the day of the homecoming pep rally, Glenn students and faculty enjoy a few pleasing rhythms from the orchestra.
