GHS Band Trip By R. Tanner Bivens
At midnight, April 1 st the GHS band left Giles County on a trip to
Orlando, Florida and Universal studios for their annual band trip. During
their five days in Orlando the band toured Universal Studios for two
days, made a splash in Wet and Wild, went to Coco Beach, and had a
barbeque on the pier. Drum line player Alex Lane said that “The whole
trip to Orlando was fun.” While clarinet player Alexis Ayers went
shopping and enjoyed the bus ride to Orlando. For some, like Stephanie
Green it was her first time riding a roller coaster which was The Revenge
of the Mummy.
The band also performed at China Wok in Universal Studios and
received a superior rating, the highest ranking that a band in the

time and is looking forward to next year.
Band student Alexis Ayers said “I felt surprised and very happy that we got a superior.”
When asked if they would get a superior rating on next years trip, Heather Katz and Carli Klecak said that they can not predict the
future, but with Mr. Kevin White as their band director and about ninety students for next years class, the 2008-2009 year is almost

The play was written by Rachel Davidson, with music and lyrics by Bill
Francoeur. Larry Marion, Kristen Radford, and Barbara Schied try their
hardest to prepare the young actors and actresses for their parts, coaching
them with their stage presence and lines. Samantha Owens, Ryan Davis, and
a few talented others are helping with the choreography. Bryan Stafford
works on the sound, while Matt Haul works on the lights. As the deadline
draws near, the cast comes together to make this last performance one to
remember.
Friday Knight Fever By Lindsay R. Honosky
The 70’s are coming back in a big way, and it’s happening on the stage of the Giles
High School auditorium! That’s right fly cats, this groovy new production is a comedy
based in the 1970’s. There are many things going down in this flash to the past, like a
school’s preparation for a chess showdown against the Russians, a love story, and even a
jewel heist! It all begins around Rita’s Roller Skating Rink, where the children of the
local school go to hang. Well, Rita comes to break up the party when she tells the kids
that she’s installing a new floor, which would shut the rink down for a while. One of the
