T he Arts Chatterbox Ruston High School October 21, 2010 Page 18 Muffins and Music by Emily Moore Arts Reporter The Ruston High Bearcat Choir is busy as always preparing for upcoming events. They are getting ready for their annual ―Coffee and Carols‖. They are also practicing for this upcoming year‘s events. The annual ―Bearcats on Broadway‖ is in the making. In addition, the most exciting event coming up is their trip to Europe at the end of the year. But how are they preparing? Besides practicing and organizing and preparing, they can be found every morning in front of the auditorium entrance. Their coffee cart sells coffee, cappuccinos, and hot chocolate. They also have yummy banana nut, blueberry, and chocolate chip muffins. Honey buns, fruit chews, rice crispy treats, and other snacks are available every morning before the first bell. The choir did a beautiful job on their performance at the Homecoming assembly. They gave all people attending just a little taste of what they‘ve got in the making. There‘s no doubt that they have left people excited and ready for upcoming choir performances. Beginning Band by Emily Moore Arts Reporter If you read ―What is Band?‖ in the September edition of the Chatterbox, you were enlightened on what the Ruston High School Band really does. This month, it is the beginning band‘s turn to be in the spotlight. Band members can always be seen practicing in the field, jamming out at the pep-rallies, and making spirit at the games. But where are the beginning band members? This year, Mr. Moss and Mr. Wood have recruited several new people for the beginning band. With three freshmen and a junior baritone, three freshmen tubas, a freshman saxophone, and a sophomore percussionist, the Ruston High Band will be set for next three years. Beginning Band is a great course for any year. Even as beginners, players are accepted into the band family. On home game days, beginners have several jobs to do. ―Manual Labor Friday‖ is the name for game days. Beginners arrive at class, grab the coolers, and head to the ice machine. They fill them up with ice then load them in the truck. Beginning Band members arrive at the school around 5:00 p.m. along with the band. Members have their own uniforms, which is a red polo tucked into blue jeans with a belt. Beginners march in with the band and help unload the instruments that can‘t be carried, then help to load them up afterwards. Beginning Band is a fun class to take. No one is refused and there is plenty of room. Learning an instrument is a good opportunity and can be done as credit! Art Club submitted by Mrs. Strickler Art Teacher Art Club is finally getting kicked off! Sponsors Ms. Ashworth and Mrs. Strickler have planned a school year of rewarding service projects for members to be involved with that will benefit the school as well as the community. Our first activity has already begun; members have been volunteering to face paint at the home football games. Students of all ages have been visiting our booth and leaving with a design and a smile on their faces! Work days are taking place so that the Art Club can create their big fundraising project…our ―paw print‖ ornaments! Last year‘s red and white paws will have a new look for the 2010-11 school year. Be watching for these to be on sale soon. They make great Christmas gifts for teachers, friends, and even one‘s self! There will also be some with Sr. ‘11 on them that would make nice gifts for those deserving graduates. Members are in the process of choosing their officers who will lead, delegate, and keep us all organized. Stay tuned for more news about our awesome club, and remember, ―If you don't create change, change will create you‖. We have all your instrument needs at Piney Hills Music!! 214 N. Trenton Street 232-3002
