Hubbard’s chorus teachers, Mrs. Quattrin-Campagna and Mr. Wright, decided this school was in need of a musical and that is exactly what they gave us. The musical was called ‘Working.’ It was about people who put a lot of work in for their community, but it is all unappreciated and unnoticed. The play was performed on three days: March 11, 12 and 13. Many of you may have gone to see the amazing musical Hubbard choir students brought to you, but you did not experience the process of preparing it. You may be wondering what it was like to conduct this performance, Mr. Wright said, “It was challenging and time consuming because of the amount of students involved but definitely worthwhile.” Asked if either one of teachers regretted spending so much time to work on a musical led them both to say, “Absolutely not.” Mrs. Quattrin-Campagna continued by saying, “It was worth every second and added more life to the choral unit.” Did the musical turn out the way they expected? Mrs. QuattrinCampagna said, “The students surprised me in a pleasant, positive way and rewarded us with a beautiful performance.” Ruby Martinez, Div 509, was one of the soloists in the performance and said “It was hard getting everyone to work together in general, also learning all the different songs plus my song and speaking parts.” As far as her expectations she said, “I thought it’d be bad and there’d be a lot of mess ups because not many people were focused but it was better than I expected in the end, like ten times better.” Daniel Blanco, Div 503, also had to face a few challenges. “Memorizing the music, practicing pitch, acting, learning the choreography, and time management were all challenges,” He said. His expectations were similar to Ruby’s, “I thought it was going to be a disaster since we only had two months. I thought there’d be goofing around but it turned out pretty spectacular and I am extremely honored to have been a part of it. By Brenda Barbosa
Make your reservations! Bates Motel reopens to the general public Monday, March 9 at 9:00 ET/PT on A&E. In the last two seasons, fans from all over the world have watched the most infamous “ momma’s boy”, Norman Bates, well-played by Freddie Highmore, in the act of an innocent and sweet boy. However, Norman has surprised us with a much darker side of him. If you recalled Alfred Hitchcock’s horror classic “Psycho”, it begins with the life of Norman Bates as an adult. “Bates Motel” takes you back to the teenage years of his life that made him how he came to be. You will be in suspense as there are lots of jaw dropping moments as the relationship between Norman and his mother get much more intense and disturbing. Season three is set to get deeper into the mind of Norman Bates. Bates Motel has promised to fill this upcoming season with crazy family drama. In an exclusive sneak preview of Season 3, Norman had told his mother, “It just feels overwhelming. And like it’s this other part of me” and “I think there’s something wrong with me.” Not only does Norman feel like something is wrong, but also feels that he’s developing a second personality. His mother, Norma Bates, played by Vera Farmiga, is aware of Norman’s actions and his mysterious blackouts that lead him into doing unusual things. This could be the end of Norman’s innocence. Will the serial killer in him be revealed? |
