Good Almost-Summer Tidings,

We are now down to just a few weeks remaining in the 16-17

school year. It almost goes without saying how quickly these years seem to fly by - it seems like we just wrapped up Little Mermaid! Our students con-tinue to produce amazing artwork and to acheive at very high academic lev-els; my advice to them is to not slow down just yet.

As parents, I encourage you to take some time to check with your student about her/his schoolwork and encour-age them to finish strong during these last few weeks. Please check the par-ent portal and have conversations with your student about his/her progress in both the Harrison and Lakeland class-es. Research consistently demonstrates that engaged and active parents have a strong correlation to student success.

Of course, this time of year, many of us begin reflecting on our soon-to-be graduates and the positive impacts they’ve had on Harrison. We are so blessed to have such an amazing class as the Class of 2017. With four Nation-al Merit finalists, a YoungArts award-winner, and numerous acceptances from prestigious colleges, they have excelled as both artists and scholars - as evidenced by the 78 students who were recognized last week at the annu-al Superintendent’s Scholars awards. They are living examples of how “art

makes you smart.” I hope you’ll take the opportunity to come out and attend some of our year-end performances and see many of these students on the Harrison stage for the last time as high school students.

To that end, let me also invite you to our commencement ceremony on May 25. Held for the very first time in the Youkey Theatre at the Lakeland Cen-ter, this annual rite of passage for our seniors is always a wonderful event filled with dignity, ceremony, and per-formances worthy of the Harrison tra-dition. The event is set for 7:30 p.m. on Thursday evening - Lakeland High School’s commencement exercises are at 4 p.m. the same day. There is no cost for attending these events at the Lake-land Center.

Finally, I trust that each of you will have a wonderful summer and that your plans include some time to rest and relax. There’s no question that the pace and expectations of the school year can often be daunting and stress-ful. The opportunity to “disengage” from the frenetic schedules that we keep is important and I hope you’ll get to do just that.

In closing, let me thank you once again for a tremendous year - Harrison is a better place because of your support!

All performances at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted.Dates and performances subject to change.Purchase tickets at www.harrisonarts.com

Greetings from Visual Arts! It is a particularly busy and exciting time of year for our department.

This year’s “Creative Youth 15th Congressional District Competition” was on display at the Polk Mu-seum of Art in early April. Of the 82 pieces accepted for exhibition, 44 were that of Harrison students – the largest number we have had accepted to the show to date! Our own Shannon Nichols (10th Grade) was awarded first place in the district-wide competition for her self-portrait collage. Second place went to Stefani Shoreibah (12th Grade) for her mixed media drawing. Brooke Broxterman (12th Grade) was awarded the Polk Museum of Art Purchase Award for her mixed media piece. Merit awards were given to Nybeth Ramos (11th Grade) and Marilee Rios-Diaz (12th Grade). We had several winners in this year’s Bartow Bloomin’ Arts Festival in the high school competition. Best of Show was awarded to Isabella Molina Sanchez, an Award of Distinction went to Dylan Hilbert, and Awards of Recognition went to Camryn Lewis, Nahairy Torres, and Sinjon Wilkerson. The inaugural high school Scholastic Scholar-ship competition at the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts was held in March. This was the first year that high school students were able to compete in this prestigious festival. The show included work from students in six counties throughout Central Florida. For his expres-

sive painting, our own Noah Cribb (12th Grade) was awarded first prize, a $1,000 scholarship, and $500 for our department. The Visual Art Department enjoyed a trip to the Dali Museum in Saint Petersburg. In addition to their collection, a special exhibition of artist Frida Kahlo was on display. We have enjoyed a number of guest artist visits to the studio the past few months. Artists Lauren Sleat, Libby Rowe, and Patricia Lamb presented master class-es for our students in 3D drawing installation, perfor-mance art, and plaster cast sculpture respectively. We had a number of juniors accepted to some prestigious summer institutes. Oliver Stephenson will be at Ringling for a month this summer studying illus-tration and drawing for animation. Susan Alvarez will be attending MICA’s summer program to study book making and acrylic figure study painting. Ryan Johnson will also be studying acrylic figure study painting and taking an art history course at MICA. Andrew Boynton will also attend the MICA summer program studying photography and videography. Thank you to the Har-rison Parents’ Association and the Summer Art Experi-ence Scholarship for assisting several of these students with tuition costs for these premier programs!

ChorusThe Chorus Department continues to have another

wonderful and successful year! The students with-in the department have worked above and beyond to prepare for all of our events. This year the department has had 11 students in the state ACDA Honor Choir, 26 students in the All-County Chorus, 24 students in the Florida All-State Choirs, Superior ratings at MPA for all three choirs, two men singing as part of the ACDA National Honor Choir, and our Women’s Chorus per-formance at the National ACDA Convention. While at National ACDA we were able to hear wonderful choirs, shop till we dropped at the Mall of America, and went snow tubing. It was a wonderful experience. These hon-ors do not include our participation in school events or the 27 Satin Doll community concerts given this year. We would like to invite everyone to our final concert of the year Thursday, May 4 at 7:00 p.m. This

concert will include a work entitled Memorial. This work was written as a response to the events from Sep-tember 11, 2001. The concert will also feature several spirituals. Tickets can be purchased at harrisonarts.com

The Harrison Women’s Chorus performed in March in Minnesota at the National ACDA Convention.

The Creative Writing department has been busy during the past few months. The Red Carpet

Event was a success and both creative writing stu-dents involved, Jillian Keifer and Hannah Larson, did an outstanding job reading original pieces while ac-companied by an improvized inter-pretive dance by students from the dance department. This marked our second collaboration with another department this year, the first being our readings at last month’s visual arts exhibit A Thousand Words. The cross-department collaborations have been very pop-ular among the students and the community. We are looking forward to continuing these next year. Congratulations to Phaedra DeJarnette who recently won an International Torrance Legacy Cre-ativity Award for her poetry. Also, junior Jocelin McGrath’s poem, An Island of Iron Knees, has been named a finalist in the Sister Cities International competition. Best of luck to her. On May 2 in the Black Box Theatre, we will present works from Magnetic: A Literary Journal. It’s our official “release party.” We will have twenty student readers, a guest poet (Terry Kennedy, author of New River Breakdown), and some refreshments to enjoy during intermission. Copies of the magazine will be available for a donation and student-designed department pocket t-shirts will also be for sale. The Creative Writing Library could use some help. If you have any books you feel would be a good addition, feel free to let us give them a home. We are mostly looking for literary fiction, creative non-fic-tion, and poetry – from the classics to the contempo-rary. If you aren’t sure if what you have works, please contact Mr. Parody by e-mail for more information. Any donated books that are unable to be used will be re-donated to Friends of the Library, so either way they will hopefully end up in the hands of a reader. Also, we would love your typewriter! If you have one laying around collecting dust, please con-sider donating it to us. We are looking specifically for manual typewriters (not the later models that require power). If you have one available, please contact Mr. Parody.

Technical Theatre Creative Writing

Since the last Herald, the Theatre Tech department successfully mounted the Masquerade Dance,

the Musical Theatre Department’s production of Anything Goes, the Theatre Department’s produc-tion of Salvation Road, the Alumni Concert, and our Red Carpet Fundraiser. We are currently working on the Senior Showcase, a set for the Polk County ITV awards, the Spring Dance Concert, and individual projects, all to be wrapped up by the middle of May. The Senior Showcase this year will be a per-formance of 12 Angry Men in the Black Box The-atre on May 13 at 7 p.m. This courtroom drama was made popular as a televised stage play in 1957 and focuses on 12 jurors debating in a locked jury room until a unanimous decision about the fate of a young man can be made. The play explores issues of preju-dice, justice, and our legal system. Our production has been “updated” featuring a predominantly fe-male cast while the language and themes keep true to the script. Please join us for an evening of high drama that includes a full set built by Stagecraft 1 and Stagecraft 4 students. Stagecraft 2 and 3 are building the set for the ITV awards that take place May 2 at Victory Church in Lakeland. This complex set consists of several cut out flats that will be lit from behind to provide different colored panels that fit the mood of the ceremony. This project is part of an effort to expand our community engage-ment opportunities. Earlier this se-mester we also built a set and had students work on the school district’s Teacher of the Year production at the Lakeland Center. Our electrics department is currently hang-ing lights for the Spring Dance Concert and our design students are painting a large pyramid on an oversized canvas. Join us for the Spring Dance Con-certs which will take place April 28 and 29 - both at 7 p.m. in the Harrison theatre. We are very proud of the work our depart-ment has done over the past few months and the high production values that have occurred through a de-manding production schedule. While we are wrap-ping up this year, our sights are already set on the de-signs for the 2017 All School Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie.

What a year this has been for the HJO! The Har-rison Jazz Orchestra has continued the tradition

of receiving “straight” Superior ratings at FBA District and State Music Performance Assessments (MPAs). As well, many of the students in the group participated in the District and State level Solo & Ensemble MPAs. Outside of the classroom, students stayed very busy playing in small combos on their own playing for many different occasions around the county. The Harrison Jazz Orchestra performed a two-hour concert for an enthusiastic audience in The Villag-es on April 11. The crowd absolutely loved the group, this time augmented with eight string players from the HSO. We are all especially grateful to our adjunct fac-ulty, Jeff Phillips and Herb Bruce, for playing in the concert that night as well as all the time they spend

sharing their real-world expertise with the students. The HJO will close the 2016-17 Harrison performance series with the Spring Jazz Concert on May 18. Join us for one final evening of jazz this school year!

The Musical Theatre Department had an incred-ible series of performances of Anything Goes.

A special thanks to all of the parents and volunteers who have made this such a successful production, particularly Sandra Campisi, Val Walsh, Tara Strick-land, the Taylor Family, and Hudson Landscaping. The Dr. Phillips Center sent adjudicators to give a critique of Anything Goes and to nominate students for the Applause Awards. The goal of the Applause Awards program is to honor and celebrate excellence in high school musical theater. Theater professionals, industry experts, and educators serve as adjudicators, traveling all over Central Florida to watch and review participating high school’s pro-ductions. Their comments are shared with the local school to support the teacher, the department, and the students. At the end of the school year, adjudi-cators’ reviews and tabulations determine awards in specific categories. The Applause Awards show takes place at the Dr. Phillips Center on June 4, 2017 at 6 p.m. In addition to Best Musical, Best Ensem-ble, Best Direction, Best Musical Direction, Best Choreography, Best Costume Design, and Best Set Design; the following nominations were awarded to Anything Goes: Outstanding Lead Role: Kristen Brock, Ryland Marbutt, Jordan Marshall, and Au-drey Fisher; Outstanding Supporting Role: Madelyn

Walsh; Outstanding Dancer: Kristen Brock and Ry-land Marbutt; Honorable Mention: Lucas Manley, Neftali Benetez, Camerin Leiva, Ty Arredondo Alumni Guest Artist Caitlin Pilette has come in to work on unique choreography with students. Alumni Guest Artist Sarah Claire Smith will be coming in during jury week to workshop audition techniques, vocal performance techniques, and to assist with adjudicating vocal juries. In addition to class work, students are also getting ready for our showcases in the spring. The Senior Showcase will be Friday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m. and the Underclassmen Showcase will be Friday, May 26 at 7:00 p.m. The showcases are an oppor-tunity for students to present individual class work and exceptional ensemble work created throughout the school year. In addition to the showcases, our Juniors are putting the finishing touches on their scenery, cos-tumes, script and choreography for their partnership with the Doris Sanders Learning Center. Every year our Juniors teach and perform with the physically and mentally challenged individuals from the cen-ter which culminates in a performance at Lakeland’s MayFaire on Saturday, May 13. Please look for us if you venture out to MayFaire this year!

The piano department has been very busy this semes-ter. We were very fortunate to have a masterclass

with Robert Fleitz, Juilliard graduate, and Mark Thiel-en, conductor, prior to Rob-ert playing Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Imperial Symphony Orchestra. Their collabo-ration was so interesting for the students to hear the perspective of the soloist as well as the conductor. Rob-ert’s performance with the symphony the following evening was spectacular. We were also ex-tremely fortunate to have Dr. Young-Ah Tak, artist

in residence at Southeastern University, come and play for the piano students. She is not only an amazing art-ist, but a truly inspiring individual. She worked with two of our students, Desiree Carosi and Beatrice Dalov, in a masterclass setting, which was so beneficial to all. Several of our students performed in the All-County Piano concert this year held at Tenoroc High School. A special thank you to the following students for their extra commitment to learning this literature and their time for the rehearsals and performance: Karla Ale-man, Sophia De La Cruz, Rylie Dempster, Simeon New-man, Katie Achinger, Hannah Githens, Elis Joyner, and Evan West. The piano students did an amazing job on their Spring Piano Concert on April 6. The concert highlighted a variety of solo and ensemble repertoire. The concert concluded with a four piano arrangement of Liszt’s Hun-garian Rhapsody No. 2 performed by the senior ensemble class. It was an exciting way to conclude our final con-cert. Our seniors are nervously anticipating their Se-nior Piano Recital on May 19 at 6 p.m. in the Harrison Theatre. This is a free concert open to the public. The se-niors are required, as part of their curriculum, to program and prepare a concert consisting of new and previously performed repertoire. It is a wonderful way for them to conclude four years of study. Unfortunately, it will also be their last performance as Harrison piano students. Join us for this final piano event of the year!

PianoIt has been a wonderful spring in the Harrison

Orchestra Department. Orchestra students performed at their respective band and orchestra state level Solo and Ensem-ble Music Performance As-sessments (MPAs) in March. In all, 45 students participat-ed earning 28 medals. Con-gratulations to all! The HSO also performed at the FOA State Orchestra MPA at Blake School of the Arts in Tampa on April 24 earning straight superior ratings! We have been lucky to work with many guest artists over the course of this year. In May, the Chamber Strings will be working with Ba-roque performance expert Dr. Valerie Arsenault. Dr. Arsenault is on faculty of Florida State Uni-versity where she teaches Baroque performance practice. She will be joining Chamber Strings for a performance of Vivaldi’s Spring as well as Telemann’s Don Quixote Suite. The Wind Symphony will present a con-cert on Sunday, May 7 at Polk State College in Winter Haven. The concert is sponsored by the Winter Haven Symphony Guild as groups from Harrison have been performing in this venue since 1994! The concert is free and will include music for wind band by Vaughan Willams, Whitacre, and Gillingham as well as music for brass choir, chamber winds, and percussion en-semble. The concert begins at 3 p.m. On May 11, the orchestra will present a concert that will feature our year’s work as well as winners from our annual concerto competi-tion. The competition was held in February and winners were selected by a panel of guest judg-es from a great pool of applicants. The winners this year are Sophia Jean performing Fantasie for Flute and Orchestra by Georges Hüe, Tison Savage performing Viola Concerto in D Major – movement 1 by Karl Stamitz, and Jessica So-kolski performing Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin. The concert will also feature perfor-mances by the Wind Symphony, Philharmonic Orchestra, and Chamber Strings. This will be our final orchestra concert of the year - exclud-ing our traditional performance of Nimrod at graduation - so come out and hear us...the “ba-ton drops” at 7 p.m.

TheatreThe theatre department had a very successful run of

the spring production of Salvation Road. We per-formed for three well-attended shows in February. Con-gratulations to all of the students involved! The Florida State Thespians Festival was an exciting endeavor. We had six students invited to compete in Tampa at the annual three-day event in March. Theatre students presented monologues, duet scenes, and a solo musical for the judges. They then stretched their acting muscles in workshops and finished each day by watch-ing exceptional main stage plays at the Straz Center and

other downtown venues. Showcases fill the final weeks in the theatre de-partment as students in Acting 1, 2, 3, and Senior Pro-duction present a culmination of the year’s work. Under the helm of Mr. Kimble, seniors will share the Black Box stage for the last time together in 12 Angry Men on May 13. The sophomores are staging This is a Text on May 17. Seniors Lily Tanner and Dajalynn Sanchez will direct and stage manage, respectively, the fresh-men in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe on May 22. Finaly, the juniors will present the Bard’s Much Ado About Nothing on May 24 under the direction of Mr. Sniegocki.

Recently, our dancers performed in the Red Carpet concert. Students were featured alongside mem-

bers of the Chorus, Musical Theatre, and Jazz depart-ments. Talia Demps and Emily Rozen also collabo-rated with Creative Writing students for a structured improvisation presented in the concert. The annual Spring Dance Concert will be pre-sented April 28 and 29 offering a delightfully diverse program sure to please dance, music, and film lov-ers alike! Facets and Shadows by guest artist Cath-erine Batcheller, former Stuttgart Principal, will begin the evening to the amazing sounds of Shostakovich. New works by Shelley Bourgeois and Susan Olson range from abstract to light-hearted fun to dramatic with overarching, universal themes. The percussion ensemble under the direction of Rob Lambert will fill the theatre and shake the rafters with the very contem-porary music of Lou Harrison. In collaboration with MPA, the dance film Ever Ours will be premiered at the concert with choreography by Shelley Bourgeois, direction/cinematography/editing by Alex Troianno, and an original musical score by alumni Tosh Sargent. The athleticism and beauty of classical ballet will be present in variations from Swan Lake, La Esmerelda, Walpurgis Night and Sleeping Beauty. Mark your calendars for the senior dance con-cert, May 20 at 7 p.m. in the Harrison Theatre. This concert is sure to please, featuring a variety of modern and contemporary ballet choreography by the dance department seniors.

Dance Guitar

The guitar department enjoyed a successful Spring Concert with the usual mix of solos and ensemble

performances. Soloists on the concert included Alex Shadood, Stephaney Quintero Andrade, Nick Wood, John Butz, James Halman, Jessie Thurman, and Max Hedman and duets were performed by Webb Olson and Coleman Ellis and by John Butz and Jake Bowen. Additionally, we heard Camille Hagins play guitar and sing Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls along with Maguire Schmid on percussion. Isaiah Ingram and Sebastian Rodriguez-Borysek played a blues jam. The program concluded with a performance of the entire department playing two selections from Star Wars by John Williams, just in time for the 40th an-niversary of the first Star Wars film. Congratulations to John Butz who received a Superior with Distinction at State Solo and En-semble. Also congrats to Jessie Thurman and Jake Bowen who received Superiors. Congrats also to the Retrograde Guitar Quartet for their concert on April 25. Members of the quarter are Jake Bowen, John Butz, Cam Clark, and Max Hedman. Two guitar students, Webb Olson and Cole-man Ellis, were awarded Summer Art Experence scholarships. They will be attending the Chamber Art Madrid summer festival in Madrid, Spain, where they will receive intensive ensemble training and will perform in concerts in several different concert halls in Madrid, including the famed Ateneo.

Motion Picture Arts

The 2017 Motion Picture Arts Showcase was a huge success and was sold out for both the Friday and

Saturday night screenings. The showcase contained twenty of the forty-nine new films produced by MPA students in the last twelve months. All of the films can be seen on the 2016-2017 MPA Blu-ray disc. If you did not purchase your copy at the showcase, they are still available for the price of $10 from the MPA Depart-ment. We have enjoyed continued success at many film festivals this spring! At the beginning of March, the Motion Picture Arts Department had five films that were screened at the 2017 Gasparilla International Film Festival. One of the films, The Script (written and di-rected by Will Smith) won the award for Best Screen-play. The other four films screened were The Ballad of Billy Creel (written and directed by Noah Hickey), Landline (written and directed by Will Smith), Picture Perfect (written and directed by Taylor Hammersla), and Without Warning (written and directed by Connor Devore). Later that month, Without Warning placed in the top ten at the Palm Beach International Film Festi-val’s Student Showcase of Films. Also in March, the MPA Department took a two-day field trip to Atlanta, Georgia and went on three of the Atlanta Movie Tours! MPA took a total of three separate tours and saw film locations from Cap-tain America: Civil War, The Hunger Games, The Nice Guys, Rings, and The Walking Dead among many oth-ers. The students also got to sit down with working in-dustry professionals and learn about basic set etiquette and procedures. In April, we had seven films accepted in the 2017 SEU Revolution Film Festival. Connor Devore’s film Without Warning won Best Film Editing and Best High School Short Film. The other six films screened were A Wisp In Time (written and directed by Mary Klein), Donut Shop Holdup (written and directed by Will Smith), Michael Laurence (written and directed by Connor Devore), Picture Perfect (written and directed by Taylor Hammersla), Piece of Cake (written and di-rected by Hollis Rosenkranz), and White Walls (written by Courtney Jones and directed by Taylor Hammersla). We also had two films accepted into the Sarasota Inter-national Film Festival. The two films were Crayon Box (written and directed by Amber Moulton) and Donut Shop Holdup (written and directed by Will Smith), both of which received Honorable Mention awards.

We recently had three films accepted into the 2017 Boynton Beach Film Festival. Those three films were Picture Perfect (written and directed by Taylor Hammersla), The Script (written and directed by Will Smith), and Without Warning (written and directed by Connor Devore). Also, two films were accepted into the 2017 Sunscreen Film Festival East. Those two films were Sound and Vision (written and directed by William Stead) and White Walls (written by Courtney Jones and directed by Taylor Hammersla).
