October Photo of the Month Winners Announced

November 14, 2016

The MIPA Photo of the Month theme for October was “This is How We Roll” and centered around capturing the unique spirit of your student body.

Notes from judge: Tough competition. I am impressed with use of angles, framing, rule of thirds. Those close up shots with the emotion are really creating great stories!  Congrats on all of the entries.

Wilbur the pig, played by senior Anna Wright, grasps for freedom from the Zimmerman's oven during her performance in "Charlotte's Web." This was Wright's favorite moment in the play. "I'm picturing running from an intruder or just like a monster," Wright says about what goes through her head during the scene. "Theater is important to me because it is a way to get a bunch of people with nothing to do in common in the same room to laugh together, to cry together, and teach moral lessons right in front of their eyes. And it's really fun."

Lead actress, junior Aniya Sparrow, who portrayed Emma in The Spotlight Players production of "Emma!: A Pop Musical," sings the high note of "Man I Feel Like a Woman" by Shania Twain. "Emma!" is a jukebox musical featuring many well-known songs that keep the audience engaged. "I've been in many shows before, but this production has by far been the hardest I've ever worked and I think it's really paid off. Everyone put so much effort into their character and the technical aspects and that's what made the production so successful. I'm so grateful that I got the opportunity to play Emma, and I'll never forget how much fun I had or the feeling of being on the stage playing this character," Sparrow said.

"In a tearful embrace during the Falcon Brigade’s Senior Night Oct. 25, senior Leah Folkman hugs junior Salma Castillo. At halftime, seniors were recognized and stepped out of their shoes to make way for underclassmen. “It was definitely an emotional feeling,” Castillo said. “I have a lot of friends that are seniors this year, since I’m a junior this year, and watching them have them their last marching season and knowing mine was coming up, too, was a sad feeling, but also a joyous feeling because I’m glad I got to be there in that moment with them.”
