The CHIEF April 2019

Attention Pontiac FFA members! We have a few things coming up this month as well as next month as well. For this month, we have our monthly Chapter meeting on April 10. Please come out and join us for socialization, food and monthly updates on what is going on with our Chapter. We currently have our Farm & Agribusiness Management Career Development Event (CDE) going on. This CDE helps students to learn business skills and apply economic principles to agriculture businesses by competing with other chapters in our section. We also have our Ag Extravaganza coming up in the month of May. Remember to get out and participate and to keep true the FFA Motto: “Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve.” By Luke Morrissette

Music Department Disney Trip

After hours and hours of rehearsals, the Marching Band and Choir finally got to see their hard work pay off. On March 22, the Marching Indians performed “Robin Hood” down Main Street at the Magic Kingdom at Disney World. This consisted of several run-throughs of the song during the approximately twenty minute performance. For many it was their first time at the “happiest place on earth,” but for everyone involved it was a memory that no one will forget. The next day, the Disney choir performed at Disney Springs. They sung eight songs ranging from “God Bless America” to a song titled “Kalá kallá.” This concert lasted around ten minutes and was just as much an experience as marching down Main Street was. While students that went on the trip performed and went to two hour clinics, down time at the parks was also built into the days’ schedules. The Music Department went to Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Universal, and Epcot while down in Florida over spring break. Even though it was a trip of a lifetime, both the Band and Choir will now start preparing for their own respective spring concerts that are just around the corner. By Alyssa Rodriguez
