Hey, y’all, and welcome back to Teen Scene in ENID MONTHLY. We are already three months into the year!! Can you believe it!! This means it is time for enrollment for most kids in school, so let’s talk about it!
I have always been very involved in extracurriculars, whether it was choir, sports, or debate, I always had something. This is my encouragement for you, or your kid(s), to get involved in anything you can. One of my favorite extracurricular activities I have done (and am still doing) is Show Choir. We do different themed sets every year that consist of singing and dancing with special choreography to go with our theme. This year our directors chose Beetlejuice and The Beatles. For the first time, they spent lots and lots of money on a professional choreographer as well as costumes. We get to wear this elegant and flattering one-strap black dress along with an orange, red, and yellow dress called “Sunfire”. Anytime a new student asks what to get involved in my first words are SHOW CHOIR!! Another perk of being in any of the choirs or orchestras is a spring break trip every other year. I am so excited to attend the New York City trip next spring with my friends and, hopefully, my mom. This once-in-a-lifetime amazing opportunity is a great way to get connected with your peers and see beautiful cities you might never get the chance to ever see again. During this trip, we get to see multiple national landmarks and attend a few Broadway shows as well as a special Broadway Clinic. To top it all off, we get to stay in downtown Manhattan and even perform at the famous cathedral, St. John the Divine!!
If you want to have an amazing High School experience, GET INVOLVED!!! Join that club!! Play that instrument! I also recommend joining any sport that interests you even a little. I had no idea I would ever become a runner, but after trying it, it was a blessing in disguise. I met my best friends playing sports and could not imagine life without them.
