FACULTY AIRBANDS...we did it!



Thank you all who were able to participate in our Airbands epic performance! With a brilliant design by Deborah Heeb and Todd Peterson, we used music and dancing--yes DANCING--to play out "Remember when we were in high school and before you knew it, four years was up and suddenly we were graduating?" As the "surprise" opening act, we NAILED IT and everyone had a GREAT TIME! All of the rehearsing and practice paid off--our students LOVED it and couldn't believe teachers, counselors and Admin had THOSE moves! Maybe we'll be doing it again next year...so no worries--everyone can get a part!



Congratulations West Hills DramaKids for their fine showing at last weekend's DramaFest! Competing against students throughout the county,  Danielle Revilla, Christina Keegan, and Jennifer Bologna were honored in the "Scenes" category with  Ashley Carter and Darby Zelaskowski placing in  "Monologues" and Haley Rezendes placing in the Semi-Finals in "Monologues". Additional "Thank yous" go to all of our wonderful Wolf Pack students who crewed the event, making it possible and highly successful! Go Wolf Pack Performing Arts!!
