Prom 2012

Last night we had one of the most beloved traditions for the students, Prom, a dream night for many of them.  It's good to mention the organization by the prom committee leaded by Eliza Denton was really good , and like always our fabulous faculty was there ready to help to have a great time, we have so many pictures that we decide to make a video instead.
We have a performance by Patrick Swansburrow and of course the fairy was there to name the Queen and King prom for every grade. It was a fun night, the girls look gorgeous and the boys very handsome.
Now with officially 2 months away from the end of the school year let's keep focus on the task of having good grades. It's very important to make the best effort academically and in each of your extracurricular activities show your Titan pride.

Powderpuff Football Game

The teams ready for the battle

Today we had a spectacular day and also we had the annual Powderpuff Football Game it was a great game with some acrobatic plays showing that the girls have skills.
The score doesn't represent what was going on in the field, but the students had so much fun....and like always, we strengthened friendships. We enjoyed our time together. We enjoyed the fellowship and who knows? maybe an NFL scout could be looking for a player.
Our teachers where there to show their support and love to each one of the fabulous Titans, here are some pictures and we look forward for the next Powderpuff Football Game.

Are you ready for the rumbleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!?!?!?!

THS Instrumental Music State Solo and Ensemble Scores

State Solo and Ensemble Report:


The Tuacahn High School for the Performing Arts showed this weekend why it is quickly becoming the finest music program in the state: Its fantastic students.


THS Instrumental Music received almost complete superiors across the board, with only the guitar ensemble being half a notch away, yet far surpassing the other guitar ensemble at state who received a 3-. For the record, the guitar ensembles judge was unusually tough, handing out only two "1" scores out of nearly 40 ensembles judged. Not too mention, under that incredible guidance of Dave Andersen, the Guitar ensemble came from a loose band of students with varying abilities, to the highest scoring Guitar ensemble at state, and one of two ensemble who actually qualified for state. Congratulations Guitar Ensemble, and thank you David Andersen.

The following is the list of all scores received at State Solo and Ensemble:


Violin
Sabrina Parry I
Larrea Cottingham I-
Kathryn Porter I


Viola
Ashley Pittario I


Cello
David Edmunds I


Bass
Jeffery Chapman I-


Guitar
David Edmunds I


Piano
Keely Schmerber I


Ensembles

Guitar Ensemble II+


Congratulations to our students on their outstanding performances! A special thanks to Heather Carroll for her fine piano accompanying and dedication to your students.
