PRESIDENT'S CORNER
With Gratitude
This past week left me with tired feet, black circles under my eyes and a heart filled with gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of the annual College Showcase and especially the Theatre Guild. Working alongside our wonderful guild members and our amazing faculty filled me with joy. Seeing the Seniors sharing their talent and skill with awed college representatives and watching the faculty as they let them fly on their own after years of support was priceless. College representatives, new and returning, stopped volunteers to appreciate their hospitality, to marvel at our unique school and to compliment our talented students and the way they support each other and share a special camaraderie they don't see anywhere else.
This weekend was non-stop for our seniors, junior buddies, staff and volunteers and I hope they and their families have time this week to relax and recharge with loved ones. If you were unable to be a part of College Showcase this year, have no fear, it all happens again November 22-23, 2024. I truly appreciate everyone who gave their time and/or resources to make this year's College Showcase a success.
Guinea Bennett-Price, Lisa Cotie, Charlton Gavitt, Jeffery Miller, Renee Jones, Max Overton, Phil Vilar and Tonya Holloway made sure our kids had the tools to be successful. Trenton Williams filmed our students for the virtual showcase. Donors of funds and goods filled important gaps for a successful showcase. Donors of time made sure the days ran smoothly by supporting our faculty.
Thank you to the Board Showcase Committee Members and Senior Committee Members for supporting the Conservatory leading up to and during College Showcase!
