Leaving a Legacy

I've been given the honor to document a pinnacle moment of Mason High School. Since this year is the bicentennial, for the first time in our history the band, orchestra and choir have collaborated. With their endless hours of rehearsals, they were able to perform Beethoven's Ninth Symphony--a feat not many high school students can say they accomplished.

Let this be a legacy and a memory the Mason High School will never forget.

Sound of the Horn

If you would've told me four years ago I would've written for The Chronicle, Mason High School's student newspaper, or I would've reported a produced a story for MBC, our broadcast news channel, I'd call you crazy.

But today I've written seven stories, six that appeared in The Chronicle. And today I am proud to show you, for the first time ever, my hand in reporting for MBC.

It has been a pleasure to work with an amazing crew, while also having creative freedom in my topic of choice. I hope that my work can continue and improve over the next few months.

Not Dead

12 years and 4 albums later My Chemical Romance broke apart leaving the crowd of alternative music devastated. But thefans weren't left unaccounted for. Lead singer Gerard Way left his comment in a letter:

"My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. 
It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you. 
I always knew that, and I think you did too.
Because it is not a band- it is an idea."

The idea still carries on. And after a year, it's not over.

Tomorrow is a new day with a release of My Chemical Romance's May Death Never Stop You. A compilation of 19 tracks from their previous release Conventional Weapons, fans will hold on to what is left.

Even if there's no more performances or signings, or merchandise,  pop in the CD and all the memories flood back.

It's not dead, for it's an idea.
