Changes in Cloud 9

Alexandra Marable, Editor in Chief • Sep 19, 2013

After Mrs. Robinson’s retirement, Cloud 9 was in need of a new director. That new director is Laurel Beard who lives and breathes music. But she is not the only change in the female acapella group. One of the members, Jordan Shelton (10), will be moving to Washington.

With that being said, the group will be holding auditions to fill her spot. Freshmen are not allowed to try out and involvement in choir is required. These auditions will be held the week after the fall concert which is October 7th. The dates for auditions are October 15th and 16th. Laurel will be handling the auditions on Tuesday to narrow down the choices and Wednesday will be in front/with the remaining eight girls. Music for auditions will be out soon in the choir room.

In between those surgeries, I had a labrum tear. This ongoing injury has caused me to quit swimming and turn my focus to my music and writing. Slogan to Live By A slogan that I live by is, “ You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get,” which is said by Michael Phelps. I believe that any dream can come true, you just have to work on it and you can achieve it. Biggest Pet Peeve My biggest pet peeve is when teachers walk around during tests. It tends to make my anxiety go up and then I don't focus on the test and focus on the teacher walking around instead. I wish they could just trust that students wouldn't cheat.
