The audition process for the musical is not as hard as you might think it is. Luke Krogmeier says you should first get a paper from the office for the audition. Then just go to the auditorium on September 11th or 12 at 7:00 P.M. Then Mr. Miles will give you a script and you read lines as a character. If you are trying to be in the chorus, he will have you sing a couple of songs, but if you want a solo, he will have you sing a couple more songs. The musical is only for senior high students.

Bask et ball By Et h an Joh n son There is a lot going on in basketball from high school, college, and the NBA. Some things go on outside of the NBA that big basketball fans would like to know about. For example, in high school, some pretty big names right now are Lamelo Ball and Zion Williamson. Those two have elevated the popularity of high school basketball. And in college this upcoming season, everyone has their eyes on Michael Porter Jr., the #1 recruit in the 2017 class. He has committed to play for Missouri this coming season. People will also be watching Marvin Bagley, who skipped his senior year of high school to play in college this year. He has committed to Duke and will be playing for them this upcoming season. This season Duke will be a power house because along with Marvin, there are two other big players that have committed there. First is Wendell Carter, ranked #5 in recruiting, and second is Trevon Duval who is ranked #6. Another big team to watch out for is UCLA. They have 4 top-100 ranked players in their class committed to UCLA along with Jalen Hands, #20 on the list. Joining him is another big name player, Liangelo Ball, brother of Lonzo and Lamelo Ball. The next decade of basketball with all the upcoming players is going to be fun to watch.

M LB By Tu f f Siger Last Monday, the Colorado Rockies beat the San Francisco Giants 9-6. The Rockies had such a good game that both Trevor Story and Nolan Arenado hit back-to-back doubles. Nolan Arenado picked up his 112th RBI to tie the record. This was the 10th time that the Giants fell to the Rockies at Denver. Even though the Rockies are doing really well in a few games every once in awhile, it is very likely that the Rockies won?t make the playoffs this year. This is very disappointing because the Rockies started out really strong this year.

Review s Un iver sal St u dios By: Emmanuel (EV) Vasquez If you ever go to California, I highly recommend heading to Universal Studios. There are lots of fun rides and attractions. My personal favorite ride is Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey as it takes you through Harry Potter ?s world. There are many other rides including The Mummy, Jurassic Park, Transformers, The Simpsons, The Walking Dead, Despicable Me, Shrek, and The Harry Potter Roller Coaster. There are also a lot of great foods. I didn?t eat much, but I did enjoy a really big Simpsons donut.

Under Armour makes a lot of nice clothes, so I get most of my clothes from them. A lot of colleges and sports teams use the Under Armour brand, which makes Under Armour a lot better. They make all sorts of apparel, from shirts to shoes, and everything in between. Most of their clothes are comfortable, and good for exercising and doing other athletic things in. I would recommend Under Armour to anyone in any sport or just looking for something comfortable to wear throughout the day.

Peace Tea By: Kyrah McConachie Peace tea combines the greatness of flavored drinks and healthy tea to make an explosion of great flavors. It starts with the flavor of the drink, perhaps the flavor razzleberry settling on your taste buds, but then a twist comes about your mouth as you finally taste the essence of natural tea. These drinks make you thirst for more as you drink more. I recommend you buy all the flavors as they bring peace to your taste buds. You can buy these at the Holyoke Marketplace.

Figh t Nigh t Global 73 By Tuff Sigler Monday night, the most hilarious fight ever took place in Ali Aliyev Sports Palace in Russia. It was a fight for the heavyweight title. In the end though, Rousimar Palhares ended up beating Shamil Amirov, winning every round. In the third round, both of them were very woozy. They ended up throwing punches that missed by a mile and walked around in circles. In a later round, the ref made a horrible call on a pin that they changed later. The fans started throwing trash into the ring because of the call. This caused the ref, Brandao, to exit the ring and go sit in the stands until the fight was over.

Nor t h Kor ea M u dslide By Kyrah Mcconachie North Korea?s recent nuclear test caused a mudslide. Scientists figured out this by are what are thought to be the first satellite images of the test. The test created a powerful 6.3 magnitude tremor that was felt across China?s border. North Korea has made six nuclear tests which involve a system of tunnels dug beneath a mountainous region. This disturbance was made near Mt. Mantap. Some experts believe it caused an underground tunnel to collapse.

Nor t h Kor ea Hydr ogen Bom b Test By Max Kleve The North Korean army claims to have tested a Hydrogen bomb. The test is ten times more powerful than their first test, almost one year ago. No other country has verified it. With tensions with North Korea at an all time high, the U.S is thinking about moving some of our nuclear bombs to North Korea, in case they attack the U.S, so we can attack back very fast. Donald Trump has also thought about attacking first, in order to hold back North Korea?s nuclear program.
