The Lure of an Assembly

For a month, Matt Edel patiently created his award winning FHS Film Festival short movie, King Parker and the Ninjas of the Square Table. The past 3 months, the Oklahoma cast has worked tirelessly to perfect the theatrical experience of the brilliant play. For years, juniors Maddie Stowell and Claire Brewer-Tannler have dedicated themselves to improving the school through their involvement and leadership in order to become the 2010-2011 All-Student-Body President. Each of these time consuming tasks were presented in a stunning manner at the FHS Teaser Assembly.
The assembly started-off with a bang as the crowd erupted with laughter watching the award winning Film Festival movie, King Parker and the Ninjas of the Square Table. Writer, producer and director senior Matt Edel certainly knew how to humor the audience. Following the film, were the ASB President speeches by candidates Maddie Stowell and Claire Brewer-Tannler. Both ladies gave brilliant speeches that exploded the audience into applause. “I have never seen two candidates with such a degree of friendliness towards each other,” said 6 year Activities Director, Mr. Tucker. In the end, Maddie Stowell’s speech, activities, and promises won the student body and were elected the 2010-2011 ASB President with Andrew Toothacker as the ASB Vice President.
The Teaser Assembly saved the best for last as three Oklahoma musical scenes were performed. Each scene was a masterpiece of acting, singing, and dancing. The actors and actresses played their characters beautifully, while the audience was transpired by the musical scenes of celebratory dancing. Estella Wilmarth, 10, exclaimed, “We have put in a lot of effort, but it paid off and we have a great show this year.” There are still three chances left to see this fantastic musical that will entertain you nonstop!
