2012 SENIORS NAME: Shirley Cheng YEARS: CONCERT BAND: 4 JAZZ BAND: 4 PEP BAND: 5 MARCHING BAND: 5 INSTRUMENTS PLAYED: Clarinet LEADERSHIP POSITIONS: Band President (senior) Clarinet Drill Coordinator (sophomore) MUSIC RELATED ACTIVITES: Spring Musical ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES/CLUBS: National Honor Society, Peer Tutoring and Peer Support BEST MOMENT IN MARCHING BAND: Hearing our band chant "U.S.A.!" during awards at Nationals this past season. WORDS OF ADVICE FOR UNDERCLASSMEN: High school truly flies by quickly so don't hesitate to do things that you want to do, except for eating cereal for breakfast during band camp; don't do that. Be proud to be in band because you can actually say "This one time at band camp...". Also, if you see Mr. Arena in a bad mood, don't even think about walking within 10ft of that man. You will regret it. FAVORITE QUOTE: "For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness." -Ralph Waldo Emerson COLLEGE/WORK PLANS: I plan to attend Rutgers University in New Brunswick and major in Communications. I'll just have to see where life takes me after that. WORDS OF THANKS/APPRECIATION: I want to thank all of the Band parents for feeding us wherever we go and for keeping this program running and all the friends I made over the past five years for making this such a memorable experience. I don't know where I'd be without you guys. I would also like to thank Mr. Arena for making band "hip and cool" and not making us play "The Horse" at football games. Last but not least, a GIGANTIC thank you to Brian Law for sticking with us all these years, inspiring us to do our best at every competition, and for providing the most interesting metaphors for everything we do.
2012 SENIORS NAME: Vicky Ann Ewald YEARS: CONCERT BAND: 1 MARCHING BAND: 5 COLOGUARD: 5 INSTRUMENTS PLAYED: Instruments ~ Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Color guard ~ Flag, Swing Flag, Sabre, Rifle, Air Blade ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES/CLUBS: NHS, World Language Club, HHS Play, S.A.D.D. FAVORITE QUOTE: Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me, And be my friend. BEST MOMENT IN COLORGUARD: The best moment I've ever had in Colorguard would have to be standing at attention, waiting for the drum major to put their hands down, grinning from ear to ear, at the end of a show. When I know that not only I personally did great, but that we all did great. Especially when we won a state championship. I'll never forget it. It is one of the happiest times of my life. WORDS OF ADVICE FOR UNDERCLASSMEN: Always remember: If a guard member screams MOVE! get out of the way cause chances are there’s a rifle/sabre/air blade/flag coming your way. Always leave it on the field. Never get yourself down cause you messed up. Fix it. Make the judges forget your mistake by showing them your best. Finally, to the color guard. Don't react, recover. And ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS smile! COLLEGE/WORK PLANS: Physical Therapy with disabled children WORDS OF THANKS/APPRECIATION: Thanks to Mr. Arena for helping me through my years of marching band. Thanks to Brian Law for being there for me through all the tears, and being the reason I stuck it out, even when I wanted to quit. Thanks to Lori Law and Christy Boehmer, for putting up with me, even when you wanted to hit me (lol). Thanks to my parents. For everything. For ALWAYS being there for me, and for the entire guard and band. For doing everything you could to help us. For never giving up on me, through my injured wrist, my tears, the late nights, the crazy hours, and the "Hey mom 'so-and-so' needs a ride home" at 3am when we already had a carful. You guys made it all worthwhile, and made everything possible. Without you, I never would have made it as far as I did. And finally, thank you to the rest of the band parents. You guys are the reason that we always did so well, and the reason we accomplished so much. We love you!

FAVORITE QUOTE: "Where's the shoe?" COLLEGE/WORK PLANS: Going to Drexel University for electrical/computer engineering; going into the United States Marine Corps as a combat engineer after I graduate from Drexel. WORDS OF THANKS/APPRECIATIONI want to thank the Drumline first and foremost. You all have given me so many great memories, and I'm going to miss each one of you so much. You all really are a family to me, and I'm really going to miss the times we've had. I also want to thank everyone in band, for making my time in it so much fun. I'd like to thank Mr. Arena, Mr. Koenig and the band parents for all these great years too, none of it would have been possible without them!

The contents of those quotes will be withheld! WORDS OF ADVICE FOR UNDERCLASSMEN: Embrace the feeling of tunnel vision, when it is in regard to something you want. Whether it is college, straight A's, or someone you care for, if you begin to think "I am going crazy!", that is a good sign! Keep focused...and don't let ANYONE get in your way. Finally, the most important one, make sure you laugh every day, because life stinks if it is always business. FAVORITE QUOTE: "ENJOY the step-by-step process in ANY skill" - Bill Evans COLLEGE/WORK PLANS: In the fall, I am happily attending my dream school, the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. While I am there, I will work toward a BA in Jazz performance - Saxophone, and my MA in Arts and Teaching. WORDS OF THANKS/APPRECIATION: To Mr. Art Leiby for playing "Star Wars" on trombone, and getting me interested in music in the first place, thank you. To my high school instructors, Mr. Kevin Arena and Mr. Jason Koenig, I will look back on high school, and think of not only good times in band, but Rocco's, Madden, and...oh, Dubois' Concerto in G!! Many students cannot say that, and I am genuinely grateful for that. To my private instructors, Mr. Chris Farr, Mr. Anthony Salicandro, and Mr. Skip Spratt, your instruction has catalyzed my love for music, and there aren't enough words in the English, Dutch, and Italian languages to display my thanks. I am much obliged to all three of you, for identifying my weaknesses in music, and transforming them into strengths. Finally, I have to thank my parents, Mr. Michael Lutz, and Ms. Andrea Chiacchio. I am grateful to my mother for providing me with everything I need to continue my dream of making music for a living. She is a mother, but not only that, she is an inspiration, and a role model. Thank you to my father, for always being positive in light of a struggle, mentally, physically, or emotionally. Thank you to both of you for NEVER telling me to get a real job.

FAVORITE QUOTE: It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult. ~Seneca COLLEGE/WORK PLANS: 2 year Associates Degree in liberal arts at ACCC with NJ STARS. Then, hopefully a music school. Even better yet, wherever the wind takes me. WORDS OF THANKS/APPRECIATION: Thank you, everyone really. It's difficult not to thank each and every one of you because, no matter how small, an impact was made to make mine, and everybody else's experience that to the extent of which it was. I can't remember a time in my life where I said, "Harrison, what in the Hell were you thinking when you joined band?!". I would like to give a special thanks to Mr. Arena, however. His first year teaching was my first year in high school, and I've learned an incredible amount of stuff from him in and outside of band. From everyone, I've learned things I'll keep with me forever. So again, thank you people. For giving me life.

2012 SENIORS NAME: Jessica Breanna Indio YEARS: COLORGUARD: 1 MARCHING BAND: 1 MUSIC RELATED ACTIVITES: The union of harmonious sounds and melodic beats paired with sinuous movements of the human form creating a marriage between sound and motion: lyrical dance. Aside from that I really have no other previous method of musical comprehension honestly.

Other than that the closest contribution I make to my actual school is taking part in the journalism department.

FAVORITE QUOTE: "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!" COLLEGE/WORK PLANS: I intend to pursue college aspirations of establishing a career in design.

WORDS OF THANKS/APPRECIATION: I genuinely appreciate everyone who has made me feel welcomed and applaud those in front and behind the scenes who make this activity a possibility. Though I am senior I most certainly lack seniority within this group and commend those who have proven their dedication for so long.

WORDS OF ADVICE FOR UNDERCLASSMEN: If you think you're even a little bit good at anything, don't be afraid to show it. It could change your life. FAVORITE QUOTE: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to always tell the difference.” - Kurt Vonnegut COLLEGE/WORK PLANS: Enrolled in ACCC with the NJ Stars program, then planning on studying animation at a state college.

I know I'll never forget any of you, because you're all the sweetest and funniest people I've ever met. God bless. Also a special thanks to Mr. Arena, for opening up a lot of opportunities for me.

Thank you for giving me the privilege to take part in such performances and for allowing me to meet new people in doing so.
