A fun summer of career preparation For five weeks in July and August of last year, junior Mary Pennock took advantage of a full scholarship in music by attending the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts at Bucknell University in Lewisburg. Mary was one of 300 students chosen from across the state after an extensive audition process last spring. PGSA accepted sophomores and juniors excelling in the artistic areas of music, art, dance, creative writing, photography, theatre, and film-making. Mary's session was highly intense with up to eight hours a day of work on flute and piano. She took a variety of courses including orchestra, jazz improvisation, music theory, and private flute instruction. PGSA students lived in the Bucknell dormitories, an arrangement Mary recalls with mixed feelings. She explained, "Dorm life is having to wait in line to take a cold shower at 6 a.m. '' Mary made many close friends in her fiveweek stay, but the "terrific time" was not all easy. She worked hard on her music, the field she plans to pursue in college and feels the expert instruction made a significant improvement in her skills. She remembers, "Saying goodbye was the hardest part; the rest was great."
