The end of the year is fast approaching which means it’s almost time for Spring Sing- the annual all-inclusive spring musical. The best thing about the show is that everyone who auditions gets a role, which lets people explore their musical talents and experiment with theater in a less stressful way. Being that it is […]

Lots O’ Updates!
Wow! It’s been a while. First thing to talk about would definitely be the success of the winter musical, a performance of Monty Python’s Spamalot. This was actually my first time in a major role and I definitely had a blast playing “The dashingly handsome Sir Galahad”. Managing to crank out a massive show in […]
It’s the New Year!
Hello again, dear friends!! Wow, a lot has happened since my last post. Mainly, musical, independents, and 2013! I trust that everyone had a relaxing holiday, and managed to get away for some fun! Personally, I hit up some of the ski resorts on the west side of Lake Tahoe, and had a great time. […]
Reflections of Fall
The fall trimester of my senior year is coming to a close already. It went so fast, but I think I accomplished a lot. My senior classes are pretty difficult, but I have been pulling through better than I thought. AP Calculus BC and AP Biology have proven to be the toughest, but not tough […]
Fall wrap up
Wow! I can’t believe that fall is almost over!! Looking back, I wonder exactly what I was doing. FIrst, the cross country team had its last league meet several weeks back at Cate School. As expected, we won the league, and I got a personal record of 20:10. I actually ran that race faster than […]
Playing for Change: Music for Music Education!
Two weeks ago, Thacher did something called the Thacher Plays For Change Concert. It was a concert to support the Play For Change Foundation, and we joined 330 other events going on around the world in 52 different countries on that day. The concert was put on by two of my classmates, Shelby Luce and […]

This Friday night, our director of concerts and lectures, Mrs. Halsey, brought in Pentatonix to perform on our stage. It was so amazing to […]
Singing in the Spring. That is, Spring Sing
This year, I am one of three directors of the spring musical called the Spring Sing. The Spring Sing is a completely student-run production, with one faculty advisor, where we can perform anything we want! I have been in the cast of the Spring Sing during my freshman and sophomore years, and last year, the […]
Curtains Up!
Just four days ago, the cast and crew took our bows for the final show of “Curtains,” our winter musical. It is hard to believe that, after all that hard work over two months, it ended in just three nights of shows. But what months those two were! Although exhausting at times, it was such […]
Curtains
As soon as the curtains closed on our final production of the winter musical, Curtains, I felt both an immense weight lifted off my shoulders and overflow of emotions. Curtains was a musical like no other at Thacher; we had the biggest cast with the least amount of time. Since before winter break, the cast […]
