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!

March Update!
Things are going full blast here at Thacher. I’ve already had a performance at Cal Poly with the Chamber Singers (did I mention that I’m a member of the Chamber Singers yet? Oops!) and am setting up for one near Disneyland this weekend. Academically, the teachers continue to keep us challenged, but are helpful making more »
Back!! (Musical?)
It does feel good to be back. One would think that a break from school would be relaxing and a refreshing way to stop school activities and just have fun. Until the day you go back to school, and you can’t help thinking: Ugh. School. Not here. Being from the other side of the world, more »

At the beginning of the year, I thought I could have practically picked out the gymkhana winners, but you never know until the season starts.

Before the Tigertones’ performance, I sat next to one of the singers at formal more »

Harmonic Convergence
Every Thursday night, I go with six other students and Mrs. Pidduck to the retirement home in Ojai, where we sing songs out of the Thacher Song Book to the people there. Tonight we sang very well. At least I think I did. What I love about singing at the retirement home is that I more »

For Now, Four Goals
As I look out to the valley, the sun sets and the night slowly settle in. This week has been a lot about reflection. Midterms grades have been released, and they always cause for looking back. I reflect on my last few weeks here at school. It has been a whirlwind of friends, homework, horses, more »
