PHS: Under the Influence of the Hypno Hick

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 04/29/2011 - 14:03

April 8 was the annual Hypno Hick, and this year I actually got up on stage along with many other Payson High students. The audience was ginormous because everyone knows how awesome the show is. The best word I can use to describe my experience is different. I definitely wasn’t like I usually am, which is unlikely to draw attention to myself. But up on the stage, I just didn’t care what anyone thought (obviously, because I scratched some guy’s feet and then rubbed my nose). It was actually really fun.

On March 23 Payson’s Orchestra went to Region Festival, held at Salem Hill High School. They got two 1- awards at the festival.  A 1- is the second highest score that an orchestra can receive.  They were the smallest group at the festival, yet they challenged the biggest and best orchestras in the region with their quality of sound and tone getting 2nd in region. “It was funny that we had such a little group, while others had tons of people,” said PHS cellist Adam Anderson.
