A bit about each of them:
What's the best part of your school day?-
Justin: When a student or ensemble conquers a difficult passage or piece they have been working on.
Angela: Although I love teaching communication in general, my theatre classes tend to be the most fun part of my day. I really enjoy seeing students act out different characters and we get to laugh and relax when we have the opportunity to play theatre games.
Tyler: When I get to have a conversation with an energetic student over something nerdy.
Carson: The best part of my day is watching my students become the best versions of themselves.
