Flanagan
High School's Secret is out!
Have you ever had a secret that you were dying to
tell someone but just didn't know how? Ever
been filled with so much emotion that you had to let
it out but did not want to change your life?
Have you ever wanted to share your secret without
anyone knowing that it's really you?
Well,
if you have ever heard of Post Secret, you probably
know that after three book installments and a world-renowned
website, it is the number one place for people to
tell the
world something they have done, completely anonymously.
The
Flanagan World Guard has decided to take this concept
and apply it to the "Sport of the Arts".
After many years of producing shows that invoke the
audience's emotions, thoughts and feelings, they have
decided to take it to the next level. This year, the
floor design will be based on you, as an audience,
performer, or just someone who wants to let out something
bottled up.
Flanagan's
Color Guard Director, Dean Broadbent, comments "I
think this is an amazing opportunity for us to involve
the audience personally and really make them a part
of what we do." Until November 10th, the
Flanagan World Guard will be accepting your secrets
in order to make their floor and show design. Send
your secrets in now, all anonymously, and see if your
secret will show up at WGI to go down in history on
video, picture, and, above all, emotionally
as the first WGI fan-based floor. Please visit
the Flanagan Color Guard website

Although cliché, we are all
familiar with the phrase, “When life hands you
a lemon, make lemonade.” A problem shows up,
and you turn it around to make something positive.
Ashley Tetrault wasn’t just handed a lemon;
life tossed her a crate full of them. With faith,
determination, and love, she overcame more obstacles
than anyone should ever be faced with.
On June 6, 2006 after experiencing extreme flu-like
symptoms, her parents rushed Ashley to the hospital.
She was then diagnosed with Meningococcal Septicemia,
an infection of the blood by bacteria that naturally
live in the throat and back of the nose. The death
rate is 40% and 20% of survivors undergo major amputation.
Ashley was told that she had only eight hours to live.
Due to the amount of medication she was given, Ashley
doesn’t recall much about her stay in the hospital.
Fortunately, it was much longer than the initial allocation
of eight hours. (more...)
