During zero period jazz band, Gabrielle Clouard, Jess Vicuna, Zachary Taylor and Mr. Kris Harper reminisce about their band experiences in one of the final classes taught by Harper. Harper is leaving to teach in an elementary school music program, as part of the passing of Proposition 28 to reshape performing arts programs in public schools. After 18 years of service, Harper’s position is being filled by a new music teacher, leaving many students both with questions and thoughts about Harper’s impact. “From a band teacher to student, the teacher will still be there, but theres definitely a connection the students have [that] wont be the same with another teacher. I think students will have to help other students adjust and adapt to a new teacher,” Mansour Brame said. Photo by Emerson Kibby

Capturing the moment with her iPhone, Ms. Whitney Lum records teachers having a huddled to discuss their defense. Lum has an instagram, @graphicsmslum, where she puts the pictures and videos she records of sporting events. “Filming the charity staff game was fun – it was no different then filming regular basketball,” Lum said. “I was purely entertained. I got to give it to them because I would not go out there myself and do it, but the fact that they were out there giving it there all was awesome.” Photo by Reese Moracco
