Arts High School 11/01/2007

I left Montclair University at 10 am and I arrived at Arts High School at 10:40 am. I was early so I sat in my car until 11 am than I went inside. I was met by the principal of the school and at that time she did not introduce her self as the principal and she did not tell me her name. Just to have a seat here in the office. Later I found that to be kind of rude that I had to guess that she was the principal. I was the first one there from MSU. Slowly as the faces from my class became familiar I was asked to go into another room so I followed a MSU student who introduced herself and said she was doing her student teaching here and she loved it.
When I sat in the auditorium the choir was practicing. I love singing and I minored in voice at my other University years ago. I found that this High school group was there advanced group. I found this out when I introduced myself to the lead director. His group was wonderful and the students sounded really professional ,singing in odd meters. For high school students that is hard to pull off. So I complement them and there talented staff at the school and the students.
Now, at 11:45 we started the Q&A part before the tour of the school. Many questions were asked by the students and also I had a few questions. Overall In the notes I took I was very satisfied and I feel I covered all that I need to know about Arts High School from my questions and questions other students asked. I was also pleased to see my old friend of 29 years Dennis Argul. He teaches Band and Brass classes, and he has been there for years. My overall view of this day at Arts High School was one I am glad I was a part of. Thank you RL peace
