Over the weekend, East hosted a chess tournament. Several East students competed and East took home the Madison Cup, a soon-to-be travelling trophy for MMSD high schools. Congratulations to TJ Tjardes, Ellis Duffy, Freddie Grimm, and Jack Ellinger, and a special shout out to Mr. Jossart for helping organize the event.

In this week's episode:

The Eastside Players advanced to the State level of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Speech and Dramatic Arts Festival which took place this past weekend. ESP took their production of Snappy's Happy Half-Hour to UW-Green Bay, and the students and the production received the following awards:

"I am so proud of how these students committed to this production and the process, and their work was appropriately recognized (although I am certainly biased) by 4 adjudicators from Universities and the professional theatre community," said Producer and Director, Paul Milisch, East Theatre teacher.

Over the last couple of weeks, students from feeder middle schools have come to visit East to experience our music programs. They learned about opportunities such as band, choir, orchestra, and more. They have been incredibly fun and rich musical experiences. 

East's Cypher recently had two awesome performances at MYArts & Kirk Stone's Family Counseling Clinic. Cypher is open to being booked for performances out in the community as background music or as featured groups. Contact Mr. H-S if you have ideas!
