Calling all students! Do you want to help plan prom? Applications for the prom board are now open to freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors! Come by Mrs. Royster’s room VA 102, anytime, to pick up an application. Let’s start planning next year’s unforgettable prom together! (If you already picked up and completed an application at the end of the last school year, you do not need to resubmit.)
Every year, WBIR hosts food drive competitions between rival 黄瓜视频. Oak Ridge High School will be competing against Clinton High School next week but we can collect food before then!

Tables are set up in the lobby for donations.
Masquers has three opportunities for you:
First, buy a ticket and plan to come see ORHS Masquers present The Giver by Eric Coble, a powerful stage adaptation of Lois Lowry’s acclaimed novel. Set in a seemingly perfect society without pain, war, or emotion, 12-year-old Jonas uncovers the truth behind his world’s manufactured harmony and must decide whether to accept the status quo or risk everything for freedom and authenticity. $8 pre-sale tickets are now on sale through our cast and crew or online at orhsmasquers.booktix.com
Second, are you a photographer or interested in photography? If so, then Masquers is the place for you! We are looking for photographers of any skill level to take pictures for our shows this season. If you are interested, please contact us at masquers@ortn.edu.
Finally, if you are looking for a performance opportunity, Masquers is sponsoring a Musical Theater Audition Workshop on Friday, September 5, right after school in the Auditorium for anyone interested in auditioning for the Masquers Fall Showcase. This showcase features soloists, instrumentalists, and small and large group musical theatre numbers. Bring any musical theatre song you are interested in performing for the Showcase and come prepared with around 32 measures (about a verse and a chorus, 2 verses, something like that). Our music director, Amy Brock, will be there to work with as many of you as she can and give general advice to all. We will not have an accompanist for the workshop, so try to find a karaoke version to sing with. Scan the QR codes on the Masquers Office window to join our communication groups or email masquers@ortn.edu with questions.
