\u201cBISS ON THE ROAD\u201d is in full steam at BISS this week for the secondary students. Judy hasn\u2019t been meeting the 6th<\/sup> grade classes, so she has a lot of prep time to get organized for the busy holiday season of performances that always arrive earlier than expected.<\/p>\n

Today is the \u201cClub Fair\u201d day at BHSFIC. I spend the morning working around the apartment. I taxi over to my haircut appointment at 1:00 (it\u2019s been about 5 weeks, and I was getting shaggy). After the haircut, I taxied to school, arriving about 3:15. The Club Fair started at 4:00, so I have plenty of time to get my bearings. I really don\u2019t have much to do except attend and let the students see me. I\u2019ve got my clarinet, and I sit at our table, but the students run the fair. The president of the Orchestra Club has created a power point running on a projector.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an activity to recruit students for the various clubs at BHSFIC. The students set-up tables around the auditorium\/multi-purpose room with signs, posters, projectors, and anything else they think will entice other students to be a part of their club. I\u2019m in charge of the \u201cOrchestra Club\u201d, and the \u201cBand Club\u201d (they think it\u2019s rock band club, I think it\u2019s a guitar club). There is also a club for composers (\u201cCloud Nine\u201d), and a club for musicians wanting a music theory approach (\u201cPhilharmonic Club\u201d). I don\u2019t know who the sponsor is for the \u201cPhilharmonic Club\u201d. I was asked to be in charge of \u201cCloud Nine\u201d, but told them I didn\u2019t know when we could meet (I\u2019m only on campus 2 days a week).<\/p>\n

There is tons of activity in the room and the students are really excited about their groups. It\u2019s also important to them to have several clubs they can add to their college \u201cresume\u201d. \u00a0Most of the staff believe there are too many clubs, and the students would be better served with more dedication and focus on fewer activities.<\/p>\n
