THAT’S A WRAP. Marching band finishes their season strong after competing in their final performance at Mason. Members spend a lot of time together, so oftentimes it is hard for seniors to move on past the 900 hours put towards band. However, they often always do and learn to replace all of that time with other things that brings them joy.

“Outside of actually paying golf, our team does a lot of weird things. The weirdness of the team exists while we play but it is extremely evident when we’re not playing. This can be seen in our team sleepovers, especially between the antics of Emma and Sydney, they can be seen wrestling, fighting, throwing food, and just being lovable goof balls!”

GO AVES GO. Senior cheerleader Kennedy Archer is cheering on the Aves during one of their last home games. “Stepping out on the track to cheer one last time was a decision I was happy I made. I stopped cheering when I got to high school, so I’ve missed the excitement of cheering. This has been an awesome season cheering with my teammates, one I will not forget,” Archer said.

AN ATHLETIC ASSET. While the box is substantially worn-down, it costs a great deal of money for a new one, and despite its condition it still offers great practice for players. This calls for players to both treat the box with respect and maintain responsibility within it’s quarters. “I think it would be better to just focus on the box we have now, I feel if we got a new one we would have the same amount of problems that we have now,” said Cullin O’shea, 12.

ALL BARK, NO BITE. Although it is highly frowned upon, even in professional leagues players still resort to the art of trash-talk. Some of the most iconic sports players in history like Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, and Sean Avery have even refrained from keeping the game totally clean. According to Shaquille O’ Neal, Jordan once told him exactly what he was going to do during the game and yet still pulled it off. "I'm coming down. I'm going to dribble it between my legs twice. I'm going to pump fake and then I'm going to shoot a jumper. And then I'm going to look at you," recited O’ Neal.

When is trash talking valid?

CONCENTRATE. Sophomore Arvind Prasad focuses on the board as time winds down. He is Board One and was his freshman year too, though team members are allowed to challenge each other to get a higher board number. “The seasons going pretty well. It’s crazy that this is my last year of chess because I’ve played it all four years of high school,” said Nandita Kulkarni, 12.

TOURNAMENT. Students will be able to play “Smash Bros” and “Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege” for the tournament. “Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege” will be played on Xbox while “Smash Bros” will be played on Wii U. “If we were to pull this off we would be informing hundreds of people that [SHS] is a place for gamers, and by saying that we would be saying it is for everyone,” said Sekani Cole, 10, captain of the “Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege” team.
