Girls Varsity Softball Opener

Hey frienders,

Dee and Mads here! The girls varsity softball team has the honor of playing their home opener on Sawyer Field. Sawyer Field you are wondering? YES! A turf field because ours is underwater and there are fishes swimming in the puddles currently in our outfield. But the Athletic Department has given us the privilege to play the first ever Williston Softball game on Sawyer. So we would love for our Wildcat fans to come on down Friday @ 4:45 and support the WGVS team! Hopefully the weather is great and you can enjoy the first ball game of the spring right down on SAWYER FIELD!! If you’re wondering or are confused by any means we said SAWYER FIELD. Thank you so much! See you at Sawyer Field on Friday @ 4:45!

XoXo,

Not gossip girl but Dee and Mads

Nile Project on April 6 and 7

2015 Wolfe nileprojectThe Nile Project Artist Residency came to the Dodge Room in Reed Campus Center on Monday, April 6, from 1:40 pm – 3:10 p.m. to share their music and work with students.

According to their website, the Nile Project unites artists from 11 countries along the Nile basin (Ethiopia, Egypt, Sudan, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, and beyond) to create one unified sound. The music is produced by a variety of instruments, including the masenko from Ethiopia, the ney and oud from Egypt, and the adungu from Uganda, in addition to violin, saxophone, bass guitar, and vocalists singing in all 11 languages.

The on-campus field trip was required for students who are enrolled in Wind Ensemble and String Ensemble and was arranged by faculty members Kim Evelti and Ben Demerath.

On Tuesday, April 7, from 6:30-10:30 p.m., students enrolled in World Civilization, String & Wind Ensemble, and American Music Roots will head to the Fine Arts Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst for a performance by the Nile Project. 

Mr. Demerath noted that the Nile River has been “the cause for concern and conflict due to political change and population increases in the countries along its banks. The Nile Project performance [has] a goal to use music to open up dialogues and address these concerns.”
