Patriots Succeed at Drama Competition
From Mr. Meinecke:
Theatre students spent two days at St. Petersburg College (Clearwater Campus) (one-act plays) and all day Saturday until 10:00 p.m. at Gibbs (PCCA) High School (individual events) for the annual District 4 competition. Only one student, President Jarius Hamid, had previous experience competing at the county level—all other students were new to the process.
I am very proud of their accomplishments as newcomers—District 4 is a very competitive collection of public and private schools, so the competition is quite stiff as compared to some other Florida counties. Our ratings are very similar to the Marzano scale: Superior, Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor are used instead of 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
- One Act Play: Boy Meets Girl – Superior and given alternate status for State Competition (kind of like first-runner up J ).
