Welcome to the 12th episode of WAB Podcast Season 5! This episode was brought to you by the High School Art Amplifier Club. In this episode, student host Myriam from Grade 10 has invited three representatives to share their APAC Arts experience: Grade 11 student Hannah for dance, Grade 9 student Liam for choir, and Grade 12 student Jeremy for orchestra.   

When discussing APAC festival highlights and personal growth, Jeremy reflected that working with visiting conductor Professor Mark Gibson was an inspiring collaboration, which fostered a "valuable mentor-musician relationship" for the students. Having been in WAB for 15 years, and playing violin since first grade, Jeremy shared his journey from the Beginner Strings Ensemble in Elementary school to performing in the APAC Orchestra, emphasizing the joy that music brings to his life.  

Grade 9 student Liam highlighted his excitement as a first-time participant in the APAC Choir festival in South Korea and shared how important teamwork is to create harmonious music. He noted how choir fostered a sense of community through shared musical experiences and provided a valuable chance to collaborate with people from different schools.  

Hannah introduced her journey in APAC Dance, where she and her peers choreographed a piece and engaged in workshops that pushed their creative boundaries. She also reflected on the difficulty of merging diverse dance styles into a cohesive performance and shared her memorable moment of experiencing both performer and audience roles, fostering a deep appreciation and bonding with other APAC participants. 

Thank you to our student host Miriam who led this podcast, and to the three student representatives for sharing their APAC journey. If you want to learn more about student activities and how student artists thrive at WAB, tune into this episode.
