Brandon’s Entry #4

A Cappella club

1.

Exciting and new are just two words that accurately describe Regis Jesuit’s new A cappella club. The A cappella club is a musical club that involves singing without the use of any instruments. Students who have a passion for singing join this club in order to experience a less formal setting in which they can sing any of their favorite songs. For the A cappella club, creating a song becomes a unique experience. Students must use their vocals to not only sing lyrics, but also create different instrumental effects. The resulting sound is truly amazing. Founding junior, Jacob Weichert, says, “it is a great chance to casually sing some of your favorite songs off of your ipod or radio that you would not be able to sing in a choir setting.” Mrs. Wuertz, the club moderator, added, “It is a great chance for guys to do modern and contemporary music in a less formal setting”. Every wednesday at lunch, this club gets together to sing, be creative, and have fun.

3D animations club

1.

“We are the jocks of the nerds” says junior, Austin Fillipi. The 3D Animations club is a computer based club that is focused on designing, modeling, creating, and animating anything and everything graphic based on a computer. Vail Dorchester founded the club as a way to express his passion for 3D modeling on the computer and share it with others. Vail and a team of other upperclassmen lead the various activities while also providing a space to hang out and have fun. Club moderator Mr. Heidenry explains, “This club is a chance for guys to explore an aspect of computing that is not in our curriculum, but what is also cool is how many guys are in it and it is all run by students- by students for students...It is an opportunity for guys to learn and check out 3D modeling software, and just hang out. Guys who are interested in Computers, animation, game design, this is a home for them.” This club truly gives a feeling of fellowship to its members. At the 3D Animations club imagination, creativity, and fun are truly expressed in multiple dimensions.
