I also loved playing volleyball against staff and faculty members as well. So much fun!

Whether it was me working with clay or painting one of my favorite projects which was an octopus that got sold in art auction. When it comes to the music and theater program at Brandon Hall I would have to say it is absolutely incredible. Between the one act plays to watching one of my favorite musicals footloose. It was something I look forward to watching.
