"You are a normal teenager. Everything in your life is going well - until one day, there is someone else in your head, someone else is sharing your body. And, suddenly, you realize that you have become an incredible musician. And, you have the urge to compose - but every time you go to sign your name on your latest peice, you sign F. Schubert. You attempt to ignore this new talent - you attempt to leave it alone but it isonly getting stronger. And, the man inside of you is getting stronger as well. The restless spirit of Franz Schubert decided to inhabit your body. He left before he could attend to all he had wanted, and now he is back to fix that. You have been posessed by Schubert and all he wants to do is finish his incomplete music!"

The donor, famous artist and alum, formerly known as Alimeg Carrie- Marie Eavis (“Acme”), class of 1927, has specified that 99.9% of her contribution be designated to the construction and interior design of a new art annex. (The other .1% will be used to build an outdoor shrine in her honor.)"
"Thanks to Acme’s charitable contribution, you now have the opportunity to give input regarding the design of an ideal art space. You will create a proposal and prototype for consideration, accounting for various structural elements—both practical and aesthetic."
Question: "With money as no concern, what would your ideal art classroom look like?"

"You are sitting at your table, doing your artwork in the art room - a typical day in art class. As you are working and talking with your friends, you notice someone or something strange out of the corner of your eye. You hear someone else in the class say, "Hey, what's that? What is going on?" You look up and see a girl coming in the art room, wearing a guerrilla mask, and carrying bananas and papers. The girl immediately hands out bananas to your classmates, and announces to the class that the Guerrilla Girls are officially protesting the art class."

"So often, choral students complain about the choices of music their conductors make when preparing for a concert. If you are a student, do you remember the last time you said, "This is stupid! I hate this music, I wish we were singing something else!" Well, Music Maker, here's your chance to make a change! Your conductor has fallen ill, and as the Assistant Conductor, you've been given the opportunity to research and find concert material in which to prepare the choir for its Spring Concert."
