Karaoke Club
The word karaoke is derived from two Japanese words 'kara' comes from the word 'karappo' meaning empty or void and 'oke' comes from the word 'okesutura' or orchestra.
Every other week, during high school club rotation, students in Mr. Andy Clinton’s karaoke club belt out their favorite tunes. Students choose songs from any genre, often crossing the generational divide. This week, songs from the 1980s, 1990s, and a tune from a 2019 Grammy nominee were sung. We even witnessed a stirring rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.
High school clubs meet on a rotating schedule during advisory time. Each semester, students can participate in two clubs that meet during the school day in addition to after school extracurriculars.
“Karaoke club was made by Mr. Clinton this year. Everyone is always smiling and happy. It is fun to see people get up and sing and show their talent that we had no idea they had. Clubs are a good way to bring people together and to try new things.”
