Foothills Performing Arts is Black & Green

The Foothills Performing Arts 4-H Club began their fifth year of operation with a re-organizational meeting in September at the Foothills Composite High School. An executive was elected and new members were introduced to Blacklight Theatre.
Blacklight performances are in complete darkness, where people and objects that glow move to songs and even play while trying not to bump into things. We recently experimented with blacklight during our October Halloween party where we played many games in our costumes. Our members are enjoying many drama activities varying from 'Ninja to Sharkie', but our main focus is presently on improv.
Our club would like to thank you, our community, for helping us at our Bi-Annual Electronic Recycle Round Up that was held in October at Country Living. As a club, we collected TVs and computer equipment, as an environmental fundraiser; we raised over $500.00 which we are going to spend on costumes for our blacklight performances.
The Foothills Performing Arts 4-H Club showed their colours at the Corporate Partnership Appreciation Event on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011 in Crossfield, Alberta. Our club provided an incredible display which included videos playing of past Monologues and Achievement Days. The members and leaders all enjoyed speaking to the sponsors and learning more about the amazing past, present and future of 4-H.
In conclusion, the Foothills Performing Arts 4-H Club is having an amazing National 4-H month and will continue to show their green throughout the community in the month of November.
