Junior Kat Gorlenko reads the last announcement before signing off. “The way you speak over the announcements can change a lot of people’s days, and how they feel, just through how you’re saying it,” Gorlenko said. “The emotions, the inflection, the energy — you don’t have your body or your face to show any of that. It’s just your voice," Gorlenko said.

Students gather onstage after a break to perform in groups for the show’s dance audition. Students were chatting, stretching and rehearsing the dance to the audition song: “Topsy Turvy”. Producer Emily Mayo and stage manager Ananya Malhotra gave each student a numbered tag; this way, directors were able to call students up for auditions in a more organized and efficient manner. Despite some technical difficulties with the number tag system, the dance audition ran smoothly.
