Blair band and orchestra patrons are making music
By Alexander Gold | Feb. 18, 2005, midnight | In Print »
Wherever the band goes, they're there. If the Marching Band goes to perform on "It's Academic," they drive along. If the Honors Jazz Band, Orchestra and Marching Band recruit students at middle schools for next year, they come. If the instrumental music program has a concert, they sponsor a bake sale in the lobby. "They" are the Blair Band and Orchestra Patrons (BBOPs), and they're not superheroes, just committed parents.

Without a "Hitch"
By Nick Falgout | Feb. 17, 2005, midnight | In Print »
It's official: Will Smith can do anything. Quick addendum: Will Smith can do anything,assuming "anything” refers to playing cocky characters in highly entertaining films. Smith has always been good for a snarky line here, a goofy grin there. He doesn't disappoint in his romantic comedy debut, the light and witty "Hitch."
Halle Berry
By Fidan Karimova | Feb. 17, 2005, midnight | In Print »
Halle Berry, who was named after the department store Halle Brothers, was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on Aug. 14, 1968. Her father left her family when Berry was just four years old, so she and her sister, Heidi, were raised by their mother, Judith, in a one-parent household. Later, the family moved into a suburban area dominated by Caucasians. In the new neighborhood, children started teasing Berry and her sister because of their skin color. Determined to overcome the racial issue, Berry became more involved in school as a cheerleader, Prom Queen and member of the National Honors Society.
