Hi, I’m Anna Bea. I am a senior, and this is my first year on the Dispatch team. I have been a part of the Bowie yearbook before, but I am super excited to venture into this new world of journalism. I have always enjoyed photography, and I also enjoy spending my free time with my friends. My friends and I love to go shopping, make Tik Toks together, and go on new adventures as well. I am also in the Ready, Set, Teach! program at Bowie, and I hope to become an elementary school teacher in the near future. I am so excited for this new opportunity and can’t to see what the Dispatch does this year!

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION: During a dress rehearsal run, senior Colette Waid reviews the lighting design before the actors begin performing on stage. Waid was cast as the lighting designer for this year’s musical and has worked in tech lighting roles since their freshman year. “I feel like, in lights, you get the most creative freedom,” Waid said. “I’m sure a lot of people think that you just sit there, you design it, and then it’s done, but it’s a lot of waiting and communicating with others. It’s a lot more than designing, it’s a lot of pre-planning.

CRY YOUR HEART OUT: With hand on heart, Jadon Demetri cries out as his character, Toad, is overwhelmed with emotion. Demetri starred in The Wind in the Willows, and his character’s obsession with cars led he and his friends to get into trouble. “I think we had very good comedy,” Demetri said. “Everyone was really good at hitting the jokes, and it seemed pretty clear as to what was going on. I personally think I could’ve picked up lines faster to have less pause in between them.”

ALL SMILES: Keira Folkers plays with one of her two Great Danes, Parker and Duncan. They were adopted together, as they are brothers from the same litter. “We picked Duncan and Parker for their names because my dad at first didn’t want to get dogs, and the only way we could get these dogs is if he got to name them,” Folkers said. “My dad is a huge Spurs fan so my dad picked those names after Tim Duncan and Tony Parker.”

IN FOCUS: Aussie Lura paints on a feeder school student’s face. Lura is one of the vice presidents for the Starlight Theater Company. “I think the main thing that could have made Bulldogs and Hotdogs better was something out of our control: the wind,” Lura said. “Overall, it went smoothly, and we efficiently led people through hairspray and face paint.”
