HOLLY, Michigan – Twenty seven Holly High School band students participated in the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association District 3 Solo and Ensemble Festival on Saturday, Feb. 20 at Imlay City High School.

Director of Bands William Deal said all students performed as either soloists or members of ensembles, and had been practicing diligently over the past few weeks in preparation for the event. “All of the students performed at a level that earned them a medal, and those students who received a Division I rating qualified to attend the MSBOA State Solo and Ensemble Festival next month,” Deal said.

Students who participated in the district festival include, Max Allen, Colin Biezard, Julia Bovee, Sam Boyhtari, Ashley Brendel, Abby Darnell, Robert Dillenbeck, Mitchell Drake, Amber Feltrin, Nicole Feltrin, Kaytlin Glover, Larry Hilbert, Travis Kerton, Sarah Lauinger, Andrea Lewellen, Nicole Longrie, Joe McDonnell, Spencer McKay, Kayla Mills, Katjana Nagel, Eric Parker, Heather Russik, Justin Snyder, Justin Thorington, Kelsi Trest, Beth Williams, and Lindzy Worthington.

Deal said he is extremely proud of all of the students, and looks forward to March when many of the students decide to push their musicianship further by participating at the State Solo and Ensemble festival on March 27.

HOLLY, Michigan – Holly High School theatre students will present Shakespeare’s comedy, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” later this month at the HHS Performing Arts Center, 6161 E. Holly Road, Holly.

The comedy portrays the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors, their interactions with the Duke of Athens, Theseus, The Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta, and with the fairies who inhibit a moonlit forest. The play is one of Shakespeare’s most popular works for the stage and was first performed by Holly theatre students in the mid-1980s.

Co-Director Joe Mishler said the cast includes HHS students Jack Cotaling, Gabrielle Disbrow, Ryan Cemazar, Cody Petzold, Kortnee Henski, Rick Remesz, Leanne Ma, Kaylee Towne, Alyssa Green, Josh Ray, Justin Tomlin and a host of others including students from the Holly area middle and elementary schools.

Mishler said Karen Bicknell is also directing the play, and that Cliff Bicknell is responsible for building the set, while Porter Sanford is serving as the lighting and sound director.

Performances are slated for 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 20, with 7:30 p.m. performances repeated on Feb. 25 and 27. Tickets are $5 for adults, $4 for students and seniors. Matinee admission is $4 for all. For reservations or more information, call (248) 328-3200, ext. 5325.

HOLLY, Michigan – It sounded just like any other championship basketball game from outside of the gymnasium doors, but inside it was quite a different story. With brightly painted faces and pom poms thrust high into the air, students from 19 Oakland County high schools cheered as they watched their classmates put their respective “robogladiators” to the test, going head to head in a game called “Bot Basketball.”

On Saturday, the Holly High School Robotics Team and 18 other teams from Oakland County took part in the last competition of the year, the Oakland County Competitive Robotics Association Championship – a full contact game of basketball played with 120- pound robogladiators.

OCCRA promotes excitement for technical and academic disciplines such as design, engineering, physics and electronics. The competition recognizes and encourages all students who sacrifice all their free time to this area of study.

Holly High School robotic students combine with students from Brandon High School to make up Team 43 – a team known for its competitive spirit, outstanding sportsmanship conduct, and hard-working members.

HOLLY, Michigan – After months of rehearsals, more than 40 Holly Area School students take the stage this weekend for a musical production of Walt Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” In addition to the cast, another 40 students make up the pit orchestra, technical crew and stage hands.

Great entertainment for the whole family, “Beauty and the Beast” tells the story of Belle, a girl who is dissatisfied with life in a small provincial French town, and forever trying to fend off the misplaced affections of arrogant Gaston. The Beast is a prince who was placed under a spell because he could not love. A wrong move by Belle’s father causes Belle and the Beast to meet.

Performances take place at the Holly High School auditorium, 6161 E. Holly Road on Friday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2 and 7:30 p.m.  Tickets are $8 for adults, $4 for students/children, and $5 for senior citizens (matinee only.)

Businesses sought for Holly High School job shadow program Print
Written by Administrator   
Tuesday, October 27 2009 1:30 pm


HOLLY, Michigan – Karen Logan, career center coordinator for Holly High School is looking for someone in the following areas that might be willing to allow a student to "shadow" them for the day.

Logan recommends that it be a “typical day in the life” workday and that students are able to spend the entire school day at the business. “Basically they follow you around so they get a better understanding of what the particular career entails so they can decide if it’s something they might like to eventually do,” she said.

The following are some careers that students have expressed interest: a restaurant owner (preferably not a chain); business with art; fitness instructor/dietician; photographer; interpreter; massage therapist and graphic artist/illustrator.

“If you know of anyone or operate a business that might fit one of these areas, please contact me to arrange a job shadow,” said Logan. “Thank you for your time and commitment to our program. I truly appreciate all the local resources available to our students.

“If a particular career is not on the list, please contact me if you would like to be added in case something comes up with another student interested in your field of expertise,” she added.

Logan can be reached at (248) 328-3240 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
