Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”

Going the Distance
Freshman to Travel to Australia for Band Performance
June 5, 2018
Summers may be filled with trips to the pool and Netflix marathons, but freshman Will Lambert’s summer will pan out a bit differently. In July, Lambert will be flying for 19 hours with his tenor saxophone to Sydney, Australia to perform at the Sydney Opera House.
This is all possible because Manuel San Luis, his former band director, nominated him for the 2017 Middle School Performance Series. After Lambert submitted an audition, he got accepted into the program and performed at Carnegie Hall with other nationally recognized band students.
Having been accepted into the middle school program, Lambert was given the chance to audition for the 2018 High School Honor Performance Series and given the opportunity to perform in Sydney this summer. Over 12,000 high school students applied, but only 250 of them were selected- one of them was Lambert.
Lambert said that he is thankful to take part in both of these series.
“It’s really rewarding, you grow a lot, you learn a lot,” Lambert said. “I’m just really grateful to have these opportunities in the first place.”
He and the other students will be led by world-class conductors in Sydney, which Lambert said is one of the highlights of this opportunity.
“They bring up things that you have never thought of before,” Lambert said. “It’s a great way to learn.”
Lambert started off on the alto saxophone in sixth grade, but moved to the tenor sax in his seventh-grade year, which he still plays today.
He said that initially, he had little hope of getting into the program, however his family encouraged him throughout the audition process.
“Probably if it was not for family, I would not have tried out,” Lambert said. “I didn’t think I was going to make it, so it was kind of a shock.”
These performances had never been on Lambert’s plan, but he said that he is looking forward to his next big performance.
“I had no idea this would be happening,” Lambert said. “It’s a little overwhelming, but I’m really grateful and excited.”
