Speaker 1: Good morning, Welcome, welcome, welcome. It's time now for our
Speaker 1: community connection right here on Game one, the one you across.
Speaker 1: We have Logan Young in with us today from Martinsville
Speaker 1: High School. Mad Week is going on.
Speaker 2: First of all, welcome, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Happy to be here. I'm happy to be anywhere. But
Speaker 1: Mad Week, that just sounds like you guys are just
Speaker 1: having fun. Yeah, fun in school? Come on, where does
Speaker 1: that come from? No?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know what is MAD Week? So?
Speaker 2: MAD week stands for make a Difference a week and
Speaker 2: pretty much it's our school's philanthropy week where we raise
Speaker 2: a bunch of money, do a fun events and such,
Speaker 2: and try to give as much money as we can
Speaker 2: to the charity of choice.
Speaker 1: So how do we do this? I know you're going
Speaker 1: mad trying to get it done. Yeah, but what are
Speaker 1: some of the things that are you know, the fun
Speaker 1: elements that kind of push the leverage to get the
Speaker 1: money to flow.
Speaker 2: So we're hosting a couple events at the high school.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: One is called art Line, which is basically an art
Speaker 2: show slash music performance at the Fine Arts Center. And
Speaker 2: so it's like a fee to get in and then
Speaker 2: once you're in you can purchase art from the art
Speaker 2: students which goes to the fundraiser, but it also will
Speaker 2: help out the art students there, so it's like a
Speaker 2: little commission for their art. And so that's one event,
Speaker 2: and then we're doing a talent show, which is another
Speaker 2: thing you can buy tickets to that go and watch
Speaker 2: some cool events. But other than that, there's like a
Speaker 2: QR code on the school's Facebook account. You can go
Speaker 2: and just donate however much you please to Fostering Success,
Speaker 2: which is the charity that we're doing this year.
Speaker 1: Fostering Success. Correct. Great, Well, you know that you find
Speaker 1: arts program out there at the school is great. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, youngest of seven is a senior this year
Speaker 1: and she's been with the theater you know, ever since
Speaker 1: we've been here, and we've been blessed to see a
Speaker 1: great deal many shows and we've also seen some musical
Speaker 1: presentations wells theatrical and artistic stuff too as well. So
Speaker 1: it all comes under that umbrella and it works out
Speaker 1: pretty darn well. You've got some great instructors there, you've
Speaker 1: got some great people to cheer you on, I know
Speaker 1: the parents do. So this is something worth making a
Speaker 1: monetary investment if you ask me.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, so that's yeah, that's pretty much what
Speaker 2: we're trying to get out of this is we know
Speaker 2: there's a big push for the fine arts group at
Speaker 2: our school, and the parents love it and the community
Speaker 2: loves it. So yeah, I mean, like you said, just
Speaker 2: really focusing in on that and trying to make some
Speaker 2: money out of it, get the charity.
Speaker 1: Get it going yeaheah, no kidding. So this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun now. I can tell you
Speaker 1: from the Talent show perspective, it can go one of
Speaker 1: two ways. It can be one of those things where
Speaker 1: everybody is just so fantastic you can't believe it, or
Speaker 1: there's a couple of funny ones in there that you
Speaker 1: just can't believe it. It's still worth the price of
Speaker 1: admission because you know, you're just you just don't know
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. It's the unknown exactly, And and
Speaker 1: I kind of prefer the latter, because you know, if
Speaker 1: it's everybody's stellar, it's like, wow, you know that was
Speaker 1: pretty cool. But if people are different, and sometimes you
Speaker 1: get kind of exposed to maybe something you've never seen
Speaker 1: or heard before, well, hey, there's a winner there too,
Speaker 1: you learn something. Oh yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So we had auditions last week right before school let
Speaker 2: out for the weekend, and there's some pretty cool acts.
Speaker 2: I mean, a lot of singers, some good pianists, some
Speaker 2: good stuff.
Speaker 1: Any sort swallowers this year, fire eat or stuff like that.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, we've got we've got a few comic acts.
Speaker 1: Yeah so you got some comedy. Oh yeah, yeah, that'd
Speaker 1: be good. Yeah. I'm excited to see what they put out.
Speaker 2: I mean, we hosted auditions, but you know, they could
Speaker 2: change it up for the final act, so we'll see
Speaker 2: what they come up with.
Speaker 1: Oh man, you know, like I said, that's really worth
Speaker 1: the price of admission. It doesn't matter which way goes,
Speaker 1: because the people on stage are having fun. They're just
Speaker 1: having fun, and the folks in the audience they paid
Speaker 1: to have fun. Great performance. Yeah yeah. Now with the
Speaker 1: r that's involved here, you can kind of take your
Speaker 1: time once you pay that little fee to get in
Speaker 1: and you can just really let it roll. You can
Speaker 1: really take your time in there and appreciate everything that's
Speaker 1: being presented, and if you appreciate it enough, you can
Speaker 1: actually buy it correct take it home with you. Yep,
Speaker 1: give it a new place to hang out exactly.
Speaker 2: So there will be complimentary snacks and drinks. I mean
Speaker 2: you can really treat this like it's an art fair
Speaker 2: and go and just hang out, check out some art,
Speaker 2: talk to the artists, purchase there are in Like I said,
Speaker 2: some of the music students will be involved. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: playing solos as sort of like background music, and so
Speaker 2: you can go over there and sit and watch them
Speaker 2: do their thing as well. Unfortunately you can't buy their
Speaker 2: solo but you know, you can still watch and have fun.
Speaker 1: Don't tell them but on Spotify because will never get paid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just me but digging. But this is gonna be great.
Speaker 1: When are the dates for all this?
Speaker 2: So Art Laza is March thirteenth, from six thirty to
Speaker 2: eight pm and the Fine Art Center Lobby. I believe
Speaker 2: it's I believe it's a five to ten dollars admission fee.
Speaker 2: Kids under a certain age get in free. I'm not
Speaker 2: exactly sure what age that is, but it'll be at
Speaker 2: the desk when you get there. Sure, and then as
Speaker 2: far as art prices go, that kind of varies. But
Speaker 2: the talent show will be Wednesday. I think it's next week, Yes,
Speaker 2: next week, windy day. Yeah, during school hours. I think
Speaker 2: it's during advisory, so that'll be like nine thirty to
Speaker 2: ten thirty or so. But other than that, Yeah, and
Speaker 2: the the what's it called QR code you can just
Speaker 2: donate to that whenever.
Speaker 1: So well, that's great because if you go where can
Speaker 1: we find the QR code?
Speaker 2: Again, it is on the Barnesville High School website, I believe,
Speaker 2: and also if you follow the Bartzel Stutcho pages on
Speaker 2: social media, they are posting it everywhere as well.
Speaker 1: So good. So you can just do that little scan
Speaker 1: thing and then put in the daughter amount that you wish, yes, exactly,
Speaker 1: and your you've supported mad week exactly for this year. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: got to come back next year? Do this?
Speaker 2: Yep, every year every year gets mad.
Speaker 1: Well. It's supposed to be a good thing, and it
Speaker 1: will be a good it'd be a great thing too, now, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was talking to you, Logan Logan Young is with
Speaker 1: us here from the high school. What's after high school
Speaker 1: for you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to OU and study air traffic control.
Speaker 2: I'm really excited. Should be fun times. I'm also looking
Speaker 2: to join the band maybe while I'm there.
Speaker 1: What interesting me do you play.
Speaker 2: I'm in percussion, so I play snare, Yes, exactly my favorite.
Speaker 1: I played the drum set.
Speaker 2: But during marching band, I play snare drum and we
Speaker 2: have a fun time out there.
Speaker 1: So that's good. That's good, you know. But when I
Speaker 1: was growing up in the nineteen seventies, uh, everything was
Speaker 1: was pretty much you know, standard as far as the
Speaker 1: band was concerned. Yeah. However, because I went to a
Speaker 1: small school, it took five towns to put our school together,
Speaker 1: and I had a graduating class of one hundred. It's
Speaker 1: still to this day was the biggest. So I'm telling
Speaker 1: you this is sparsely popularly, but we would go to
Speaker 1: larger communities like say a Bartlesville or maybe even a
Speaker 1: Tulsa to play sports. And even though we knew we
Speaker 1: were gonna get our heads handed to us, the other
Speaker 1: schools bands were just like way cool. They all of
Speaker 1: a sudden started doing things like what do you call
Speaker 1: this thing called a drum line? Yeah? Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was like what, wow, you know, that's something else. And
Speaker 1: you know, I started figuring that, you know, maybe I
Speaker 1: was in the wrong field. Maybe I'll be hanging out
Speaker 1: with those kids to getting crushed by some big guys,
Speaker 1: that's twice my size. But anyway, you know, I realized
Speaker 1: that that paid off big dividends because you get exposed
Speaker 1: to different types of music, and you get exposed to
Speaker 1: just a whole lot of different things, and you know
Speaker 1: it's good for you to stretch the brain. Yeah, it is,
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they're getting pretty theatrical with it nowadays.
Speaker 1: I mean they are.
Speaker 2: It's not it's not just your normal like drill that
Speaker 2: you used to see. It's they're gonna have props out there.
Speaker 2: I mean, storylines even to the show. It's pretty crazy
Speaker 2: now when you're concentrating. I mean you're counting, You're you're counting.
Speaker 2: Everybody's following your account. You got you can't get.
Speaker 1: Distracted, No, no, you get distracted. Everything is like it's
Speaker 1: like the car got a flat tire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of falls apart there. So yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a lot of teamwork. We stay focused though, So it's good.
Speaker 1: Now, do you miss those days where you're out there
Speaker 1: at the crack at nne you know, getting then waiting
Speaker 1: for the heat to come up, just just mug you.
Speaker 2: No, No, not, I don't really miss them that much,
Speaker 2: especially in the cold of winter.
Speaker 1: You know you don't like those.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, early morning practices were not too fun.
Speaker 1: No. Did you ever go out in the hot, hot
Speaker 1: heat during football season to get a field for the
Speaker 1: field or did you guys do the inside stuff?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we had band camp late July into
Speaker 2: early August to just prepare and yeah, I mean I
Speaker 2: think we had a couple high nineties practices and out
Speaker 2: there in the sun. We were out there for three
Speaker 2: or four hours.
Speaker 1: But people give the band a hard time. I'm here
Speaker 1: to tell you you guys can sweat five pounds off water. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no time. Oh yeah, good gravy, so good lucky. How
Speaker 1: do you audition for the band when you go?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they've got a few different ways. Now. You
Speaker 2: can do virtual auditions, which is submitting a video of
Speaker 2: yourself playing through the music, or you can go to
Speaker 2: OU and actually audition in person on their audition day.
Speaker 2: And I think I'm gonna go in person to audition. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm sure it does. Yeah, but you know you exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so hopefully it goes well. I mean, I'm trying to
Speaker 2: learn my music. It's pretty hard, but I think it's
Speaker 2: going to go.
Speaker 1: It'll be good. Watch the syncopation. Okay, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: and once again Mad Week is next week. We've got
Speaker 1: the art show coming up on the thirteenth, thirteenth. That's
Speaker 1: your lucky day, folks, because there's music involved and there's
Speaker 1: all kinds of art, and you can take them the art.
Speaker 1: Can't take them to the music. The moms and dads
Speaker 1: want their kids back, so you know, they got to
Speaker 1: stay they get the music, got to stay there. But
Speaker 1: the works of art you can take home. And then
Speaker 1: you've got the talent show coming up from like nine
Speaker 1: to ten coming up on next Wednesday, right, yes, right,
Speaker 1: correct to school? Can you buy tickets for that? Or
Speaker 1: is just school just showing up that you I.
Speaker 2: Think it's mostly the school just showing up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's gonna be hilarious. Yeah, it'll be good.
Speaker 1: That'll be great. And once again, where can we find
Speaker 1: the QR codes if we want to donate for this
Speaker 1: week of philanthropy through through Mad Week?
Speaker 2: Yes, so they should be on the school website, the
Speaker 2: BHS website, and it should also be on the bartzolstu
