46 Conference Drama Competition

The high schools of Galax and Patrick Henry are moving on to Regionals! The annual high school drama competition, the first 46 Conference competition since the realignment, was held on Saturday, November 2, 2013. The plays being performed were “The Drift” by Chilhowie High School, “The Anthem” by Galax High School, “10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse” by George Wythe High School, “School Spirit” by Rural Retreat High School, and “How to Succeed in High School Without Really Trying” by Patrick Henry High School.

Winning first place was Galax with the runner-up being Patrick Henry. Most spectators were amazed, however. Though all schools performed very well, the common prediction was George Wythe placing over Galax. The students watching seemed to struggle with understanding the storyline of this school’s play, while George Wythe’s and Patrick Henry’s were very obvious and drew many laughs. The placing went as follows:

1. Galax- “The Anthem”

2. Patrick Henry- “How to Succeed in High School Without Really Trying”

3. George Wythe- “10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse”

4. Chilhowie- “The Drift”

5. Rural Retreat- “School Spirit”
