Baltimore School for the Arts

Jonathan

JUNIOR THEATRE
WhenI think of the BSA, I think of the diversity among the students, the love and respect between the staff and the students and the opportunity to receive a top notch academic and arts lessons.
Iplan on attending a college that has a strong arts program, preferably NYU, Juilliard, Carnegie Melon or Yale where I will major in theatre. I hope to perform on Broadway in musicals and then would love to venture into television and film.

Jena

SENIOR MUSIC - CLARINET
I

really think the close interaction of the students with the faculty is what makes the BSA unique - everybody knows each other
I

hope to attend the top three conservatories of my choice and receive my doctoral degree in music education along with my master's degree in musicology. While doing this, I hope to write a couple of compositions and play in a couple of orchestras.

SENIOR THEATRE
Ilove the freedom that is part of the BSA. It's like walking around a college campus. The teachers take a lot of time just for you -that makes it very special for me.
Iwant to go to a biblical university (either Philadelphia Biblical College or Messiah College) and get a masters in divinity and go into television ministry. Then I would like to go to school for a degree in mortuary science.

Megan

SENIOR DANCE
Everyday

I am surrounded by a variety of people, each one of them talented and each one different from the next.
To

become a medical doctor or a professional dancer and choreographer.

Genna

JUNIOR MUSIC-VIOLIN
The

BSA has such a variety, diversity of people and such resources, connections and exposure to music and all the arts.
I

love arts of all kinds. If my future doesn't include some type of art, I think I will suffocate. Along with music, I am into theatre and whether or not both will remain hobbies I'm not sure. My plan is to go to college and see where it takes me. My dream is to be an actress, violinist and scientist-I know I'll end up choosing one or two, but I am not worried yet.

Dante

SENIOR THEATRE PRODUCTION
I

wake up every morning looking forward to the diverse environment and creative world the BSA offers to its students. I always feel comfortable and happy when I am in school.
After

school I plan to go to design school. My choices are FIT, Parsons, VCU and San Francisco Academy of Art. After college, I would like to work for major fashion designer. I would also like to be a costume designer for smaller productions, eventually moving to Broadway.

Hillary

SENIOR VISUAL ARTS
It's

the only school in Baltimore where I can take four arts classes everyday. It hopefully will prepare me for the art college of my choice.
I

hope to go to college, hopefully MICA, Boston Museum School or the Corcoran.

Chris

SENIOR MUSIC-GUITAR
Wherever

I go in my musical journey, I find that the training that I have received from the Baltimore School for the Arts keeps me one step ahead of the game.
I

plan to apply to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Eastman School of music in Rochester, New York and the Peabody Institute in Baltimore. Depending on the financing I receive, I will major in either jazz or classical guitar.
