Mr. Vitale here... (one of the teachers from Charlotte). It's funny how such a small distance in miles translates into a world of difference. Yesterday we visited the Currituk County High School and saw where the students of coastal North Carolina met. (I say met as there is but a single high school for the entire county and students have to travel as far as an hour in different directions to attend, some by water, some by land.- Paul Revere would have been overwhelmed) The band was impressive and very friendly, allowing us to move about photograhping them as they practiced. Based on student comments, I fear the band's efforts were more successful than the football team's, but win-loss records tend to run in cycles anyway. They'll be back. The school was beautiful and the local teachers made us feel quite welcome in a way the graveyard in the front of the building did not.
Fortunately, we had an opportunity to share our photographic compositions and our students were intruiged by the photos of local students. Charlotte is an inland city so the beach and water themes caught their attention. Today, we are hoping to visit a historic lighthouse and my sincere hope is that nobody drowns getting the "perfect" picture. Thanks to all those who made the trip possible.
