Fall 2008 Programs
Documentary Film Class: Work with the Montana Film Academy to
produce a professional quality documentary. This group meets
Mondays and Wednesdays after school at the Roxy Theatre starting
November 3rd. Another filmmaking option for
students is to become certified to use the equipment at Missoula
Community Access Television. Students who have pursued this option
in the past now have shows airing on MCAT (Bresnan Cable Channel 7).
Trading Cards: This group acts as mentors to students from
Franklin Elementary. They meet once a month to participate in fun
activities both at Big Sky and off campus. The first meeting
with Franklin will be October 30th.
Music Club: If you want to talk about music or trade music with
other fans of rock, show up at this club on Wednesdays during
lunch in Room 32. This group will also record a monthly podcast
giving their music recommendations to Big Sky and the rest of the
world.
Respect Club: This group organizes Big Sky’s Diversity Week and
also volunteers their time with local agencies and organizations.

Hop Dance: This group will learn the basics of hip hop dance
and depending on the motivation of the group, stage a public
performance. Taught by Chris Coburn of On Center Dance Studio.
Tuesdays after school starting November 4th.
National Coalition Building Institute Leadership Group: This
group is currently conducting prejudice and violence prevention
workshops with the freshman class at Big Sky. They have completed a
three day training course and will work with all the freshmen at Big
Sky to promote tolerance in our school.
Connections Crew: This group of student leaders plans and
executes Big Sky’s 8th grade visitation in the spring as
well as the Freshman Orientation. If interested in helping out,
please contact the Flagship Office.
Music Recording: Last year was the first year of music
recording at Big Sky and it produced a full length album by Big
Sky’s masters of metal, Helliana. This year we will attempt to
record another album but the focus will be on collaboration between
a variety of musicians. This group will meet for the first time on
Thursday, October 9th during lunch in the Flagship
Office. After school recording will take place on Wednesdays.
Rock
Guitar: This class is for intermediate level guitar players and
is taught by Rick “Shredder” Robbins, a Big Sky alum and one of the
best metal guitarists in Missoula. Meets in Room 92 after school
on Thursdays.
Community Volunteering: Flagship will present numerous
opportunities for students to volunteer their time during the school
year. We have already volunteered for the Missoula AIDS Council as
ushers at the opening of the AIDS Quilt Project at the University of
Montana. The next opportunity to volunteer will be on October 14th
with Forward Montana, a group that will canvas Missoula to
offer non-partisan information to voters prior to the national
election. We are also scheduled to volunteer at the Missoula
Food Bank on the day before Thanksgiving, one of the Food Bank’s
busiest days of the year.
First Night Idol: If you are a singer/rapper/performer and
would like a shot at displaying your talent at the Wilma Theatre,
please sign up to compete in Big Sky’s preliminary competition which
will be held after school on December 9th at Big
Sky. You can sing any song, original or cover and vie to represent
Big Sky o n New Years Eve in front of a thousand people during the
First Night celebration.
Silvah Chalice:
This game was invented by students at Big Sky and continues to
entertain the masses. Many people are asking, when is the next
Silvah Chalice tournament? Flagship will be sponsoring a
Christmas tournament December 15-19th. Win a Silvah
Chalice t-shirt if you ‘chalice’ in tournament competition.
