Finally, there's one last video to show:
It is made from one final rummaging through the archives of old footage
of Tracks TV shows and Tracks DVD's.
All the images and sound for this new montage
appeared at some point
before the schoolwide TV audience.
But none of it is just a rerun of material anywhere else on this site except for one quote*.
There will be teams and clubs and classes not shown specifically
on earlier pages which will still be left out here.
There is voice-over added from the perspective of a teacher there at the school's origin in 1992.
It's all one last ditch effort to say simply,
"It's a Great Day to Be a Wolverine!"*
Final Words
Yes, this video grab bag is on the long side at 10:20, so an overall outline is given for viewers that might want to just sample. This is in three parts:
1) Sports Tradition, with the 2001 and 2009 soccer champions and Jason;
2) Auditorium treats with Agoo, New Orleans Jazz, Andes Manta,
Willy Wonka and other drama;
3) Curriculum, mainly on the Arts with Jeff Thomas at 6:35, Richard Hall at 7:25, and Tracks Wall of Famers Jordan and Abigail at 9:30.
