PieDMONT TEAMS Compete AT OM REGIONALS

Students in costume huddle with coach before the performance

Two Piedmont teams performed at Wingate University this weekend at the Odyssey of the Mind Tournament.

The "Superhero Cliffhanger" team created a humorous performance about an unexpected superhero who must save creativity. The superhero, clumsy sidekick, and nemesis engaged in a choreographed battle with a cliffhanger ending.

On stage. All props are team designed and hand made.

The "Iits Time OMer" team pretended to be time travelers looking to discover the inspiration for great works of art. The travelers went back and forth in time to inspire two classical artists and a team-created artist from our future. telling how the three works of art positively impact the world.

Both teams have met regularly since October to write and practice a completely original 7 minute skit for the event. They even made their own props. In additon to their original performances, both teams also scored highly on the spontaneous part of the competion.

Congratulations to this creative bunch and to their coaches Paul Reali and Monique Dedaux!

Spontaneous School spirit at today's OM tournament. Congratulations teams and thank you to the parents and coaches #PiedmontYouKnow #PiedmontIB

Check out our brand new Stop Motion Video studio in action.

Thanks to Mrs. Newburger and the PTSA for making it possible.

"I only work in black. Or very dark gray."

-Batman creates a prop for the group's video.

Gabe (who's had stop-motion training and it shows) made this Lego stop motion video in fewer than 20 minutes, rushing down to the cafeteria for lunch so he could get back up to the MakerSpace and create.

Check it out. We might see him at the Oscars one day!
