STINGS CLUB RETURNS TO NORTH CROSS

The Strings Club is officially back and looking for anyone willing to come and join the fun every Friday in Mistie Dickenson’s room.   
In the past, Dr. Timothy Naginey used to have a “guitar club” of sorts, where he would have a day every week in which students could bring their guitars to school, and Dr. Naginey would teach them some lessons to improve their skills. However, due to the rise in the amount of clubs available, the club was shut down and hasn’t been seen for a while.Recently, Dickenson and Dr. Naginey have been working together to bring back the club, however instead of a teaching session of sorts, students can bring any sort of stringed instrument and have a fun time fiddling around. The kicker is that it doesn't matter what skill level you are. From complete beginners to masters of their respective instruments, everyone is welcome to come have a fun time, work on songs they are learning, and even help each other improve together. This Friday, a good number of students turned up for the club meeting, bringing all electric guitars, and had some fun practicing. One of the students, Anderson Ratliff, brought two of his electric guitars, plugged in, and started playing a few riffs from popular songs. “I play guitar to help relieve stress, and so that’s kind of why I picked it up,” Anderson said. “And I’ve just taught myself how to play guitar over the past two years. It’s just really important to me to, sort of like, relieve stress, and it’s just, it’s just helpful. Like midway through the day like keeps me going, gets me energized.”
