Senior Spotlight
Adam Bradshaw

    
Senior Adam Bradshaw started playing the cello in the Fourth grade and continues today to play with a great zeal.
     With the aid of the Fort Atkinson Orchestra program and private lessons, playing the cello quickly became a passion and an important aspect of Adam's life. Aside from orchestra, he has since embellished his performing career to include playing bass guitar, piano, acting, singing and dancing.
     He is a member of the award-winning south High Street Singers and the prestigious Fort Atkinson High School Jazz Ensemble. On stage, Adam has been seen in plays produced by FACT, Fort Atkinson High School, Council for the Performing Arts, and Craftworld Productions. as president of the high school Forensics team, Adam also competes in several competitions in the category of Humorous Solo Acting. Next year, he will attend UW-Madison and pursue a degree in Thaeater Generalism. Extra-curricular activities aside, orchestra remains a very important part of Adam's life.

 
Harmony Greenhalgh

      Harmony Greenhalgh is a Senior at Fort Atkinson high School. She has been playing the violin since Fourth Grade at Purdy Elementary School and has been Concert Mistress of the High School Orchestra since her Junior year. Besides the violin, Harmony also enjoys playing the electric violin in the school Pep Band and the piano, guitar and bagpipes for her own enjoyment.
     In addition to music, most of harmony's free time is taken by ice hockey. she is a member of the Wisconsin AAA team, a traveling team based at the Pettit Center in Milwaukee. her season starts in August with practices 2 or 3 times a week in Milwaukee and ends in April with the National Championships. every weekend in between involves tournaments or games in the surrounding states and as far away as Toronto, Canada and Hartford, Connecticut.
     Besides hockey, Harmony has lettered in High School Soccer and played tennis and basketball.
     At this time, Harmony is undecided about a major for college but she knows she wants to play women's ice hockey on a college team.
