hen I think back on my years as a parent at Marist and the experiences that Payton and Burke have had here, I will always be thankful for the way that the Fine Arts Department has enriched all of our lives. As with any visual or performing arts work, there are many details that go into the creation of the piece. In the case of the Fine Arts at Marist, six key areas make the Marist artistic creations what they are. First, our amazing faculty spend countless hours working with our children to develop their artistic talents. The outstanding classes that Marist offers cover all aspects of the arts, and the extensive number of extracurricular opportunities offered to our students give them a chance to try a broad range of artistic endeavors. Our wonderful Marist parents volunteer with the plays, the concerts, the art projects, and through MAG, the Marist Arts Guild, they give more time and financial contributions that fund the extra items not in the school arts budget.. Even our alumni carry the Marist arts tradition on into their college lives and careers, and their stories inspire current students to pursue their dreams after Marist. Finally, Marist students make the fine arts program what it is. These young men and women constantly amaze us with their talents in performing and visual arts which develop over their years at Marist. These six aspects of the arts bring us an outstanding fine arts program at Marist. So turn the page and join me in celebrating what Marist creativity can do!!

Arje McCarty, MAG President

can state with confidence that the Marist School Fine Arts Department is a model for Catholic high school art programs across the nation. Developing and nurturing such a program requires a community of very passionate and dedicated people. It starts at the top with Fr. Konzen and Fr. Harhager believing that the arts are an essential part of a complete education. The Marist Fathers have provided the leadership we need by supporting the arts in the curriculum, through budgets, scheduling, and hiring practices. Moreover, they understand as well as anyone the subtle connections between faith, liberal education, and the life of the imagination. Next, an arts program needs exemplary teachers. I cannot put into words how lucky we are to have a faculty with such talent, commitment, joy, and love of their craft. All of them are both brilliant educators and practitioners of their artistry. They love what they do and the students know it. Finally, the arts at Marist are a success because of the enormous generosity of parents. Too often we think of the word philanthropy as meaning financial gifts. The word means “love of humankind.” We simply could not offer our programs without the ideas, organization skills, selfless hours of work, and belief in the arts provided by the Marist Arts Guild. The department exists to provide challenging educational opportunities and an environment for Marist students to learn together, perform together, travel together, and discover within themselves their distinct creative gifts. Of course for the best gauge of the department’s success, ask the alumni about their Marist arts education.

Michael Bieze, Fine Arts Department Chair

n Washington, D.C., recently, I looked up at The Smithsonian National Museum of American History and I read a line about the glory of a liberal arts education and its incorporation of a vast swath of humanity’s dreams and needs. The arts embody and promote that broad inclusion of the history and the aspiration of any people- and many people.

The arts are dynamic, ever-evolving, showing us ways to see better where we have come and where we might yet need to go. They entertain but they also enlighten. They can even advance sacred truths and inspire us to act on behalf of the greater good.

Marist is fortunate to have a long history of providing first-rate offerings in the visual and performing arts. Our campus vibrates with the daily examples for our use and enjoyment: from poems to posters, from the riveting music at Mass to the pianist or violinist at a ceremony and on to the deadly serious or rollicking performances in drama.

We all, we must admit, depend on the arts to express who we are as a believing, hoping and achieving nation. I thank those who work to make the arts an integral part of campus life and I thank those who support them. May the combined efforts of all who value artistic contribution preserve and multiply our commitment to an excellent arts program at Marist.

About the Cover:Digital Arts Lab students competed to create the MAGazine cover. Senior Phillip Wood was the winner, building his multi-layered design from the idea of notebook doodles. He says the best part about digital art is that you can “undo” elements that you don’t like. Wood has taken two arts courses at Marist and regrets that he hasn’t taken more. He is also an athlete and musician and plans to pursue architecture in college.

The department now features seven choir classes and multiple performing groups who keep the sound of music flowing almost constantly in and around Woodruff Auditorium. Enthusiasm is evident throughout the year but particularly at Christmas as an increasing number of alumni return to join current students for the highly anticipated rendition of “Carol of the Bells.”

Marist hosts seven vocal concerts every year. This year student vocalists also performed for the Keep America Beautiful Awards Dinner at The Fernbank Museum, for the annual Wassail Ball held at the Cherokee Town Club and the National Anthem for an Atlanta Braves game. Students also recorded four different arrangements of The National Anthem that will play in rotation at the end of each school day.

Middle School singers participate in Girls Chorus, Advanced Girls Chorus, and for boys, the Blue Chorus for 7th graders or 8th grade Gold Chorus. Ninth grade singers participate in

Concert Choir, while 9th – 12th graders audition for the more advanced Chorale and the junior and senior-only Chamber Choir. Extra-curricular opportunities for high school students include Marist Singers, an auditioned jazz ensemble that earns honors credit, and Girls Trio or Men’s Quartet. Many vocalists also are active in Music Ministry, leading the student body in song at Masses or prayer services.

Ten Marist students – more than any other school contingent in our five-county district - made the Georgia All State Chorus this year, doubling Marist’s 2008 representation at the Savannah event. Fifty percent of auditioning Marist singers qualified, which is higher than the state average of 25 percent. Seven students also participated in the State Literary Competition scheduled during Marist’s spring break.

Each year, Choral Director Sharon Coheley and Assistant Director Brock Derringer are greeted with different personality and ability ensembles that guide them in their selection of music

and arrangements. They consider the strengths and weaknesses of each group, the vocal range of each section, the complexity of the musical parts and the quality of the text when they determine the annual repertoire. For example, Chamber Choir took on college-level works by Morten Lauridsen, Moses Hogan and Eric Whitacre for the Sacred Concert held in February.

Mrs. Coheley and Mr. Derringer put in long hours teaching vocal technique, music reading and theory, and preparing for concerts, student auditions and school musicals. This is the first time Coheley has directed the music for “West Side Story,” which involves more solos than the previous shows, “Sweeney Todd,” “The Frogs,” “Into the Woods,” and “Titanic.”

In addition to teaching six choir classes and instructing vocalists in the musicals, Mrs. Coheley also conducts Pit Orchestra for senior high productions and plays plays flute and piccolo for the junior high Pit Orchestra. This is her 18th season as Marist’s Choral Arts Director.

Mr. Derringer is in his third year as Assistant Choral Director, teaching Concert Choir, Blue Chorus, Gold Chorus, Quartet and leading Music Ministry. He is the accompanist for the senior high musicals and is Musical Director for the junior high musical in May.

“Sometimes it’s a challenge to keep up with it all, but the opportunity to work with these kids is creative heaven.” Sharon Coheley, Choral Director

“The Frogs,” an early Stephen Sondheim work loosely based on Aristophanes’ comedy written in 405 B.C, opened in the fall, and the classic “West Side Story” was staged in the spring. Both shows required advanced dance numbers, which impacted casting and rehearsals. Directors Stefanie Stadler and Eric McNaughton entered a one-act version of “The Frogs” into two regional competitions, which literally meant “taking the show on the road” while rehearsing and staging other productions. This was the first time in four years that Marist chose to compete.

“We felt the time was right to share our work with peers to validate our actors as well as our program in general,” said Mrs. Stadler. The extra effort paid off with multiple awards and anecdotal recognition of Marist being on par with schools solely focused on the arts. Marist earned “Best Overall Technical Production” at the Georgia Theatre Conference in Columbus, Ga., with Alex Ho and Coles Prince named to the All-Star Cast and Chris Manley selected as “Best Supporting Actor. ” The troupe was runner-up at the Region 6-AAAA One-Act Play Competition held at Forsyth Central High School. Christopher Ryan was named “Best Actor,” and John Gramlich and Chris Manley were named to the All-Star Cast.

Both senior high productions were heavily supported by former Broadway dancers Michael and Kathy Ricardo, Marist parents who led regular dance conditioning and choreography sessions for more than seven months. Dozens of parents worked on set construction, scenic painting and costume design. Parent Annie Peterle, a professional puppeteer at The Center for Puppetry Arts, assisted Mr. Ricardo with designing the battery-operated frog “eyes” that made for a dramatic River Styx night scene. Current Marist parents, Chris and Eileen Hickey, lent their painting and graphic design skills to the productions’ sets and programs, and Danny Zink created West Side Story’s fantastic fire escapes.(See related story: Parents in the Arts)

The 2009-2010 Marist Theatre Season was ambitious on many levels. This year faculty selected two high school musicals

and adapted one for multiple off-site performances.

In early November, 20 freshman and sophomore girls wowed audiences with the charming one-act play, “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.” With only a few weeks of rehearsal under their belts, they entertained the Marist School community with stories about youth and wisdom, proving that the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Soon after, Marist Foundations students (7th-9th grade) opened “Christmas in Word and Song,” a collaboration with the Marist Choral Department.

The Foundations students (7th, 8th and 9th grades) will mount “The Mikado” in May, bringing Gilbert and Sullivan’s raucous satire of politics and social status to a new generation of fans.

Mr. McNaughton, a 1990 Marist graduate who has worked professionally in regional and off-Broadway productions, said, “Our goal is to expose Marist students to the joy and skill of performing, which can translate later to a variety of work situations.

If students decide to pursue theatre as a career, we hope to prepare them well for the rigors of professional competition.”

A number of Marist Thespians are currently studying theatre and film at schools such as the University of Southern California, Emerson College, and Loyola University. Members of the Class of 2010 plan to pursue theatre at Florida State, the University of Indiana

– Evansville, and High Point University, among others.

the Parents Club, MAG and through a grant from the Brown Foundation.

Marist’s Instrumental Art program provides a robust combination of curricular and extra-curricular offerings for casual and serious musicians.

No.14

Mark Craddock has directed the Marist Instrumental Art program for 17 years, serving as an inspiration and mentor to hundreds of students. Many of his musicians go on to play in college bands, and several have pursued professional careers. He teaches and oversees Marist’s six curricular band classes as well as the advanced placement courses. In addition, he arranges music for the Music Ministry Group and arranges and choreographs the marching band’s fall production, right down to the colour guard’s flags and costumes.

Scott Sparrowhawk joined the Marist faculty in 1998 as Assistant Band Director. He teaches beginning and concert band and directs the jazz band and jazz combo. He leads jazz practice sessions before and after school, encouraging students to improvise and explore their musical chops. Sparrowhawk majored in percussion and is the spark behind Marist’s award-winning drum line.

This year, The War Eagle Marching Band focused on the music of Athens-based R.E.M. They began practicing at summer band camp and took their show on the road to several regional and state competitions where they earned top honors. (See Bravo! Page)

Five Marist students were selected to participate in the annual JanFest competition at the University of Georgia, which attracts the top student musicians in the state for four days of workshops and seminars. Our contingent had the honor of playing for the Director of the Air Force Band, among others.

“Over half of our band was brand new this year, so we were blown away that they pulled together and helped us keep up our winning streak. If this is what happens during a

so-called rebuilding year then we can’t wait to see how next year unfolds.” Mark Craddock, Band Director

The Visual Art program at Marist, led by Dr. Michael Bieze, is one of the finest among Catholic schools in the country. Dr. Bieze has been a college professor, is a respected author and a top consultant to the College Board, but he has chosen to teach at Marist for the past 24 years. He is joined by Bill Buckner, an award-winning ceramicist and photographer, and Patrick DeAngelis, a classically trained

painter whose expertise spans the fundamentals of drawing to the funkiness of digital arts.

“There is community-wide support for the arts at Marist and some of the brightest students you will find anywhere,” Dr. Bieze says. “Our faculty members are skilled practitioners who find joy in communicating their artistic gifts through teaching.” Those are just a few reasons why the art studio is generally abuzz with a collegial air of excitement. It feels more like a haven than classroom space.

The goal of the visual arts curriculum is to show how art mediates and connects with all life experiences, from prayer to history to self awareness. Introductory to advanced courses are offered in drawing, painting, ceramics, studio art, 3-D imaging and photography. Further exploration is available through favorites like AP Art History and Archival Research, a small, permission-only class that delves into the work behind exhibitions and historical preservation.

The digital media lab is the newest art-making tool within Marist’s art studio. Students use the same computer

software used in commercial settings to create logos, illustrations and graphics for Web site and print design. Here students can edit photos, merge art forms and create special effects with the click of a mouse.

Marist artists are encouraged to learn through real-world experiences. Dr. Bieze has taken his AP

Art History students around the world, from China to the Czech Republic. This year, he led 14 students on a spring break trip to Japan where they explored Japanese shrines, temples and ancient art. He also hosted a fall trip to Harlem, punctuating his class on Sacred Spaces and Ralph Ellison’s book, “The Invisible Man.”

Closer to home, visual arts students are encouraged to submit t-shirt designs for various school activities, partake in set design and construction for the school plays, and submit work for the student literary arts magazine, The Rapier, which publishes each spring. This publication, named for Marist’s first principal, received the Gold Crown award again in 2009, the highest honor in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association’s annual competition.

A long-term departmental goal is to purchase and display the works of Marist visual arts alumni. This year, Marist parents and friends will have the chance to do just that at the first-annual “Arts Unfiltered” event on April 17. Crest Lobby in Centennial Center will be transformed into a coffee house atmosphere where faculty, student and alumni art will be on view while Marist musicians provide a live audio backdrop.

High School theatre students are lucky to work with any choreographer. Marist actors are fortunate to learn from Broadway veterans. Michael and Kathy Ricardo have shared their technique, training and tales from The Great White Way with Marist Thespians for the last decade. This season they supported “The Frogs” and “West Side Story” with twice-a-week dance class beginning last summer.

Both began dance young. Kathy started ballet at seven and eventually attended the American Ballet Theatre School in New

York. She broke onto Broadway in “Grease,” performing with Patrick Swayze, Treat Williams and Peter Gallagher. Other credits include “Dancin’”, directed by the legendary Bob Fosse, and the national tour for “No, No Nanette.”

Michael was tapping by the age of five with a former Radio City Rockette who had relocated to his hometown of Cambridge, Mass. He performed as a Harvard University student and moved on to summer stock, and then Broadway. He was Mike (“I Can do That”) in the Broadway production of “A Chorus Line” and served as the dance director for Choreographer Michael Bennett during the national tour. His duties, in addition to performing, included auditioning, hiring and teaching the choreography as the company toured the U.S. MTV fans may recognize him from Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” video.

It takes many skilled hands to create realistic and workable theatre sets. Knowledge of history, architecture, engineering, lighting and color all come into play.

Chris Hickey, parent of Brendan (’11) and Charlie (’13) has been at the center of this work for the last three seasons, bringing 30 years of visual arts technique to our stage. Hickey is an Art Professor and Chair of the Arts Department at Clark Atlanta University.

“Each production requires a different approach. Sometimes it is specialty painting, such as the faux wood graining we did for the deck of Titanic,” says Hickey. “Eric and Stefanie determine who functions as set designer, which includes the set construction plan, and the set painter, who determines the decoration of the set. I typically develop sketches and color schemes that they approve.” Parents get involved, following his “paint by numbers” scheme. Once the base colors are set, Hickey adds textural treatments and detailed elements.

Hickey was drawn into volunteering while watching Fine Arts Chair Michael Bieze on the 2007 set for “Into the Woods.”

“In higher education we often talk about active engagement, a concept usually associated with teaching students through active learning. I have found that MAG volunteers create their own spin on active engagement by modeling service to their children who are involved in the Fine Arts.”

A graduate of Miami University’s Fine Arts program, Hickey earned his MFA in printmaking from the University of Nebraska. He was offered a tenured track position at Clark College in 1979 (Clark College and Atlanta University merged in 1988 to form Clark Atlanta University) and has built his career there since.

“Early on, I learned that my education held large gaps regarding the role and accomplishments of African-American artists,” he says. “I chose to be a student of African-American culture and ended up teaching a humanities class that focused on cross-cultural developments in the visual arts.”

Hickey admires Dr. Bieze’s research on Booker T. Washington and his keen insights to other cultures. “Marist students are getting an appreciation of art from a global perspective that few students in high school or college in America tend to get.”

Christopher Hoff ’94 is an oil painter drawn to the vernacular of urban structures. He is currently

working on an 11-canvas series depicting the rebuild of the World Trade Center thanks to a grant from

Montreal’s Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation. Based in Seattle, he plans regular 10-day trips to Manhattan

where he paints on the site and from the 19th floor of an office overlooking the construction. Once complete,

these historic paintings will exhibit in public spaces from Seattle to New York.

“The series is about trying to relate the building process and the creative process,” he says. “The sculptural nature of a

building under construction can be a potent metaphor for human creativity in general. Building a structure involves an amazing

collaboration of people and ideas.” Hoff has enjoyed interacting with the design and construction crews who check out his progress between shifts. “I like the idea that the paintings have the capacity to touch diverse groups of people in positive ways.”

Hoff credits a class in Mechanical Drawing and Dr. Bieze’s A.P. Art History course as pivotal moments in his development. Specifically, he decided to become a professional artist while on the A.P. Art History trip to Italy. He earned a B.F.A. in painting from the Savannah College of Art & Design and began his career with a Seattle construction company, building and painting “hyper-realistic” habitats for zoos and aquariums.

“I am lucky that Seattle has one of the largest non-profit arts communities in the country. It is because of grants, subsidized artist housing, state subsidized healthcare, in addition to exhibiting at multiple galleries, that I can paint full time,” he says.

David Boucher ’93 is a music engineer who records and mixes albums for the likes of Randy Newman, Andrew Bird and The Indigo Girls, but he traces his career roots to Marist. “My job is actually the same as when I was at Marist, but now I get paid to do it,” he says, referencing his band ensemble work and his experience in A.P. Music Theory. Boucher earned his B.A. in Music at the University of Miami and today is based in Los Angeles.

Like Hoff, Boucher appears to have an innate confidence that allows him to thrive as an independent contractor. “I like to be involved from the blank tape to the product you get when you purchase the music. My job is to put the individually recorded instruments together in a way that imparts the intention of the songwriter, producer and artist,” he says. He describes good recording as a joyous enterprise, although some gigs can require grueling hours to meet the deadline.

His advice for aspiring musical engineers? “Record as much as you can as often as you can. The best part about music school is having a pool of talented musicians available at all hours.” As for personality traits, he suggests reflection. “Don’t answer a question without knowing the correct answer or considering your answer if the question is subjective.” Boucher says massively successful artists have abundant personal skills that help propel their careers. He describes them as engaging, cordial and interesting, which has made for a “no lose’ situation for most of his career.

Hooge is the Music Director at DeKalb’s Shamrock Middle School, but plans to eventually pursue her doctorate and teach at the college level.

“Marist molded me into a musical leader,” she says. “I took on responsibilities that I wouldn’t have (had) in other schools. I loved working with my peers to help them prepare for All State or for a Music Theory Exam. Marist confirmed for me that I wanted to study music in college.”

Hooge pursued Music Composition at The Oberlin Conservatory and obtained her Masters from the University of London Institute for Education where she learned

how music is taught around the world. Her dissertation was on motivating children to sing, harkening back to her experience as Mrs. Coheley’s assistant for the Girls Chorus.

“I figured out I wanted to teach early on, but having such inspirational teachers like Sharon Coheley, Tim Johnson, and Mark Craddock pushed me further towards this dream and career,” she says. “Without insightful teachers like these, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

No.26

Markowski was a standout Marist actor, earning The Father Brennan Award and recognized as “Most Talented” by his peers during his senior year. He went on to graduate magna cum laude with a B.A. in Theatre Performance from the College of Charleston. He pays the bills by managing a restaurant during the day, but pays his dream forward by lighting up Atlanta stages at night. He is in the process of obtaining an agent and earning his Actors Equity credentials. One day he hopes to complete his Masters so he can teach theatre to high school or college students.

“Without a doubt, Mrs. Stadler and Mrs. Coheley inspired me to pursue acting and singing while at Marist and also to pursue it in college as well. Their love for and dedication to the plays, musicals, and concerts were contagious and inspiring,” he says.

John’s professional credits include television commercials for Vortex and Comcast on Demand. He is a regular on the stages of the Atlanta Lyric Theatre, the Aurora Theatre, Dunwoody Stage Door Players, and Onstage Atlanta where he has earned two Post and Alley Awards for his work.

John encourages aspiring actors to be persistent. “It can become very discouraging for students who do not get cast in shows or companies. However, that is part of the business and the sooner you come to terms with it, the better off you will be. Don’t let a bad audition or a couple rejections keep you from pursuing your passion.”
