“We are the Baker Street Irregulars, and the game is always afoot!”
The words echoed from the stage and seemed to linger even after the cast had taken their bows and the audience had returned to the monotony of daily life. For the students, parents, staff, and wider Corvallis community, Sherlock Holmes: the Baker Street Irregulars certainly left an impression, showcasing not only a whimsical story of adventure and found family but also the capabilities of the talented cast and crew. The play followed Wiggins, an inquisitive street urchin, and his band of London outcasts following the disappearance of Sherlock Holmes. The group quickly found themselves embroiled in all manner of adventures from the mysterious disappearance of one Richard Mayhew, to an exciting chase through a train, to a climactic battle atop a roaring waterfall.

As the fall sports season wraps up, so does our CV Pep Band season. The band, led by drum majors Jesus Moreno Rangel and Jack Kurth, has finished off the season with a bang.

Each shape is called a set, and band members have a specific amount of time to get into each one while playing. The CV Pep Band played at all of the home games, assemblies, and at the girl’s volleyball state game. They are quoted as being “better than before” and “loud enough to hear across the school.” Sarah Perkins, who teaches the Crescent Valley band and orchestra programs, has done an amazing job this year both teaching and directing the CV Pep Band and they hope to continue to grow this great environment into basketball and concert season!
