Campus news: student broadcast for Upper St. Clair (Dec. 12, 1996)

This Media is a student-produced campus news broadcast from Upper St. Clair summarizing school events and sports results for the week of Dec. 12, 1996. Anchor Brian Ritchie opened the program and announced the Upper St. Clair High School and Community Band holiday concert set for Dec. 16 and a canned-food drive for SHIM at the door. He also noted auditions for the spring musical Music Man, with cast lists to be posted on Dec. 16 and the first company meeting scheduled for Jan. 2.

The report included a visit by a quartet from the Upper St. Clair High School Orchestra to Jefferson Hospital to perform for patients, and a note that the choir and orchestra holiday concert on Dec. 13 featured Ceremony of Carols and Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. Ritchie reported the student council holiday project was $1,200 short of a $4,000 goal as of airtime and said an update would appear next week.

In the sports segment, presenter Christie Olds summarized results and schedules: the wrestling team opened the season vs. Montour with captains Scott Pasquini and Jason Piccipolo; boys' basketball went 2-0 with wins over Hempfield and North Allegheny (66-59 in overtime) and had section games scheduled vs. Baldwin and Central Catholic; swimming and diving posted wins over Woodland Hills and Norwin; the varsity rifle team won an exhibition match over Plum (785-782) with leading scorers Diane Dennison, Steve Pembroke, and John Takalvi; the varsity hockey team lost to North Allegheny 7-6 and later beat Penn Hills; and the dance team is preparing to compete in Orlando Jan. 30–Feb. 3 at the Universal Dance Association national competition. The show closed with sign-off and broadcast schedule information.
