As school’s first month wraps up, more and more students look for clubs to join, but most don’t know what clubs are available. Know that a list of clubs is available through the Activities Office and the Schoology page; however, not all clubs are listed on that page. So, here’s a look at three clubs here at Sheyenne.

Esports

Where and when does your club meet?

(Esports) We’ve been meeting after school and lately we’ve been meeting during voice and choice for the two blocks on Wednesday, but mostly we meet after school.

What does your club do?

(Esports) Right now, we are maining two games: Rocket League and League of Legends. [Each meeting we] practice online and against other schools [working on] positions and champions [while] getting used to each other’s play styles.

What are your plans for competition?

(Esports) Right now, we are just deciding what to do. last year we were with a company, [we are still deciding whether to stay with them, or not.]

What makes you different than the gaming club?

(Esports) The gaming club is open to board games and [changing games weekly,] whereas esports we will be into more team-based games like League of Legends that focuses on more on quick reactions and working with teammates.

What do you want this club to be?

(Esports) I would like this club to be a place where everyone feels comfortable showing up not just gamers, we have a lot of positions like managerial and content creation and even shout casting, we also offer course for learning to build computers and trouble shooting them.

Chamber Orchestra

Where and when does your club meet? 

(Orchestra) Chamber Orchestra meets Mondays and Thursdays in the orchestra room

What does your club do?  

(Orchestra) Rather than a club, we are an extra-curricular performing ensemble. Chamber Orchestra is an auditioned orchestra made up of students 9-12. We are a small ensemble of students that plays challenging string music. In addition to the normal orchestra concerts, we also play around town at banquets, retirement parties, weddings, and the mall.

Will the Chamber Orchestra be performing? If so, when? 

(Orchestra) Chamber Orchestra performs at the scheduled orchestra concerts. Our next performance will be on March 1st.

How has your turn out been so far and do you have plans to improve it?  

(Orchestra) Chamber Orchestra is an auditioned ensemble. We usually have a large turnout for auditions, but we cannot always accept everyone that auditions. Students still have the opportunity to play with their curricular orchestra during the day.

What experience do you have with your club?  

(Orchestra) This is my 3rd year leading this ensemble.

Chess

Where and when does your club meet?

(Chess) We meet every Wednesday for all voice and choice periods, and we meet in room 2317.

What does your club do?

(Chess) We learn about chess, teach chess, and learn some general strategies.

What are your plans for competition?

(Chess) Once we get going, we might set up tournaments, round robins, [and] keep standings.

What do you want this club to be?

(Chess) We don’t have any major plans like making it a sanctioned club or expanding more, until further notice we are just going to play it by ear and see where it goes.

If the chess club or Esports club interest you check them out at 2317 and 2838 respectively.
