Episode 63: Program Showcase Flanagan HS

Yeah, so let's talk a little bit about planning in high school.

Let's start with kind of the school itself to kind of give everybody just an idea of where you are in the school itself.

So you're located in Pembroke Pines, Florida.

Where is that within the state, Nick? For those of us that don't really know Florida.

It's in the central part of South Florida.

I believe it's like 30 minutes north of Miami, but then 30 minutes south of Boca West Palm Beach.

It's a very beautiful area.

Definitely a large performing arts community.

We have tons of amazing color guards that are in the county as well, Broward County, Stoneman Douglas, West Broward, Somerset Academy, Cooper City, Park Vistas, very up north as well.

And I think there's a lot of awesome community of color guard that happens and pageantry that happens in Pembroke Pines.

All three schools are on the same street, actually.

Right,

right.

Flanagan, West Broward, and Somerset.

They're on the same street? Yeah, you can take one road down.

You get off the highway, you get Flanagan, you go right, you just keep going down.

Pines Boulevard all the way to the end, and West Broward is right there on the same street.

That's wild.

And Somerset is just a skip and a hop, 15 minutes or five minutes walking across the street from West Broward.

Yeah, that's just so foreign to me.

In the Virginia, D.C. area, unfortunately, there's no support for it here, which is the problem, but that's a whole different conversation.

Looking at like the school of Flanagan.

So it seems like a normal sized high school, about 2200 students.

So not like a massive school.

I know I talked to a performer from the Woodlands and they had almost 6000 kids in that school.
