The Communication Arts, Film, & Digital Media Academy (caf&dm) traveled to Orlando, FL on Thursday, April 25- Saturday, April 27, 2013 to learn and compete in the Florida Scholastic Press Association’s (FSPA) Spring Conference. Forty-two students from highlights (newspaper), Cavaleon (yearbook), Catharsis (literary magazine), CavsConnect (online), and Gables Live! (broadcast) shared their passion for journalism with over 1,000 other Fla. students in the largest conference FSPA has seen in over a decade.
A full story on all of the awards and accolades achieved at the state convention will be coming shortly, but one of the most exciting moments for CGHS was when the closing award ceremony was opened by the 1st Place Edit to the Beat entry by our own Gables Live! A team contest, Edit to the Beat requires the TV students to capture footage from the first day of FSPA and edit the footage to a song they are given. They must showcase the theme of the convention, in this case ex[press]ion, as well as what took place throughout the day.
Congratulations to the entire Gables Live! team that traveled to FSPA: Raul Flores, Saira Membreno, Samuel Tapia, Andrea Salas, Diana Galiano, Daniela Karaki-Suarez, and Marvin Reyes.
