Consciousness-Based Education students win top award

A group mime performed by Maharishi School students won the top award in that category at the recent state speech association competition.

"The Adventures of Miss Power and the Amazing Violet Velocity In: Dial 'H' for Hero!" received the IHSSA All-State Critic's Choice Award, which deems it the best group mime of 2009 in the state of Iowa.

The 2009 Iowa High School Speech Association All-State Festival was held at the Iowa State Center in Ames. Six out of nine entries from Maharishi School were recognized at the All-State Festival this year. Only the top performances from each of the state-level competitions receive such an honor. Two Maharishi School pieces received special recognition at the All-State Festival and four pieces performed.

The winning mime was developed by the performers and the coaches, Brendan Thomas and Alana Waksman. The performers were Essa Johnson, Angelia Mahaney, Paris Lamoureux, Caroline Fulcher, Pearl Sawhney, and Minna Mohammadi.

Critics for the All-State Festival are chosen from across the state to judge each of the categories. At the end of the day, each critic from each respective category chooses his or her favorite performance of the day, thus
awarding the Critic's Choice Award to that performance and school and entrusting them with the banner to hang in their school for one year.
