Who: The students of Wechester High School of STEM and The Arts and YOU!
What: Concert, Displays of the Arts and a Science Fair!
When: Saturday October 31st to Sunday November First.
Where: The big park in the center of town.
Warnings: None.

The students at Wechester High have been working very hard to get ready for this day. Many hours were spent after school and on weekends with students perfecting dance routines, working on scientific presentations that go far beyond the usual volcanos and demonstrations on the electrical properties of a potato. There are so many talented musicians and performers and scientists in the school that it shouldn't be any wonder why they were showing off.

The first day of presentations leans towards the arts. The stage is set and used for different musical acts, dancers, short comedy routines that get huge laughs from the crowd. And there are art displays everywhere for people to look at. Sculptures. Sketches. Paintings. There's even a section dedicated to the culinary arts with students demonstrating some amazing proficiency with knife skills and talents with making unique and creative recipes.

All foods are up for sampling, and a few are up for sale. Buy some food. Enjoy.

The second day is dedicated to science projects everywhere. Marvel at a display of a working floating rail system, done by a kid who looks a lot like a much younger Jerry. There are presentations on energy conservation, displays on various and interesting gardening techniques that conserve water. Really, it seems as though there isn't anything these kids didn't think up.

So wander. Enjoy the various displays and concessions. Listen to some amazing music. Enjoy your weekend!

Day 1 - Graffiti Art

It had taken a lot of discussion and lots of guidelines he had to follow, but Miles had convinced the school to let him use spray paints for graffiti art, just to do something different from the regular paint and clay sculptures. He'd even convinced the school to let him do some live demos, and he had an area around the art displays set up where people could watch him making some fresh art. There was a barrier to keep some distance, just so fumes wouldn't be a problem.

And since he always worked better with music, he had a boombox set up nearby, the bass rumbling beneath his feet as he mixed different colors and worked on different designs. He also seemed to take requests if people wanted something specific.

Day 1 - Walking Around

When he needed a break to clear his head, Miles would walk around taking a look at the other exhibits, enjoying the different performances and sampling some of the dishes while watching the culinary students work.

All in all, it was a fun day.

Day 2 - Exploring

While Miles himself was pretty smart, he'd decided not to participate in the Science Fair. And was he was walking around, he was glad that he hadn't because there was definitely no way he would have come up with something near as impressive as the other participants here.

So instead he got to walk around and enjoy himself, listening to the students explain their projects and watching the demonstrations in awe.

Day 1:

Lara's nowhere near as settled into this place as she could be. She just constantly feels on edge, like this is too good to be true and there's something entirely wrong with this situation. And while she hadn't been here long enough to hear a single thing about this showcase the school was putting on, she'd seen the school in passing and thought a place dedicated to such things was amazing.

It sure beat private school and seemed far less stuffy.

So while she's out walking, a raspberry hand pie in one hand and a freshly made soda in the other (and the student making the sodas had explained the science behind it, much to Lara's amusement), she stops to watch Miles work.

When there's a long enough gap in what he's doing, and her mouth isn't full of delicious food, she speaks.

"You're quite talented. This is absolutely stunning," she says with a grin.

Miles had been taking a moment to plan his next move. The problem with canvases was that they were smaller than a wall, but bigger than the tags he used for just his name or word designs. So while he could do more, there's still a limited space that he had to work with. So the key was to maximize the space without running out of space.

So as he considers how to fit what he wants to do, he pauses when someone spoke up behind him. Then he grins in return, flipping a can of spray paint in the air and catching it.

"Thanks," he replies with a nod of his head. "I've been practicing." With a snicker to himself, he gestures to an empty canvas. "Any requests?"

[belay]

"It shows." Lara can appreciate creativity. She can appreciate intricate paintings on the walls of lost ruins, she can appreciate the effort this kid is putting into his work.

"Hmm..." she considers this a moment, tilting her head just a bit as she thinks it over. "How about something that means something to you. Something you find important."

[idontgetpaid]

"Something I find important, huh?" He thought for a moment, his foot tapping along to the music that was still playing. Then he popped the top off the spray paint can. "All right, let's see."

As he started spraying the canvas with the paint he held, he reached for another nearby can, tapping it on the table to pop the top off before adding it to the canvas.
