Congratulations to Central Valley's Team Dubner, who placed second at the regional Odyssey of the Mind competition in Goshen. Team Dubner took on Problem #3/Division 1 - The Classics: The Musical Production.

Problem Description:

Historic figures get an encore as OMers re-tell their stories in musical form. In this problem, teams will create and perform an original biographical musical about a selected historic figure who, for most people, time has forgotten. There will be three songs: (1) an opening number, (2) one whose music conveys an emotion, and (3) one determined by the team. The performance will also include a theatrical special effect, a creative scene change achieved by movement of scenery, a membership sign that will appear as a marquee for the team’s musical, and a storyteller character.

The kids chose Marie-Antoinne Careme, a French chef known for creating the Charlotte Russe and Napoleon.  He worked for Napoleon and European royalty.  He was known for creating Haute Cuisine.  He was known as the "First Celebrity Chef."

Team Members include: Giuliana Burek, John Paul Anastasia, Samuel Chan, Madison Kamfoi and Christianne Elize Vergara. The team is led by coach Nikki Dubner.

Well done, Central Valley!
