1. who: Byrnehurst music wing
what: prepare for holiday program
when: holidays
where: Byrnehurst
why: holiday programs are coming up
how: practicing songs
2. The information on the combined concerts distracts the reader from the Byrnehurst choir.
3. Inverted pyramid – The author probably thought that this was more important information and then put it towards the beginning.
4. The 5 paragraphs before the ending are non essential but they rounded it off with a fun addition to what the choir will be doing at the concert and how they feel about it.
5. The instrumental department faces a busy schedule as well. – this fact adds conflict to the story.
In addition to the annual combined holiday concerts, Blazer musicians will present more than 25 special performances for local groups and organizations. This extra information gives a background of what the group will also be doing on that day.

1. Who-Byrnehurst music groups
What-preparing for holiday programs
Where-Byrnehurst High School
When-holiday season
Why-they do it every year
How-various groups perform in different concerts
2. The reporter probably thought that he/she should just say what is going on and tell the reader how many different concerts are going on and other things that are going on so he/she doesn’t have to explain it later and throughout the article the reporter elaborates on these different events.
3. A. timeliness to show when the event is going to happen and because it is happening so soon
B. entertainment factor because the point of these events is to entertain the people
4. The last two paragraphs are not really needed but they are in the article because they round it out because they add a little extra to the article. The two extra paragraphs explain how busy the students are at this time of year and why people think it is a good idea.

1.Who- Byrnehurst’s musical groups
What- Have upcoming performances
Where- at Byrnehurst and throughout the community
When- Between November 29 and December 21
Why- It’s the holiday season.
How- Many
2.The reporter probably used the seven news values to determine which information had the greatest appeal to readers. He or she would then have placed the most important, general information at the end and the least important information last.
3. A. Proximity- The concerts take place at the school.
B. Human Interest- There is going to be a surprise at the concerts.
4. The last four paragraphs- They summarize the entire story, which is good because it has lots of information and is very lengthy, and also make a wineglass ending.
5. -Holiday Concert Schedule- It would be boring, long, and repetitive to write the schedule in sentence form.
-Music to Go- it does not relate to the story itself and is not of interest to everyone.
6. Who- Byrnehurst musical groups
What- Accept engagements
Where- Around the community
When- throughout the school year
Why- To raise money for music and equipment

Who: the vocal and instrumental groups (the concert choir, BeSharp vocal ensemble, Blazer jazz band, orchestra, and chamber groups)
What: will be performing throughout the community and take part in the “Welcome Santa” parade
Where: Byrnehurst
When: Saturday November 29th, 21st
Why: the holiday season
How:
2) The article is about the concerts so it makes sense to put the information about what groups and what programs there are.
3) Proximity, human interest or drama, timeliness, and name recognition.
4) 4 paragraphs can be cut off at the end. The other paragraphs round out the story because they make it into a wineglass ending and add in more human interest.
5) The holiday concert schedule and information about donations. The information in the sidebars is not best presented in sentences or the information isn’t really directed towards the general audience.

Who? The concert choir, BeSharp vocal ensemble, Blazer jazz band, and chamber groups
What? Preparation for many different parades and events
When? Saturday November 29th,21st
Where? Byrnehurst
Why? Holiday season
How?
2. The journalist was making sure that the readers had background info on what, who and where the events were going to be.
3. Proximity: occurring near students at Byrnehurst.
Human Interest: There will be a surprise at the event.
Name recognition: SANTA CLAUSE!
4. The last 3 paragraphs. This article is a wine glass style, so the other information is really just a little extra for excitement.
5. The first sidebar gives the Holiday Concert Schedule. If used in sentence form, it wastes space and trees. The second sidebar was about the hiring policy. This only applies to a certain group of people; therefore it is used at the end so that it again, does not waste space in the actual article.

4. This article has a wine glass style to it. It starts with the most important facts at the beginning and ends with a kind of humorous sentence or one that leaves the reader with a good impression.
5. The first sidebar in this article gives the schedule of the holiday concert. It is important as a side bar because it attracts more attention and is easier for the readers to see all the times and dates in one place. It is also a lot clearer. The second sidebar in this article relates to the Byrnehurst group but not the article topic as a whole.
