Damonte Ranch High School senior Madelyn Spencer s arms were tired.
After an informal band practice on the eve of a very unusual football season, Spencer still doesn t know if she will get a chance to conduct on the field before she graduates in June.
On Wednesday, Spencer and 15 other band students who have played in school bands since elementary school met to talk to the Reno Gazette Journal. They brought their instruments to play for the first time together outside this school year, and to talk about the importance band has had on their lives.
“I imagined my senior marching band season,” said Lainey Gammon, who s played the flute for seven years. “It has always been my favorite thing and I was looking forward to this season.”

An undulating wooden structure makes for a striking guest house, designed by Canadian architecture studio Partisans, in the grounds of a Southern Ontario home
A heritage estate nestled among 200-year-old maple and oak trees in Canada’s Southern Ontario region might sound like a dream come true, but for the food and beverage investor and innovator Scott Friedmann, owning a Georgian Revival mansion with multiple structures was not without its perils. After an electrical fire broke out in the property’s guest cottage in 2017, burning it down, Friedmann turned to the Toronto-based architecture firm Partisans to replace the structure with something unexpected.
Fold House is a guest and pool house in Hamilton, Canada, topped with a curving roof of compression-bent oak designed by architecture studio Partisans.
The Toronto-based practice designed the new building to replace the old guesthouse in Southern Ontario, which burned down.
Fold House encompasses a pool and guest house
Fold House is so named because its roof is designed to fold into the existing topography of the site.
A sweeping timber and steel roof covers the swimming pool pavilion, which dips down to accommodate steps up to the roof before curving back up to meet a two-storey guest house.
