![To determine the Undefined team for next year, junior team captains Evan Sommer and Payton Skipton, along with drama teacher Michael Swindle, hold after school auditions.
“One of the biggest things we look at during auditions is how well they can work with each other,” Skipton said.
Undefined put up flyers with QR codes for interested students, as well as Lafayette’s show choir group, Mic Drop.
With a dance and vocal component for the audition, Mic Drop held mandatory dance clinics after school.
“The actual audition is just a submission,” music teacher Christy Shaffer said.
Mic Drop holds auditions and dance clinics for three consecutive days, according to Shaffer.
“[The dance clinics are held] so they could see it in-person and break down. Then they can take that home to practice and do their recordings.” Shaffer said.

The 3 inch by 3 inch cube consists of red, yellow, white, green, blue and orange squares that rotate. The object is to get every side of the cube the same color by rotating the different rows of colored squares.
For most, solving a Rubik’s Cube is frustrating and nearly impossible. Junior Tiffany Lee, however, has mastered the skill.
After watching a friend quickly solve the puzzle, Lee wanted to know the secret, and asked her friend to teach her.
“There’s a certain pattern of steps that you must follow to solve different parts of the cube,” Lee said.
After considerable practice, Lee can now solve the puzzle in under a minute and a half.
She said, “Most people are really amazed when I start to solve it because I can finish them pretty quickly now.”
Along with solving the basic cube, Lee has also learned some other tricks.
She said, “After solving the Rubik’s Cube you can make different patterns. Like instead of having the cube be the same color on each side you can make it to look like a checker board or the middle square’s color different from the squares around it.”
With time and practice, Lee has turned her puzzle-solving skill into a unique and interesting talent.
