Zoey Bowman is a junior at Mission San Jose High School.This is her first year with TBC, ans she plays the violin. Zoey's dream place to live in is probably Tokyo, Japan, for the culture and high quality of life, not to mention how clean it is there. If she were a time traveler, she would go back to the 1800s to meet the classical composers and find out what inspired them. If Zoey could speak one animal language fluently, she would choose cat language, because cats probably have interesting things to say.

Sristi is a freshman at Lynbrook High School. This is her second year in TBC, and she plays color guard. Her dream place to live would be Hawaii because she went there for vacation once and it was nice and tropical. She also loves summer, especially going to the beach and hiking, which Hawaii is known for. She enjoys standing in the rain or just watching it. There the weather is either hot or rainy most of the time, which would be a good fit for her. Overall, Hawaii satisfies her interests and fits her personality, hence making it her dream place to live in. If she was a time traveler she would want to visit the future. Specifically she would want to visit the 3000s, as she would not be alive to see it, so it would be a cool experience to see what cool new inventions and devices would be made. She would also want to see how lifestyle would change and what would remain the same. However, if she could visit a time period where she could see herself, she would visit the 2040s to see what kind of job she does, what college she attends, and how life would be for her in general. In conclusion, she would visit either the 3000s to see what kind of new inventions would be made or visit the 2040s to see how her life would be like in the future. If she could speak an animal language she would choose cat because she has a pet cat and this could allow her to understand her cat better. She also thinks it would help bond her and her cat and whenever she would be bored she could chat with her cat. Her cat is very noisy as well and always keeps meowing, but she can never understand what it wants, so this would allow her to understand and be able to meet its wants. However, if birds count as an animal species she would talk to them, as they are always chirping and I've always been curious on what they were saying. Her neighbor also has pet birds, so she could tell her what it's telling her as well. So, if birds count as an animal species she would talk to them, else she would talk to cats, so she could talk to her pet cat.

Darian Kell is a sophomore at Foothill Highschool. This is his first year in TBC, and he plays alto saxophone. Darian’s dream place to live is Santa Barbara because of how close everything is to the beach. A close second for him would be Peru. If Darian had to go to a different time period he would pick the 1950s the time before movie production and hollywood blew up. Darian would speak dog to communicate with his dog, simply to understand why he barks at completely nothing.

Jason Kwon is a junior at Monta Vista High School. This is his third year in TBC, and he plays alto saxophone. If he could live anywhere, he would live in South Korea, because of the culture he has missed out on for most of his life.

If he could speak any animal language fluently, he would speak the language of the ducks as they are his favorite animal.
