Members of Wild Bunch will attend the final games and meets of the season this month as the school year comes to a close. Anna Katsis, Wild Bunch president and senior, said attendance to the preliminary and state-level games is usually higher because people want to see their friends in the last big games of their seasons. Katsis said she has noticed that the club’s attendance levels in the spring have waned.

“Everyone kind of loses motivation to come to (events), especially in the spring. But it’ll be interesting next year because there will be other grades involved that may have a positive effect on attendance levels in the spring,” Katsis said.

Katsis said she has also been busy handing off the responsibilities of Wild Bunch president to junior Chloe LaPlante who will take on the position next school year.

Wild Bunch sponsor Wendy Bass and Katsis both said they are excited to see LaPlante carry out her ideas and vision for the club.

“I’m really excited about her leadership and her ideas for where to take the club’s changes,” Bass said via email.

LaPlante said she is equally as excited about taking on the leadership position next year. She said she is ready to start implementing the many changes that they have planned such as including sophomores through seniors instead of just seniors.

“I knew that (Mrs. Bass) had really big plans for next year for changing (the club) and I just thought that I would be a really good fit for that because I am in a lot of different friend groups,” LaPlante said.

The future Wild Bunch president said she hopes that including sophomores and juniors will bridge the gap year to year so that the club won’t have a completely new group of girls every year.

“It’ll be good for the club to have a continuation of what it was the year before and that way we can build off of each other instead of starting fresh every year,” LaPlante said.

LaPlante’s said her main goal is to make the club more inclusive. She said she believes that the more people she can get involved in Wild Bunch, the more school spirit they can pump into the veins of CHS.

“I’m excited about having more people involved,” La Plante said, “I really want to make it an inclusive school activity.”
