Spring is in the air, St. Patrick’s Day is around the corner and, above all, the madness is beginning as I walk into first period and notice everyone’s NCAA tournament brackets in hand.
As second period rolls the so called “bracketologists” from an hour before no longer enjoy college basketball as they watch their brackets bust.
Managing Editor: As my time as senior ends your time begins
At the end of any adventure, people commonly remark on how quickly it went by.
My time at Brophy falls into this cliché.
As I think back on my past four years, I can only see a blurry slideshow of memories that have built me into the person I am today.
Stepping outside comfort zone key to success at Brophy
Brophy is a place where food must be sheltered from scavenging dogs.
It’s a place where JUGs are not something to be drunk from but rather something to fear, and a place where teenage boys become young men.
Editor in Chief offers parting words before college
Sorry, Brophy, it’s not you, it’s me.
We had a really good thing going, but it’s time to move on. There’s another school that I’ve gotten into as of late, Boston College.
Internet trends distract students from work, education
For many students around campus, keeping up with the latest Internet trends is a fulltime activity.

Touring ‘Wicked’ scores on, off stage
By Phillip Rapa ’14
THE BRONCO BEAT
It is rare that one gets a chance to go behind-the-scenes at the Gammage Theater, and I was incredibly lucky to have this opportunity.
Just recently, the Broadway musical Wicked traveled through Phoenix, and I had the privilege to sit in the pit orchestra to observe the musicians as well as see the stage from the best seat in the house. My piano instructor, Dr. Andria Fennig, plays keyboard in the pit orchestra, so I got a free one-way ticket to join the professional musicians and observe “Keyboard 1,” the most intense and comprehensive piano part in the show.

By Kevin Valenzuela ‘13
THE BRONCO BEAT
Attack Attack’s new album “This Means War” dropped Jan. 17, and with it came a new sound for the band.
