Morning IHS had, instead of the skit, a lecture by Miguel Harthe Bedoya and U of O composer Robert Kyr who played a tape of their composition. The IHS band, which consists of seniors Brian Everett, Ryan Reeves, Blair Conner and Drew Alverez and history teacher Daniel Gallo, played at both the morning and afternoon assemblies. Many stayed after the assembly's end to dance and talk with friends. It felt more like a family. The assemblies also included a slide show of the students' international travels.
Slide shows are a recurring feature that promotes travels abroad as a way of learning new cultures.
Model United Nations also used the assembly as a place to advertise their program.
