Automotive Club
The Robert Land Academy automotive club recently completed rebuilding a 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle, which was sold during our 2021 online auction. The club will be working to rebuild another car beginning in 2021.
The students learn common automotive skills such as changing a tire, oil changes and dent repairs as well as more complex tasks including window repair and installation, fuel cell installation, electrical work, structural welding and more. Working in pairs, with time to discuss their work, seek advice or discuss alternative methods to complete a task, students also learn auto body skills such as welding, sanding, grinding, painting, surface preparation, bodywork, fabrication, and many others.
Music Club
The Music Club provides students the opportunity to experience and perform music in a group context. Students should possess a working knowledge of an instrument that can be used in a pop-rock setting.
Additionally, all students should be willing to participate in singing, while some will be able to specialize in this. Weekly activities include singing melodies and harmonies, appreciating various musical styles, arranging music for a band context, and performing both in solo and group contexts. Performances may be given at various points in the year, particularly during the Annual Inspection.
