YPI-ROE gives back! Cesar Chavez Day 2010!
Look at some of the pictures we found on the ROE cameras! These were taken last school year, during Cesar Chavez Day. Students helped our staff give the school grounds a thorough cleaning, and did clean up work around the neighborhood. We also went door to door, giving away energy efficient light bulbs to our neighbors!
Make sure you mark your calendars for Cesar Chavez Day (MARCH 31 2011) and join us, as we give back to the community!

DJ BIO: DJ-J/D double J
Hey everyone! My name is Jenny a.k.a DJ-J or D double J!
I was born the daughter of a musician on May 3, 1994, inherited the musical gene, and now I have a passion to sing! Most times, I feel like it is the only way I can express my thoughts and feelings. If I’m happy or something good happened that day, I will sing a cheerful song. If I’m sad, I won’t cry, I will just sing and let it all out.
I am most happy when I am listening or singing to my favorite songs, recording a CD with a famous celebrity again (I have sung with Flea from RHCP, and Ryan Gosling from the movie The Notebook), hanging with my friends, or riding a roller coaster at Six Flags!
I get really angry when people bring up my past but I feel alright about it now because you learn from your past and I’ve learned and tried not to make the same mistakes I made then! :)
My feelings about school are positive feelings. I want to finish high school and continue my education by going to College and/or University and make not only myself proud, but my family proud. The proudest moment of my life was when I found out that I passed the CAHSEE on my first try.
My favorite subjects right now will probably have to be English and Chemistry because I like to write, and I like science for some reason. I would love to be able to have a music education program to teach aspiring musicians like myself, how to read, compose, and of course, play music.
My favorite after school activity is being on the WYPI-ROE Radio crew!!!

MUSIC REVIEW::"The Gathering"-Living Legends-Living Up To The Name
"The Gathering - Living Legends"
"Living Up To The Name" By DJ Azteca
So for those of you who don’t know Living Legends is a group composed of some of the most influential artist of our generation. "The Gathering" is definitely a must get album for anyone with any self respect. First of all the beats are consuming and the lyrics are for lack of better words banging. All artist were equally amazing and all brought there own unique flow to the table.
The track "She Wants Me" was an amazing song and is guarantee to make you’re spot the hottest spot in the city [if you are a club dj]. "Pants On Fire" was just straight gangster music something you can really bump your head to. "War and Peace" was such a strong message, so just open you’re ears and embrace it. "Samba" is a song that brings the spice to your ears. The last song was an excellent ending to an excellent album.
Thank Legendary Music for making this album possible. A 4.5 out of 5 is what I give this album not quite a 5 because to be a 5 it would have to include NaS another living legend.
DJ Azteca can be heard every Wednesday afternoon, live on WYPI ROE Radio, with his highly insightful "Word Of The Day" segment! Each week he will present a single word that we can all focus and think about during the week, and his reasons for picking that word! Last week's word was Mercy. Tune in next week to hear the Word Of The Day!
DJ BIO: DJ FREZA
My Name Is Brandon Anda(AKA DJ FRESA) J .My Family Is Mostly Made Up of Mexicans. I Am Not So Good At Studying. My Feelings About School Is Like Living In Prison For The Rest Of Your Life.
I Always Learn Best If I Listen To Music because it makes me think for a more longer period of time.
I Enjoy Playing Soccer And Watching TV.I Love CHOCOLATE!!!! And Ice Cream too!!!! <3>
My Favorite Subjects Are Art, Drama, Humanities, and PE because in PEI could play any sport I want to like soccer.
Some Day I will Become An Architect because its something I'm interested in.
TUNE INTO WYPI AND LISTEN FOR ME ON ROE RADIO!!!!!DJ Bio: Mike #1
All I need is ONE MIKE!! Mike # 2 in the foreground, as Mike #1 types in the back!
My name is Michael Lopez, but some people call me Mike. My birthday is on December 6th, 1992. My family is made up of my parents, my brother and sister, and lastly me. We hail from the indegionous people of El Salvador.
I am very interested in Parkour, a French martial art, and fighting. I don’t like being bored or holding still, I like to be moving which is why I like Parkour.
I have a special friend whose name is Plank… he is a 2x4 piece of wood who I can always talk to. I am very good at learning fight styles. I am not so good at following directions. I spend a lot of time on rooftops thinking or training.
I would like to learn more about cars since I’d like to my own shop. I have a few good and bad habits, but I don’t really know them. The proudest moment of my life would be when I won my first fight way back when.
The very best movie I have ever seen would have to be Unleashed. Jet Li is a very good actor, even aside from his amazing fight scenes. People can’t seem to see or realize that simply because of his language barrier. His accent in English movies doesn’t help much, but he is still a good actor.
Be sure to be on the lookout of the Mike & Mike show on wypi_radio_show
DJ BIO:MIKE#1
My name is Michel Romero. Some people call me Mike. My birthday is on May 21st of 1993. My family is made up of 5 members, my dad, mom, my three sisters and me. I am interested in video games, movies, and books. I don’t like hard work, sitting or standing still.
I am very good at video games. I am not so good at sports. I spend a lot of time on the computer. I would be much better of if people didn’t bug me as much as they do. I get really angry when people get things wrong. what I mean by that is that I get angry when I see someone fail and I know that they can do a much better job.
If I could only change the way I procrastinate I'd be much better of. The proudest moment of my life was when I snuck into Staples Center for free to see the Lakers game. Some day I would like to create a video game.
The very best movie that I have ever seen is Godzilla Final Wars. My feelings toward school are mostly negative, because I always get bad grades. I often wish that I was smarter or more athletic, I'm working on it.
I always learn better if I'm with a friend. I find it difficult to learn when I'm alone. If it was possible to change one thing about myself it would definitely be how I often procrastinate. I enjoy eating, watching TV, playing video games, surfing the net, listening to music, and reading. I am very happy when things tend to go my way. The most important person in my life would be my parents. My favorite subject is graphic design. The subject I don’t like are English, and science. When I look closely in the mirror I often see my true self.
Be sure to listen to wpyi radio for the MIKE AND MIKE SHOW.

Gamers Unite! Video Game Show coming soon!
Several of our hosts, here at WYPI, are video game fanatics, with Modern Warfare 2 being a in house favorite! We have been known to have video game competitions, after school and plan on having shows dedicated to video gaming. Hopefully, we can talk about this topic as well!
Can a Video Game Be a Work of Art? By KATHERINE SCHULTEN NY Times
quote:::
"In his review, Chris Suellentrop quotes Roger Ebert, who wrote a blog post this year called “Video Games Can Never Be Art” in which he stated, “no one in or out of the field has ever been able to cite a game worthy of comparison with the great dramatists, poets, filmmakers, novelists and composers.”
Students: Tell us about your experiences with video games, and your opinion about their potential as works of art in their own right. Do you, too, find them addictive? Which do you think are the best in terms of how they stack up as “ambitious works of narrative fiction”? Do you agree with Mr. Bissell that there is a big generational divide on the potential of video games?
Students 13 and older are invited to comment below. Please use only your first name. For privacy policy reasons, we will not publish student comments that include a last name.
WYPI RADIO IS FINALLY HERE!! Listen to our test show!!
Hooray!! The test show was a success and it looks like the newly formed WYPI team is ready to rock and roll! Our test run of the new high school radio show, hosted at Camino Nuevo High School, aired live on Friday, July 16th, 2010.
Students began using their cell phone free time" to call into the show and introduce themselves to the world!! Our maiden voyage was filled with lots of pauses, giggles and hilarious answers to our questions. Next week should be very interesting!
Brenda B. was our first caller, giving us her candidly funny response to the question "Why I don't like school" (”Teachers are LAME!”) Jesse Rodriquez aka Bean asked a few interview questions with Yasmeen, our second interview host!
German called in for a interview, telling us that he spends time in construction and his favorite TV show is South Park(loves Mr Hanky!) Marina and Nicole also called in, as did Bryan Aka Tarzan, who asked a few interview questions.
Brandon Anda aka DJ Freza called in for his interview! He said that they call him DJ Freza because he exercises a lot and his face turns bright red when he does. He spends a lot of his time playing soccer and gets mad when people diss him. He loves to go to parties and raves. He considers his brother his most important person in his life.
Tank, our graphic artist extraordinaire was a bit reluctant to talk on the show. I guess he likes to let his amazing art work do the talking for him.
Dolly and Jesseell said hello to us as we took over the Sony Study labs for a second.
Augustin G. and Lyn (aka Lilly) manned the switch boards in the Sony Lab while DJ Bean was our techie, with Jeffrey and Nelson aka Fur Ball standing by.
Amilcar R. stopped by the Sony Lab to say hello to Fur Ball and I, as did Brenda S, with a great introduction interview. She told us about her life, her family and her favorite class is, Math, and why.
Nicole returned to tell us a little bit about herself, but someone pranked us for a second and confused our host!! (Our first prank call..yeah!!) Brenda talked to us some with with Sefora, who was excited to talk to us (kind of) but we gave her a pass as we ended our show.
Lyn took the DJ booth and played “Video Phone” by Beyonce and Lady Gaga and Major Lazor as we ended the show, a total success!!
Take a listen to the show and tune in on Monday!!

WYPI High School Radio! Coming to an iPod near you soon!
Welcome to the WYPI High School Radio blogsite!!
Radio broadcasting has been a part of high school curriculum for years.
