(feat. The Burney Twins!)

It is Dolphin Day! Once a month we interview members of the Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District. Last week we started with yours truly, moi', go back and watch it. It was pretty funny.
This week is also going to be funny because I've got two pretty funny people with me. Maddie and Sam Burney. I'm not going to tell you anything else about them because they're going to tell you!
1. How long have you been a Dolphin?
Maddie and Sam: Since kindergarten.
2. Alright so what's your role? Who are you as Dolphins now What do you do? What grade are you in?
Maddie: I'm a...well we're both seventh graders.
Sam: We're in the theater program.
Maddie: I do sports.
Katie: Sports, which sports?
Maddie: Field hockey and softball.
Katie: Okay, awesome. Alright, Sam what else do you like to do at school?
Sam: My favorite class is science, I'm a nerd, giant nerd.
Katie: Oh, I love that! I have a degree in Zoology by the way. Don't ask me why I'm selling houses. That's a whole, long story.
3. What is your favorite thing about being a Dolphin? A D-Y Dolphin.
Maddie: I love the theater program.
Sam: Yeah, the theater program and the band is amazing.
Katie: I'm hearing a lot about the band and the theater program.
Maddie: We just have a great music program overall.
Katie: The arts seem to be really strong.
Maddie and Sam: Yes.
Katie: So tell me more about the band Sam.
Sam: Well, there, it's a band. (laughs) Katie: Well, what's so great about it?
Sam: Well, we do a lot of fun songs, and it's really, just a really good band, with a lot of great people, who do really hard songs.
Maddie: I think we have a really great, inspirational director. He's hilarious and he's always doing fun activities that are learning, but also fun, like warming up and not talking for 15 minutes. Trying to figure out what he's going to say.
Sam: I think that one was just a punishment.
Maddie: It was hard!
Katie: That's awesome.
Maddie: I think it's great because it's where I met one of my best friends playing flute together, Olivia Pendleton. Her dad is actually the director of the band at D-Y.
Katie: At the high school, right?
Maddie: Yes.
Katie: Yeah, and Sam, you were telling me about the high school band and music program. What were you saying before?
Sam: The high school is amazing. They top the charts in the country for high school bands.
Katie: That's what I understand. Yeah, that's awesome. You think you're going to join that band, maybe?
Maddie and Sam: Yeah, I think we both are.
Katie: That's awesome, so glad to hear that!

Katie: Ooh, we have a both-er over here.
5. Dogs or cats?
Maddie and Sam: Dogs.
6. Last book you read?
Maddie: The Giver.
Katie: Did you read it for school, or because you felt like it?
Maddie: For school, but if I read it for fun, it would be just as good.
Katie: Awesome, I did not have to read that book, but I heard it was good. Sam, what about you?
Sam: I read Ready Player One, before the movie came out. It was much different than the movie.
Katie: Is it really?
Sam: Yes, much better.
Katie: Did someone make you read it?
Sam: No.
Katie: You just read it because you wanted to. That's awesome, you guys are rockstars.
