By Newspaper Staff SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017 - With a new school year comes some new faces to New Hope Academy. The R.E.A.L. Deal would like to introduce our newest teachers and staff members. Ebony Crosdale, our newest teacher at NHA, commutes two and a half hours from Brooklyn, New York because she wanted to indulge in dif- ferent environments and cultures. Being merely weeks into her new position, Ebony’s first impres- sion of the school was very homey; She thought the staff erw e friendly and above all felt comfort- able. Prior to teaching English at NHA, she was an after school media arts teacher and English tutor. In her leisure time, she taught hip-hop dancing. Ebony did not always intend on being an English teacher. Actually in high school, she planned on being a lawyer, but changed her ca- reer path in college to education.

What is even more interesting is that the entire soundtrack for the game was record- ed in a live studio. The soundtrack is all original jazz recordings, composed by Kris Maddigan. Studio MDHR, the creators of ‘Cuphead’, explained that they wanted the soundtrack to be, “Just as authentic as the artstyle.” They also expressed that they, “Wanted to keep the theme consistent.” According to a Q&A, the instrumentals came from a full 13-piece big band, a 10-piece ragtime ensemble, a solo pianist, singers, and “a few little surprises we threw in 6 TUESDAY 11.21.2017 entertainment R.E.A.L.
