liglllg Practice adds a WWUU WH UHHHEIE H WH for student performance As the seats filled and the audience grew quiet, the fears of many talented students were aroused. The tension in the audience grew with curiosity, as the stomaches of the performers grew tight backstage The lights dimmed as an evening of dancing, acting, and singing was about to begin. Out of the fifty-seven students that participated in the variety show, there were a total of twenty-one different acts. Although they did not get to spend much time up on stage, it seemed to be well worth the effort. Our band practiced at least twice a week for about two months, said junior Dave Wendell. Even though some acts did not spend much time on preparation the quality of their performance did not suffer. We really pulled it all together at the last minute, but I really enjoyed it, stated sophomore Tracy Jensen. The minutes on stage were timely but the time that the perfomiers spent off stage seemed to be endless. REHEARSAL MADE IT .ll-l better. Junior Emcees Christian Cashman and Malt Butzow perfect their introductions for the Variety Show. iPhoto by: B. Schoppmanj The variety show was o good leorlzirzg etperierzce and alot of fun. Senior Todd Samara Variety Show The performers enjoyed themselves both on and off stage. It was great how everyone really got along, said sophomore Leslie Shimkus. Wendell seemed to agree, I thought it was a lot of fun, and we are definately going to do it again next year. Besides the butterflies in the stomaches, the audience didn't cause the performers any problems. It was the pure thrill of being up on stage in front of a critical audience that made me want to perform in the first place, replied Wendell. There were some students that found themselves in two acts. Being in two acts gave me a chance to use two different styles of acting, said Jensen. The auditorium filled with clapping as the last act departed from the stage. The relief of their performance being done allowed the students to wipe the sweat from their brow, and plan for the following year. Kelly Corya- Student Life Writer 1 4 f i
