A variety of costumes were worn by the students, as they did not have to be dressed in keeping with the theme. Students danced to the way-out rhythms of Oedipus, a group from Lincoln, Nebraska. Amarilys Chacon, our AFS student from Guatemala, was crowned queen of the event. Her king was Kei. Collier.

The concert band presented their eighth annual Marianna Jennings Concert, and six music students were selected to participate in the Hastings Honor Choir and Band.
