Musical inclination . . . epitome . . . The Madrigal Singers of Bedford High, comprised one of the many prides of our music department. As in year’s past, six- teen members of A Capella Choir were chosen to be Madrigal Singers. As a class, the group met each morning during first period and rehearsed their music. Arrayed in burgundy and rose the group presented their songs with style to a variety of audi- ences. There was no credit given. However, each member had the distinct honor of being a Madrigal. Of all the choral groups at BHS, A Capella was the oldes, largest and still the most popular because of its wide sense of students and musical style. First row: P. Ward low. A.

uerade “How’s ihc matress business Lorraine ... ?” Banjo, (Dave Santoli) asks Lorraine (Roseanne Danko) during the fall play. “Go capture the penguins......yes.” Dr. Brad- ley, (Jim Fleming) replies to Mr. Whiteside’s (Mike Shimandle) unusual request. The outward appearance of another personality adds color to a successful play to help with finishing touches during the last minute rush. Finally, opening night arrived. Excite- ment, and apprehension ran high. As the last make-up touches were completed, hands began to sweat and shake, as curtain time drew closer. The director, Mrs. Costa, gave her last words of encouragement and headed for her seat in the audience. The cast stood alone. As everyone’s emotions climaxed, shouts of “Good Luck’’ and “Break a Leg!”, echoed in the performers’ ears. The curtain rose, act one, act two, time flashed by and before it was realized cur- tain call began. Cheers of congratulations were heard admist the applause as each member of the cast took a bow. The last curtain dropped. It was over! Success,... again! The memories remained, and .. . the new friends. Everyone involved walked away with a sense of pride, realizing they had reached a goal together. Walking on stage ... in front of an audience took guts, composure, and tal- ent. Every move was watched and judged critically. Thearts members considered that fun. That was what “Thearts’’ did best; per- form. But along with that there was much more. A production started out with casting. Try-outs were nerve-racking and competi- tive. Making the cast gave member each a sense of confidence and satisfaction along with the knowledge that weeks of dedica- tion and practice were ahead of them. The cast was only half of the story. The crews were the other side. Although not as glamorous, the dedication was still present. Costumes, publicity, and props were just a few. Stagecraft, a class here at BUS built the set and Thearts members joined in Student life Thearts 25
