The Music Man' Brings out the crowds, combines man talents The Music Man was one of those musicals that promised to draw more crowds than the ones in the past, and it did. As usual the matinee was a sell out and the Friday and Saturday night per- formances were given to a near capac- ity crowd. These crowds were the largest ever attending a play at Blue Springs High School said Ms. Gay Warnock theater director. The main character of the musical was Harold Hill, a traveling salesman charlaton, who cannot read music or play an instrument although he sells them particularly to marching bands. Professor Hill, traveled to River City, Iowa and tried to convince the townspeople that they needed a big band while charming all the ladies in the town, especially the piano instruc- tor Marian Paroo. Patt Naudet senior, played the role of Professor Hill while the town librar- ian, Marian Paroo was played by Sally Flies, a junior. One female quartet, con- sisting of Tina Allen, Michelle Mead- ows, Suzee Sloan, and Cindy Prince were the Pick-a-Little Talk-a-Little La- dies of the Musical. Also a male quar- tet. The School Board, consisted of Ronnie Ring, Ken Hammond, David Joslyn, and Mike Dryer. These two quartets provided much of the back- ground music for the musical. Dawn Williams a senior, showed her talent while singing and using an Irish accent IS THIS GOODBYE? Harold Hill and Marion Paroo, Patt Naudet and Sally Files, meet on the footbridge before the parade. to bring out her character, Mrs. Parco, D'Ann Boman, senior, another main character, played Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn, a crazy and zany character. Patt Naudet also a senior, used facial expressions and smooth talking to bring out his characters personality, Harold Hill. a Mr. Dennis Tuggle and Ms. Gay Warnock the directors of the musical put a great deal of time and effort into the musical. They worked together for many hours and late nights for two sol- id months. Dawn Williams, senior, said, Mr Tuggle and Ms. Warnock de- serve a tremendous thanks for going out of their way to help us. This musical not only involved stu- dents from the high school but also elementary children. One stand-out was Mark Landas who played Win- throp. lt took a lot of bravery to get up on a stage and sing by himself. The children worked very well with us, said Dawn Williams. While most of the audience was standing on its feet clapping and laughing, back stage a lot of crying was done. I started crying because I knew l'd never do it again, said Suzee Sloan, senior. Most of the crew mem- bers felt the same way. Sally Ries, ju- nior said, l hope next year's musical will be just as good and twice as much fun! Becky Cravens, senior, said, It was like WOW we reallv did it! Fan Play 25
