Professionalism is rore but not ot Choctaw! In January the Choctaw Auditorium came olive with the Thallon Honor Soci- ety and Jazz Ensemble's musical pro- duction of The Sound of Music”. Written by Rogers and Hammersteln, If was a love story with undertones of the Ger- man Invasion of Austria. For three months before opening night, the Tho- llon actors and actresses remained after school and stayed late at night to prac- tice their parts. The Jazz Ensemble worked hard on their musk, and the light and sound crews worked on all of the technicalities. Props were gathered together, costumes were laboured over, tried on, and laboured over some more, and make-up was put on and tried out under the spotlights. The stage set was built by Mr. Middleton's and Mr. Marel- ll's shop classes. It was painted by Honor Art and was divided Into the Von Trapp Villa and Nonburg Abbey, with the Aus- trian mountains rising from behind. The family terrace was located in the pit in front of the audience for an asfhetic ef- fect, and was complete with bushes, shrubs, and a flower covered gazebo. When the students were not on stage or working with their music, they studied fiercely ot a study fable. The week be- fore opening night, the hardest grind of all, was also the week In which six- week tests were scheduled. The hard work and practice of all the groups paid off, however, for the show was a grand success. People from Alabama and Mis- sissippi, as well as Fort Walton came to watch the students perform their nearly- professional magic. — Jono Guzolok
