 Lights . Camera Action! Backstage Hand me those cans of paint. I need to give this set another coat. Laboring from 2:30-9:30 each night, the backstage crew of Joseph built and painted sets, gathered props, sewed costumes, aimed lights, and rehearsed scores of music. During the two weeks preceding the performances, the 35 to 50 crew members were rarely found at home. Why would anyone give Darrell Huff gets a hair job between scenes for his Elvis performance. up so many evenings??? Stated Bob Colby of the lighting crew, I enjoyed being part of the show instead of just being in the audience. Jeff Autor, sound crew member, added, The enjoyment of seeing the show go well is the best part of doing any show. Crew members participated for many reasons, but one of the best was, I just can't sing! Backstage 29

The follow-through is the key — John Dossey perfects his place-kicking technique at football practice. Practice makes perfect for freshman band members as they perform in concert. Groundwork Have you ever experimented with a recipe? You know — a dash of this, a pinch of that!? Yet something still didn't seem quite right about the dish! It just didn't have the touch that mom gave it. Well, the touch” was probably practice. Practice is a major ingredient in any recipe. Whether the recipe is used in the kitchen, on the football field, in the music room, or in the art room, practice makes perfect. Said track and volleyball participant Joan Young, If you fail to practice, you fail to achieve. Through the years, Mr. Practice has received a bad rating. Not only has practicing been associated with boredom! It's received major re- views in the yawning, grunting and, last but not least, groaning sections in our lives. One has to realize, however, that through all the practicing we do, the end result is usually amazing. Junior Mike Small spent an average of four hours each day practicing his golf techniques. Remarked Mike, I enjoy practicing. You should try to be as good as you possibly can be. If you fail to practice, you don't get worse, but you don't get better either. So, the next time you're in the kitchen, and your dish doesn't turn out quite the way you wanted it to, don't give up! Practice! In time you'll make it perfect.
