The Sound Di Music The Sound of Music was presented on Feb. 4-6. lt was a lot of hard work, but the satisfaction of :eeing everything go well on stage made it well worth the trouble. - Wess Schoppa, This year's musical was the most successful ie to ever be presented, according to C.J. eslie, choir director.

Twyla Partin, senior, played the lead role of laria Rainer. lt's the best musical l've ever een in because the part of Maria came to life n the stage. lt was very trying because I have ever had to put so much into a show before. Opposite Partin was first year choir member lenn Coward, junior, who played Georg Von rapp. lt felt pretty good playing the lead ale. l had no idea what choir was going to be ke, but l got in and I felt accepted. lt took a it of work and responsibility because you had i work out your costume changes and cues on your own. Mary Holt, senior played the Mother Abbess. Besides playing a lead role, she also attended San Jacinto South half a day. lt was a lot of hard work because l would go to school all day, then stay after for practice until 10 or 11 at night, so I didn't feel much like doing homework.
