He's Hans Chr'staTn Anderson. Backstage. cast and crew members are making last minute preparations. Weeks of work and ef- fort are at stake. The house lights dim and the au- dience quiets to a low whisper as the orchestra begins playing. The curtains open and the 1983 Eden Prairie High School musical - Hans Chris- tian Anderson is underway. The production was a true success even though a number of firsts were involved this year. A young cast, difficult dialogue, and extensive choreography made this play a real challenge to both cast and crew. People who had never danced. or acted before found themselves after school almost every day trying to quickly master these new skills. One cast member, Ann LeDuc, summed up her feelings on closing night. Everyone worked well together, but still had a fun time getting it done.

After hours of practicing, letter writing and few telephone calls, the band was allowed to do their Fall show in front of a few thousand spectators at halftime of the St. Cloud College Bowl game.
