American Entertainment With an International Flavor Marks ’71 Variety Show A charwoman, portrayed by Margaret Fernung, discovered a golden key that opened a blue and gold music box and unlocked the beginning of the “Musical Varities of 1971.” Twelve lively minstrels started the evening with song, dance, and slapstick comedy. Master of Rhythm, Tom Moser, was the highlight of this section as he played “Moanin” on the organ. Mr. Frank Parente, band director, was the coordinator of this jolly section. Ten Indian braves, Indian maidins, and a county mounty were next on the bill of fare. Mrs. Tudy Smith choreographed a ballet and a spirited dance for the segment. Mr. Clifford Brugger directed the choir of Indians as they sang, “The Indian Love Call.” Jackie Atwell and Mr. Joel Hamilton, assistant band director, produced “350 Miles from Nashville.” Corny jokes, a fashion show, and Mike Rennier’s “A Boy named Sue” made this section truly unique. “International Music” was the theme for the final segment. The Groov Band brought memories of America’s “Big Band Era.” Other countries represented were Russia, Germany, England, and France.
