Scottish music a focal point This year our music and drama departments again joined forces to present the musical, Brigadoon. Directors were Mrs. Bar- bara Gebhardt, Mr. James D. Smith, Mr. David Han- son, Mrs. Barb Hennings and Miss Debbie Kaverman. Tryouts for this year's production took place in January. First, students were required to par- ticipate in a singing audi- tion. The first set of call backs was made based on this. The remaining students were then taught some simple choreo- graphy. They also read and learned the Brigadoon music. Cast members were then selected based upon their performance. Practices began the following week with par- ticipants learning the music. Following this they started going over the choreography. Finally, these two elements were joined together about a month and a half before the performance. Actors and actresses spent many long hours practicing after school and on Sundays. Many long hours were also put into the set, publicity, lights and sound. Amazingly, everything came together for the group's first performance on March 20, and subse- quent performances on March 21 and 22. All three performances were before near sellout crowds who were very en- thusiastic about the overall outcome. Brigadoon 21
