Candlelight set the mood for the suc- cessful winter concert as the musicians entered the dimly lit gymansium. Christ- mas music was presented by the com- bined choirs, the concert band and the orchestra. Both traditional and familiar numbers as well as lesser known works were presented by the groups separately and as a combined unit. Keeping with tra- dition the audience stood as the first notes of the Hallelujah Chorus” filled the room. The familiar Christmas anthem has taken on a special meaning for the Henley concerts. The audience is invited to come down to the risers and join the singers in giving praise to the Christmas season. 17

 Your attention if you will, I’m professor Harold Hill and I'm here to organize a River City Boys Band. With these words Harold Hill, played by Brian Henzel, wrapped the citizens of River City, Iowa, and the audience of Hen- ley High School around his little finger and led them through the songs, dances and action of The Music Man presented by the music and drama departments. He was able to convince Marian the Librarian, played by Tammy Bowden and Tina Mack, that there really was magic in what he did and said. Highlights of this excellent production included songs by two quartets. The male quartet consisted of two Henley alumni, Bruce Durant and Joe Walker, and two teachers, Blaine Mack and Steve Thickett. The name E-Wart took on new meaning as the mayor, Tracy Kiger, never seemed to get it just right. The “Pick-a-Little ladies were led by the charming mayor's wife, Pam Ross. While the other salesmen in the area were trying to prove that Harold Hill was a fake, Harold and his accomplice Marcellus, Lenny Moorman, sold the town members instruments, uniforms, and instruction books. The play ended with music by both the grade school and high school bands.

 iEspejo, espejo en la alcoba, soy lo mas hermosa de toda? When the mirror answered, the vicious Queen Victoria, played by Cindy Poole, sent Snow White into the traditional Blanca Nieves story (Snow White) presented by the Spanish class in an all Spanish pro- duction. Even the non-Spanish speaking spectators could under- stand the well acted out and well known plot. Mr. Goresgner's slightly revised version included the addition of Winnie the Pooh, played by Korina Hall, as she helped heighten Snow White’s morale. The clever choroegraphy by Karen Wimmer added a touch of pizaz. The entire cast worked together to create the colorful props and costumes to tie together an impressive performance. The Theatre Lab I class presented an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Red Shoes. The play was about a little girl who wanted a pair of red shoes so desperately that she was willing to sell her soul to the Devil for them. In the conclusion, she realized that having friends is more important. ironically, the Theatre Lab class also desperately needed a pair of red shoes the day of the performance. But, of course — the show had to go on. A pair of white shoes was painted with red shoe polish. One member of the audience even com- mented on how pretty the shoes were. Along with the dilemma of the shoes, sets and the costumes were created by the lab class. Leads were played by Teresa Weast, Kris Dees, Denise Page, and Teresa Stevens. 18 —THE RED SHOES
