f THE HILLS ARE ALIVE Hiwassee Presents “The Sound of Music Voice lessons, long rehearsals, new dances, remembering lines, little sleep, and much late-night studying — all of these were ways of life for students involved in the winter pro¬ duction of THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Despite this rigorous schedule, the musical was a success. Two months worth of hard work went into THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Members of the cast had not only regular scene rehearsals but also spe¬ cial singing and choreography ses¬ sions. Special auditions had to be held for the parts of the Von Trapp children, too. The day of the first performance finally arrived. Shows were per¬ formed for two sold-out matinees and three night performances. All the built-up tension, anxiety, and ner¬ vousness were slowly put away and the play, that had been a hit as a Broadway play and as a movie, was brought to life on Hiwassee’s stage. The hard work had more than paid off. By curtain call Saturday night, one could feel that the hills were def¬ initely alive with the sound of music. — Michelle Gonzales Happy Huns! The Von-Trapp family singers perform be¬ fore their daring getaway. 24 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS
