ii- if tl! SING UWHAT IS THIS THING CALLED SING? Sing is the Freshman peering into the auditorium, waiting for his cue. Sing is the electricity bristling through the chorus as the band swings into the overture. Sing is sitting in the balcony, watching the other classes, and biting your finger- nails. Sing is tears. It's the meeting when the chorus can finally do it without the song sheets. It's Terry Wolfe, stamping her foot, knock- ing the light over, keeping us in perfect harmony for three years. It's witches, choking on the fumes of their own brew. It's laughter. This thing is Bob Front, Jeff Sussman, and Ronnie Margo- lis blowing whistles, yelling, turning variant hues from violet to chartreuse, and decidedly earning the title Sing Leader. This thing is Uncle Weatherbee nearly tripping over his scarf and bouncing onto a six-foot thermometer. This thing is eating pickles and potato chips for lunch at solo meetings. This thing is exhilaration. It's studying the judges' faces for some sign of recognition. This thing is the line that the scr' t committee can't rhyme, the steps that the chi grap4 r can't work out, the first slcei tha s ouil of THIS CRAZY THING CALLED SlNG. This crazy thing is Terry Schutte telling us, in all apparent seriousness, that the scenery burned. This crazy thing is makeup, running from tears and melted by lights. This crazy thing is green stockings, tin foil antennas, and slickers. This crazy thing is the pounding hearts during the Thunder Dance, the surprise in the audience at the appearance of red and white shakers, the cessation of breathing when the rocket ship nearly misfires. This crazy thing is relief. It's the first frenetic l'theme meeting, the last dress re- hearsal when nothing goes right, the expressions on the faces of Lois Beder and Bob Rockfeld as they announce that the Seniors won Madison's I lth Annual Sing. Most of all, it's the knowledae that. ll On. Jrilyn Weiss
