Not following the pattern Preparing to tap of Senior Show Offs of the past, Command Perfor- dance is Sheila La b . ., - ngne I mance cut a design from a new cloth. It had enter- tainment for parents and grandparents as well as teenagers. The unique talent of each person was evi- dent in every act. Stephanie Tiemann brought Broad- way to the JV stage singing Memories from the musical Cats. Louis Franklin wrote, composed and sang It Couldn't Be Done. Rodney Matthews did a serious monologue about Change in Life. Chris Berube wrote and acted in the opener, In the Beginn- ing, and Street Story.

'j.j. wrote the pieceg then we learned it. It took a while, commented Sheri Potcinske, one ofthe Drum Corps members. The diversity of the Class of '84 even permeated the music of the show. It went from the rock-n-roll beat of Sexy and 17 to the country twang of I Wish You Could Have Turned Your Head to the rhythm and blues sound of the Mary jane Girls to the soft, mellow song of The Old Songs to the marimba solo of Yello After the Rain. Senior Show Offs had something for everyone. Imagination was the key to every aCt'S formation. We all got together and decided to make up something funnyg therefore, we came up with the Commercial Zone, said Rodney Matthews. School Feud was the brainchild of Kim Fredrick and Deanna Haebeger with help from other members of the cast like Melanie Brelsford. We continued changing the act right up until the week of the show. Ms. Alyea helped us a lot by telling us what we needed to work on and what she thought the audience would respond to, said Melanie. There were the always acts of poking fun at Cy-Creek and Cy-Fair in School Feud, the JV principals in Principals, and the morning an- nouncements in the Thej-Team which had thejV students laughing in the aisles. The seniors had a great time putting the show together, making friends, and rekindling old friendships. Deanna Haebeger said, It helped you get to know people that you would probably never meet. It also helped you get involved with making the prom a Success. It was really the only time all year when I got to carry on a decent conversation with people I didn't have classes with, remarked Melanie Brelsford. Although the seniors had fun participating in Command Perfor- mance, the show taught people what performers go through to put on a show for them, commented Louis Franklin. With hard work and determination, the seniors and their advisors put on a show which raised the money needed to finance the senior prom. Dancing to Sexy and 17 by the Stray Cats, Anna Lee and Daniel Penaloza strut their stuff on stage. Deciding they need help, Karin Sorenson, Tanya Stork, Lewis Goins, Andy YY, Chris McClendon and Luis Gibbs call on The j-Team to stop the morning announcements. senior show offs Portraying Cy-Fair in School Feud, Kim Fredrick gives hostess Teresa Maywald cowhorns while fellow country friends, Lira 'fried chicken Hopper, Pa! grits and bag jawls O'Brian, Rachelle tacos Bjelde and jay brisket Woodby cheer her on.
