Music Department Presents Carousel The Lakeland Music Depart- ment presented the musical Carousel to a sell-out audi- ence on May 2-3. Carousel unfolds a strange and beautiful love story told in unforgettable songs from the hearts and pens of Rodg- ers and Hammerstein. The story begins in a carnival at a quaint New England Sea- port. Billy Bigelow, a hand- some young barker meets Julie Jordan, a girl who works at Bascombe's knitting mill. When Billy falls in love with Julie, the carousel owner, Mrs. Mullin, dismisses him. Julie has also been dismissed from the mill. Being in des- perate need of money, Billy attempts to rob the wealthy mill owner, Mr. Bascombe. However, he fails and to avoid humiliation and capture, he kills himself. ln heaven Billy finds himself before the judges who consent to give him a single chance to return to earth and redeem himself. While there, he gives new hope and courage to his wife and youngdaughter. Songs from the musical, such as You'll Never Walk Alone , lf I Loved You , Mr. Snow , June is Bustin' Out All Over , and What's the Use of Won'drin' were very well done by the orchestra, cho- rus, and soloists.
