FINIAN ' S RAINBOW Most people do not realize ex- actly how much work is put in to a musical production. First, the nerve-wracking song and dance try-outs are held. Then, the sets are built and painted. Doing this well is impor- tant for the sets to be both at- tractive and effective. Rehearsals and more rehears- als are the key to a successful and enjoyable play. This re- quires many after-school hours and a lot of personal sacrifice to meet this rigid schedule. And what would a musical be without music? The orchestra has to know cue lines to begin songs and remember to play qui- etly. These areas together com- prise the musical production. -Jeanne Glenn o The orchestra put in many hours of practice and performance.
