John Negri commented: ' The Variety Show was really exciting! I think there is nothing more fun than singing and dancing for an audience ' Variety Show Gets Rave Review! This year the Variety Show had many entertaining acts which the crowd, filled to capacity in the auditorium, really en- joyed. The swing choir performed first, singing and dancing to We ' re Doing a Show, Singing in the Rain, and Rhythm of Life. Senior Mary Fozo commented, We worked really hard for weeks before the show in order to get a new routine together. It was very exciting performing for the large audience. For the second act sophomore Beth Piatkowski, who was accompanied on the piano by Amy Thornton, sang What a Feeling and Rose. For a break from the music in the show, junior Joel Thomp- son did a skit pretending to hold a conver- sation with Abe Lincoln. The audience really liked his mock conversation as well as the next act when Marigrace Patton did an Irish dance. Marigrace said, I ' ve been dancing for eleven years now, and those big crowds don ' t affect me any longer. For the third act of the show the music began once again as senior Brian Barber sang Just the Way You Are. He was followed by a skit titled A Fairy Story. This skit was performed by Aaron Bob- son, Jenny Dahlins, Darin Dahms, Jenny Grimm, Laura Musser, and Joel Thomp- son. They acted out a skit concerning a terrible dragon. Next, Jerry Peddycord sang Annie ' s Song and played the guitar. Then Aaron Bobson, Jenny Grimm and Joel Thomp- son walked out on stage, plugging their noses and hitting their throats, sounding like genuine bagpipes. The audience roared and sophomore Dana Hostetler exclaimed, Their skit was very funny and original. Nobody expected anything like it. For the last act of the night, the well- known band Still Fall played many popu- lar songs which rocked the auditorium. Senior Chris Tordi commented, 1 thought the band was the best act of the show. The band consisted of Chris Hos- kins, Gary Jones, Nick Linarello, and Ray Lukowski. Some of the songs they played were Running with the Devil, Lay It Down, Hot Bloooded, and Loving Every Minute of It. The students in the audience stood up and danced to the mu- sic and everybody seemed to have a good time. 1 he swing sing and da all de -We Doing new costu Show.- Variety Show 25
