An air of excitement arose at audition time, with over 100 eager students hoping to land a part in the ever popular musical. At the auditions, each student was required to demonstrate his or her singing, dancing, and acting ability. Gathered around the table. The Jcls and the Sharks listen to their leaders, Travis Sollinger and Jeff Womer, discuss the big rumble. Grabbing his girl by the arm, Jeff Womer tries to get Laura Lundquist to go home while he attends a war council. Enraged, Rob Fox verbally attacks a group of lousy hoodlums . Yelling at the gang, Scott McMullen tries to psyche up his comrades before a fight. About a week later, the 69-member cast was announced, and shortly thereafter they began their six-week rehearsal schedule; however, it got off to a rocky start because of the flu epidemic and suddenly, six weeks was a very short time. The cast was an energetic one and most of the members got together on their own to rehearse dance numbers and whatever else needed practice. Somehow, with everyone's dedication and hard work, it all pulled together perfectly for the two-night presentation which drew over 1200 people. The cast of PVesf Side Story was, in many ways, the most unique ever. The overall size was considerably smaller, but Mr. McConnell preferred it to a larger cast because it allowed for more intricate character development. Another interesting part of the play was the fact that three of the five lead characters were participating in their first OCHS musical. Mr. McConnell was also impressed with the talent of the underclassmen, which led him to choose Fiddler on the Roof for the next year. Some students who'd never been in a musical before did wonderful work onstage, and our veterans had a chance to play roles that showcased their talents. - Mr. McConnell The play was choreographed by Mrs. Susie McConnell, who has been in charge of the dancing since 1974. This year was her favorite year because there were no major complications. She also praised the cast's dancing ability. She attributed this to the amount of good dance studios in the area and also to the self-confidence the students had in themselves. AH 25
