A Dream of a Production Students Perform Fiddler on the Roof In the beginning I dreamt that we were having a celebration of some kind. Everybody was there . . . and musicians too ... as Tevye whitely lied to his wife Golde. This was from the Dream Scene. It was about Tevye ' s imaginative lie to cover up his blessing for his daughter to marry the man she loved. Although he had to use lies for his mistake, he was successful in convincing Golde. Tevye ' s success in the Dream Scene mirrors the mastery of the Big Reds performance of Fiddler On The Roof. All three presentations were performed to near ca- pacity at St. Clair County Community College ' s Fine Arts building. According to Jeff Hall, I liked ' If I Were A Rich Man ' sung by Mike Sullivan because he did a very funny dance. Every- During the Dream Scene , Tina Clawson and Michael Sullivan sing Mazel Tov . Tina played Golde and Michael played Tevye . Mike was student council president and in Honors Band. one was surprised at what a good job the actors did, said Maryann Foxlee— ‘ teacher director, it was such a difficult perfor- mance. This was just some of the feedback the viewers gave after the play. They weren ' t just acting, they used real emotions. Also stated by Paul Keyser, My favorite actor was Tevye, because he was a good dancer. The actors put in about two hours of practice two months before the play and then three hours everyday before the actual production. The cast was like a big family, answered Ann Burkart, once it was all over we all hugged each other and felt like crying. It wasn ' t always fun, like spending an entire Saturday afternoon singing, replied Mike Sullivan, but we were all proud of the finished product. With all eyes on him, Michael Hedrick sits atop the roof. Michael belonged to the Marching Machine when not performing for the Drama Club. Learning why one should never trust an employer are Jodie Boughner and Becky Bodley. Tim Sassanella played Perchik . Fiddler on the Roof 29

Big Red Marching Machine Takes a First Division From warm-up circle to field of competition, the Big Red Marching Machine journeyed to a first division rating. With the entire marching band in one class, they were able to practice outside everyday when the weather was fair. All their practices, including Tuesday nights, began with the band members tuning their instruments in the warm-up circle. Spreading out on the football field, the band members took their posi- tions for the marching formations de- signed by Jerry Thorton, a professional drill writer hired by the band. The drill was enjoyable to teach because of the variety in it, said Mr. Clark, the band director. The pictures they formed changed as the band marched to the rhythm of their music. In They ' re Playing our Song, two trian- gles became two circles which spiraled to become a heart. The band marched in the International Day, Homecoming, and Santa Claus Parades. They performed their drills at all the home football games and away at the Marysville game. On October 14, the band went to Utica for the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association marching band festival. They entered as a Class A band and got a First Division rating. They are an exceptional, dedicated group. Marching band is hard work, but it ' s fun, said senior drum major Deana Cleland. Playing the PHHS Fight Song, the Marching Machine marches through downtown Port Huron in the Homecoming Day Parade. The Machine is featured in the parade every year. Marching in the St. Patrick ' s Day Parade, Kim Pack plays her clarinet. Despite heat, cold, rain, or snow, the Band and Drill teams march in all their parades. Kim is now a member of the Thunderbirds. 30 BRMM During Throwdown the band plays while the Display Flags and Thunderbirds execute a synchro- nized routine. Throwdown was a Jazz-Latin piece that was performed at all home games.
