Q Mrs. Holloway, what comes next? ... Where are we practicing today? ... The wheels fell off the piano again. After over four months and many hours of practice, practice, practice, the night of Dec. 17 is finally now . This is the real thing, there is a gym full of real people out there eating and are they eating. A hundred and some people, Mrs. Holloway said. Three rows of tables ought to be enough. I'm sorry, but we're going to have to ask those of you who have finished to please move to the bleachers so those that are still in line can have a place to sit. We'll try to find some chairs for you. Somebody run to Tote-A-Way and buy spaghetti, bread and everything else we're out of, and hurry, there's 200 more people out there. Mrs. Holloway, when are we going to start? As soon as everyone eats, don't break your candy canes. Such were the thoughts and sounds of the Red Oak Concert Choir's first musical, Godspell. Presented as a Christmas program, the production featured solos, dance routines, special effects and even a spaghetti dinner and good entertainment that over 400 people came to see and' enjoy. The production was directed by Judy Holloway, assisted by Karen Vavra, drill team director, who worked out most of the choreography and taught it to the group. Choir members helped with advertising, decorations and planning. Their parents and the National Honor Society cooked and served a delicious dinner to the guests. Much work and time went into Godspell and it all paid off when it was finally over. Y'all were so good! Thanks, Don't leave 'till the gym is clean. We finally get to eat. Mrs. Holloway, when do we start working on UIL contest music? Godspell 13
