Attraction by Tracy Crockett tion A musical in the future is planned. Miss AC . .shave a musical lf the musiool were held Jan Patton would like to direct a musicai put on by the students. She feels her background training is strongest in this area. ivir. Larry Winter, principal, said, 1 encourage having a musical and am be- hind it all the way. To have a musical has been presented to the district, which is wiiling, but thevbudget cannot find roomfi To put on a quality musicaismany expen- sive things such as a portable stage, lights, and props would be needed. From in- structor Patton's point of view, without a portable stage, theres no wily possible to. the gym stage, the acaoustics would be quite poor. Also, the present stage fighting is very poor. Those lights would have to be totally redone. To do this would be quite expensive, so the money, fispent on lights-Tshoulci beiiiquality iightsrl 'which would be usable for ci portobiei stage. The most important point Patton points out is, With the extensive chore- ography ancl staging that would be nec-. essary, it would be impossible to work, the fliniited staaeirliired' But, she says that with cr portable 'stage in the commons area, the dancing could ex- ind onto the floor. Another important factor is the confiict withthe othietic practices at the some tlmerythe fear of. props being damaged rsiinvoiveci tooq Considering that a musical could not be put on until the proper equipment was acquired, a variety show was put on to take the place of a musical. A musical invoives a lot of time. devotion, and ex-- penses. But, with the rightsupport and director, it could be a great experience T for all. cHoiRfcLAssEsfo3
