Back to the Future Borrowing liberally from the movie of the same name, Back to the Future was the theme of this year ' s Nostalgia Night. Brian Lau- tenbach, Sally Perkins, Joe Maniglia and Brian Bartow split the emcee duties for the evening. The emcees with Dirk Rowley opened the show with a send-up of Back to the Future, detailing youthful Jay Kesler ' s attempts to win the fair Janie from the bully Biff Wheaton. The Faculty Four, featuring Dr. Mark Slow Hand Cosgrove on lead guitar, opened the musical portion of the show with a blistering rendition of Johnny B. Goode. Mike Yoder and Greg Beaverson followed, with their cover of the Everly Brothers ' Bye Bye Love and Dream. Swallow Robin offered some comic relief with their version of Gilligan ' s Island, featuring one of the homeliest Gingers likely to be seen for a while. Right before intermission, Clyde The King Parker shook the audience from any complacency with his high-powered version of Blue Suede Shoes. After intermission, Robert Rottet and Doug Mantha excited the crowd with Oh Boy. Five Swell Guys, in perfect harmony, took the crowd Up the Ladder. As the evening drew to a close, the audience wanted a memorable send-off. They weren ' t disappointed. The men from Pent- house worked the crowd into a frenzy with their fully choreographed cover of Rock and Roll Music. It was then up to Joey and the Belltones to close the show. And what a closing it was. With Joe Belushi Maniglia handling the lead vocals, they brought the house down with their version of Shout. All in all, excitement was high, injuries were few, and a good time was had by all. 22 Nostalgia Night
