As the audience settles back for a lively evening of entertainment, little is realized about the hours of constant preparation needed for an enjoyable Christmas Show. Behind-the-scenes work is too often taken for granted, much less publicly appreciated than those clear lilting voices enrapturing the audience. Preparing costumes is a long, tedious process — almost everything is scraped together and stitched up by students. Scenery also takes much work and this year the crew took a unique approach. With the help of Mr. Gene Brown, students made slides from pictures in books, magazines, posters, and calendars and projected them as images on the set. In the frantic last minutes of preparation, students scurry around looking for safety pins, for costume emergencies, testing the lighting and sound, and worrying about imperfect details. Remarks music instructor Mrs. Harriet Bruce, “The students have to have a respect for the cultural arts to work to the extent that they do, and this is what makes it a beautiful music experience. Hats off to Thomas Dale Music Students!” Anxiously waiting for the show to start, B. J. Clouthier listens to Mrs. Bruce’s instructions. Bert Boisseau, Paul Smith, Tony Boisseau, Warren Briggs, Toney Allen, Floyd Miles, Brian McWilliams, Thomas Bouldin sing “Rudolph.” While Russian Christmas music plays, Scott Richards works the slide projector.
