DRAMA IN THE SPOTLIGHT Leading roles open up opportunities to shine As the lights died, the cur- tains began to pull away from each other, and the sweet notes of the orchestra radiated through the darkness. Like a sudden drop of crystal water, a light fell upon the stage. Slowly the stage absorbed the speck until it became light. Seconds later, characters appeared and the play began. This year s musical presenta tion was My Fair Lady, a musi cal adapted from George Ber nard Shaw's play. Pygmalion.

It was flattering but it also re- quired countless hours of hard work and determination.” The professor was played by senior Jeff Nielsen, who considered the opportunity an honor.

RATED BERT IN THE Orchestra was a favorite for all who participated. Whose funeral are you go- ing to? quipped a smart aleck Sophomore. His friend asked if she were planning to hold up the Pepsi truck with the ma- chine gun in her violin case. Orchestra members had to learn early to put up with re- marks like this but orchestra members didn’t mind because they rated the class as one of their favorites. They enjoyed having a break from the mono- tony of other classes. The class wasn't easy, students put in many extra hours before and after school perfecting their music and their instruments. Autumn Crowther commented. Orchestra made high school fun for me. Amy Baird, alter nate music sterling scholar and concertmistress commented. I enjoy orchestra because it is fun. challenging and a chance to do what I enjoy doing. Most students played more than one instrument and some played more than ten. Jeff Nielsen. Music Sterling Scholar, played at least ten. including bassoon and piano, and has won many awards and recognition for his playing ability. The Orchestra went on tour with the A Cap pella and performed at Disney- land and Sea World. LET ME TELL YOU.
