Day 378: Spinning chairs

For two dance sequences in Millie, they need a dozen chairs to spin on casters.  Tom H. built the frames and attached the chairs, then Steve and I put on the casters.  Today, our amazing crew taped off the chrome, spray painted the plastic chairs, attached the desk surfaces and then painted some of the desk tops.  About twenty students turned out to work this morning and we got a ton done.   We were able to spray paint because the  temperature was 62 degrees!  I didn't think we would get those chairs completed until March.  It's a good thing we finished because an Arctic cold front is moving toward us rapidly and outside painting will be impossible.  It will help the dancers to have them for rehearsals in the coming weeks.  The performers have made incredible progress very rapidly.  The dance numbers are so lively and fun to watch!
