The first rehearsal for Anything Goes was held tonight. Fifty-nine students are in the cast! Lots of new students, both freshmen and upperclassmen. The two leading men are a senior and a junior in their first musicals. Sandy and I did measurements on 23 students and they are very excited to be in the cast. Ben has added several songs from a 1987 edition of the musical. That should help modernize the show a bit.
I made huge progress on the Trials and Triumphs chapter and should finish it tomorrow. Since it is primarily about dealing with medical emergencies, belly-button piercings, injured knees, special needs, rescues and homesickness, I should probably retitle the whole chapter. That means the only chapter left in the "how to" portion of the book is about the student leaders. Number 13! I still haven't decided about the games, activities and songs.
Another polar vortex has descended over most of the country. Tonight it's only eleven! Of course, Paddy had to go out for a few hours. We don't even know how he got out.
I'll post a picture tomorrow!
