Day 1468: First crew work day

Twenty-two kids showed up to work backstage this morning.  Eager, energetic and fun, we got a ton accomplished both backstage and in the costume storage space. They dismantled an ancient screen and the last of pride rock left from the MS production.  Then they hauled out a half dozen risers to  transport to storage space at Wheelock.

In the costume department, we emptied the entire storage room.  The crew hung all the items that were returned to us from Forestville.  We sorted all the lose clothes and crammed them onto the racks.  We have an unbelievable amount of costumes for a small school.  Every era, every style, something for every show.  Kathy does not like to throw anything out.  Two pieces of junk she rejected I put in the trash can immediately and covered them with papers.  It's my least favorite day of musical prep, but now it's over.

It was nearly fifty degrees today and so we took a long walk through town.  The creek is wild and muddy, all the ice has been swept away.  Everything is about to change since an entire week of lake effect snow is predicted.  That's fine cause I must concentrate to complete my last chapter.
