Music Drama BB High School Activities

 

Music Drama BB High School Activities


I shared the main High School Music Activities on Monday.

Today is a mix of one-offs and my illustrious Basketball career… enjoy…


Meet SeƱor Bill from the Musical, 'Meet Arizona', Spring of 1954, Freshman year, along with classmate Larry Patrick. It was a small role but I did get to sing in a quartet:

Nancy was in the girls chorus and she was also a dancer. I know I have a photo of that and one with Larry Crimson but they haven’t shown up in recent searches, so we’ll be happy with these memories.


In Sophomore year we did three one-act plays for contest in the spring on 1955. Nancy and I played mother and son, Ma and Willie Joe, in “T’other Side of the Mountain’ in one of them:

I think Linda Pingrey played my sister, a Daisy Mae type character. Much fun!!

I'll share Junior and Senior Class Plays a bit later...

I didn’t get to play basketball my Freshman Year because I scheduled my classes so I would not be available for Football (a story for another day…). So, being behind a year, and not particularly good, I achieved my height in the sport as a Senior, as 6th Man, replaced after a couple of weeks or so by 'up and coming' Sophomores (per the coach). I believe the Year Book records that I scored 16 points in my Varsity Career (never played Jr. Varsity). But I sure looked good!!!


See you down the road…
