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 Señor 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…
