This program was 'narrated' by myself (wearing a black tuxedo with sparkle blouse). We had "technical difficulties" with the sound, and I spoke with the sound engineer from the stage, lol. (Wouldn't think of doing that now!) On the video, I can be seen conducting from the front row of the audience! All that hoakey stuff, and yet.... the audience LOVED it.

The main thing I notice about those old shows is how YOUNG the kids were! In SS'05, the average age is 14.5. Back then, the average was 11.5--and it shows! Some of you may recognize some of the names of the cast (Katie Preston, Josh Dennis, Victoria Holland, Danielle Kramer, Garett Hawe, etc.) but back then they were 11-13 years old, not the sophisticated college students they are today!

It was more like a variety show. The acts just kept rolling by. The only actual "mini" was the Prologue from Into the Woods, which lasted about 15 min. All the other stuff was mostly just solos and duets.
