The O'Hara girls always said it just wasn't a Christmas pageant without Mammy.

I take it the Miss Scarlett who got all the closeups is yours?
I have two in the lineup...
The tall blonde second from left is her first time
in ensemble, the one with all the close-ups is her third year in choir, second year in ensemble.
The male voice is the instructor. They pre-record
some of the backup, but most of it is live and real.
On Valentines Day, they sell singing Valentines. The last five or six years the school has sold out of them, running two separate crews.

Posted by: Donnah at December 25, 2006 05:19 PMI wanted to get the rest of this posted..but I have to do all kinds of digital trickery just to get it from Mini disc to the web..and I am just so worn out from Elfing around..
Later in this show, Ivy puts her foot right down on the taffeta part (I guess..I don't know taffeta from
bruchetta..nor can I spell either one) and *wooped* and ran off stage..
She made it back, trooper that she is, but the crowd was laughing for the entire rest of the song.
