A Magical Weekend






Spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights watching our school’s production of “Cinderella”-a very funny musical! The kids did an excellent job. The orchestra was staffed with middle school students and two ninth graders! Keeping with tradition, the cast and crew made Saturday’s performance EXTRA fun. When the ball was in full swing with a (boring) waltz, Prince Charming stopped the dancing and announced, “so much for the waltz, let’s do some real dancing.” On cue, the cast broke out with the Cha Cha Slide-music AND dance!

To the right now, to the left
Take it back now ya’ll
1 hop this time, 1 hop this time
Right foot 2 stomps, left foot 2 stomps
Slide to the left, slide to the right
Criscross, criscross
Cha Cha real smooth

For such a small school in a remote area, Hillcrest did not disappoint. The costumes were fabulous. The props rocked. (Lauren was in charge of the props!) The incredible orchestra was hidden in a pit below stage. “Fairy dust” flew down when magic occurred and Cinderella’s transformation brought “ohhs” and “ahhs” from the audience.
