The Follies are over!

So now I have some time to blog. There is probably a similar post from this time last year...but I just wanted everyone to understand how many hours the cast and crew put in for this fund raising efforts. Each song that a person is in practices 10-15 hours between February and March. Most people are in at least two numbers and there are many with three. Now add in the 3 plus hours on the first full cast rehearsals and then an additional 15 or so the two days prior to the Saturday night show and finally it's about a 10 hour commitment on show night.

On the crew, they do all of that AND put in 30-50 hours each the week and a half prior to the show. The committee, also in the show (about 10 strong) work almost year around with regular meetings to plan and cast the show.

That's why it is so rewarding to see Mesquite Hall filled to capacity on show night.

The Chamber is working harder and harder every year to make attending the show an even better experience.

Thanks to all who came this year and if you didn't you missed a great time! Just ask someone who went!!
