Friday Assembly/Recital

The auditorium stage has been transformed into a series of moving sets and curtains. After the students and faculty take their seats Lorne steps out and waves to the crowd. "Hey all you groovy cats and kittens out there! Thanks for coming today! All my music students are very excited to perform for you today and can't wait to get things started. So without any more delay? Let's light this firecracker!"

"And now it is my pleasure to introduce the belle of the ball: Sandra!"

The scenery changed so that there was a country scene on the drop behind her, complete with painted barn. In the background was the sound of baaing and mooing.

Sam entered, wearing a pink gingham dress that was tight at the waist and a little poofy at the bottom. On her head was an equally pink bonnet which was covered in rhinestones and tied in a big loopy bow under her chin. On her feet were a pair of black combat boots.

She glared off into the wings at Lorne, then signaled the music to start. Contrary to the way she'd been practicing it all week, this was actually sung, though it was probably difficult to understand the words through her gritted teeth.

When I take you out, tonight, with me,
Honey, here's the way it's goin' to be:
You will set behind a team of snow white horses,
In the slickest gig you ever see!

Jack sat up perfectly straight in his chair and stared, for once absolutely lost for words.

Despite his best efforts the corner of his mouth quirked ever so slightly upwards.

Marie looked at her cues and started hitting buttons to make it look like the sun was rising.

Unfortunately, she hit the wrong buttons and the stage started to fill with fog.

Sam stopped dead mid-song and wondered if they'd changed the musical to Brigadoon without telling her. The music, of course, continued.

Trying to keep up with the new scenery, Sam started with the opening verse of "I'll Go Home With Bonnie Jean," sung with great sarcasm, eye rolling, and absolutely no matching the music whatsoever.

I used to be a rovin' lad.
A rovin' an' wanderin' life I had.
On any lass I'd frown, who would try to tie me down.
But then one day, I saw a maid,
Who held out her hand, an' I stayed an' stayed.
An' now across the green, I'll go home with bonnie Jean.

Marie knew that wasn't right and tried desperately to turn the fog machine off.

Instead, though, the fog kept getting thicker and thicker.

Looking very like a deer caught in the headlights, Sam pulled her lighter out of her pocket, so the audience could see her through the fog. At least the flame reflected off of the rhinestones on her bonnet.

And switched songs in a vain attempt to keep up. She closed her eyes and swayed back and forth as she sang, trying to look appropriately gothic while the Surrey with the Fringe music kept playing.

Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation . . .
Darkness stirs and
wakes imagination . . .
Silently the senses
abandon their defences . . .

By now, Marie was just hitting random buttons and she ended up hitting the master button that killed all the lights on stage.

As soon as the stage went to black, Sam flicked off her lighter. "THANK GOD!!!" The music continued, as did the fog, but all the audience could probably hear was the sound of Sam fumbling her way offstage.

"Ooof. Stupid scenery."

Molly cheered and clapped loudly.

Jack lost it and started laughing his head off, arms wrapped around himself as he tried not to fall off his chair.

Peter cheered and tried not to laugh too much.

Kawalsky actually dropped his phone when he saw Sam come on stage, so he only got the last verse of the song on his phone video camera, complete with fog and lights going out.

Once she stormed off in the dark, he couldn't help but cackle. This was the best day ever.
