This weekend, the cast and crew of the fall drama And a Child Shall Lead took their play to Greenwich High School for the Connecticut Drama Association (CDA) festival. They performed at 3:30 in the afternoon on Friday, the first of eleven participating schools.

Junior Nick Zanca, who played Martin Lowy, explained how unusual it was to perform the show twice and in two different venues. “What’s interesting about this show compared to other shows I’ve been in at the high school is that the rehearsal process was elongated,” he said. “After our run of the show in October, I wasn’t as upset as I usually get after the final performance, because we all knew we had more to do with the show. Once we got back into rehersal about a month ago and started cutting, everything was already memorized. We all knew this show like the back of our hands…”

Power lines were downed by wind gusts and falling trees, and streets became labyrinths, ending in blocked roads. Homes and students alike were left powerless for days. For the first time in a while, students experienced a blackout that bore no connection to an Outback dance, or a sports dress code spearheaded by Bussey’s Bomb Squad. This was the real thing…

Band and Orchestra Concert tomorrow

The band and orchestra will have a concert on Wednesday, March 24th at 7:00 pm. The orchestra will perform in the Wagner Room and the band will perform in the Lapham Auditorium. The band will play Amen, Ireland of Legend and Lore, and American Elegy. Frank Ticheli, who composed American Elegy, came in earlier this year to communicate his vision and coach the band on this piece. The Jazz Band will also perform Roll ‘Em, After All, and Feet Bone. The orchestra will feature their bass section in particular and perform Romanze and Scherzo from Symphony 4, Concertro for Strings, Finale from the Classical Symphony, Basses Loaded, and Moondance.

On Saturday March 13th, heavy rain and gale-force winds swept through New Canaan, causing widespread damage. The town has almost finished picking up fallen trees and broken electricity cables, but there is one effect that is going to linger until June. Because the district was forced to cancel school for three days, from March 15-18, these days will now have to be made up at the end of the year…
