MVHS DRAMA CLUB PRESENTS: GREASE

March 27, 28 & 29 ~ 7:00 PM

Minisink Valley High School is proud to present the Broadway classic, GREASE. The setting is Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding "Burger Palace Boys" and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink Ladies" in bobby socks and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950's in this rollicking musical. Head "Greaser" Danny Zuko and new girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their "Summer Nights" as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as "Greased Lightnin'", “Hand Jive”, "We Go Together" and more.  The show is Directed by Mr. Gary Passamonte with musical direction by Mr. Victor Izzo III. It promises to be a crowd pleaser. You may find yourself singing along and dancing in the aisles. Tickets are going fast so order yours now at www.seatyourself.biz/minisink.

MVHS JROTC PRESENT COLORS AT WOUNDED WARRIOR/NYFD FOOTBALL GAME

On January 29, 2014, the Minisink Valley JROTC Cadets (C/2LT VanBuren, C/SFC Burke, C/SFC Gold, C/SGT Heinen, C/CPL Truex, C/CPL Greiner) conducted the Color Guard for the Wounded Warriors Amputee Football Team (WWAFT) Game at Essex County Codey Arena in West Orange, NJ.

The WWAFT played against NFL Greats and 1st Responders of the NYFD. Despite a late charge by the NFL Greats/1st Responders, the WWAFT dominated on both ends of the field. It was truly a humbling experience to be in the presence of some of the bravest and toughest men in our country, and furthermore, a tremendous honor to be chosen to open the game. The Color Guard was commended by the event organizers for an excellent job and their professional conduct. The halftime show was conducted by the Village People. During this time the Cadets were allowed to go on the field and sing along or just walk around and get photos/autographs with the players and celebrities. Everyone had a great time and will cherish the memories for years to come.
