I know you’ll do great! Charles Walker High School Principal Union Springs High School | 239 Cayuga Street | (315) 889-4110 | www.unionspringscsd.org UNION SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS dIReCtoR’S Note In these troubled times, the perfect thing to do is step back for a second and watch a silly musical while belting out a good 80’s power rock ballad. As excited as the kids are to perform this year, I’ve found their parents are even more thrilled to dress their kids up like their teenage selves and hear the songs they grew up with. While the musical is original, the songs are hits everyone will know. Even the students who weren’t born in the 80’s can recognize “I Wanna Rock” as being ‘that song from SpongeBob’. Or as one of my students put it hearing the song list, “Oh, this is like going on the best road trip with your dad.” Indeed. In addition, I’d like to acknowledge the over-the- top work ethic of our youngest stage manager ever and the cast members who swooped in out of nowhere to replace lost roles without missing a beat. The talent and support in this district is a miracle, and I continue to be grateful each day. Now get your air guitar and karaoke skills ready, and enjoy our production of Rock of Ages 101: High School Edition. What a road trip this production has been. Sincerely, Organizing this wild show has been like wrangling a hurricane. We never could have done Nicholas Bessette it without the amazing talent and dedication of Director cast, production team, high school staff, and an army of loyal parents.

SMURF VILLAGE - DAY (SHORTLY AFTER SMURFS 2 ENDS) A big banner reads “Welcome Vexy and Hackus!” Like an Amish barn raising, the entire village of Smurfs is busy building TWO NEW MUSHROOMS for the new arrivals. NARRATOR (O.S.) For years and years it was just Papa and his 99 Smurfs. Then came Smurfette to make it an even 100. And now, two new Smurfs, rescued from the evil clutches of Gargamel, have joined the fold. The CAMERA finds NARRATOR SMURF walking through the village. NARRATOR The whole village has gathered to build them homes of their own - except me of course - because I’m the “vocal talent”. He passes by the construction site of Vexy’s new mushroom. VEXY is there with BRAINY - who stands underneath the overhang holding BLUEPRINTS. VEXY I get that it’s supposed to look like a mushroom, Brainy - but isn’t that too much overhang? BRAINYWeinstock Nonsense. According to my calculations, there’s more than enough structural buttressing here to support... WHAM! - the overhang drops, CRASHING on Brainy - covering him in a pile Marcof rubble. VEXY (calling into rubble) I’m sorry. I can’t hear you from under all that “buttressing”. OVER BY HACKUS’ MUSHROOM - HANDY is discussing design with Hackus. HANDY So what’re you thinkin’, Hackus? Shitake style? Or more of a traditional Portobello? scherick & ronn 2. Hackus has no idea.

  • The Smurfs Were Communists! by Dave Morgan Okay, I Know It
    The Smurfs Were Communists! By Dave Morgan Okay, I know it sounds crazy. I didn't believe it myself at first. Then I started thinking about it, and it starts getting scary. First of all, you must put aside all the media-programmed, propaganda-driven thoughts or irrational fears you might already have about communists. Forget all that big bad Russian stuff that the 80's taught us, that doesn't exist anymore. Think of communism as just a way of life, a social order, an economic standpoint, a lifestyle choice. Take all the visions of sickles and hammers and tanks out of your head for awhile, and then you will be able to see it clearly. First of all, the Smurfs shared everything. The food in the Smurf village was stored away in those mushrooms the minute it was harvested and then equally distributed to all the Smurfs throughout the year. No one "farmer Smurf" sold his crop to a "consumer Smurf," or saw his labor exploited by another. It was understood that the crop was for the entire Smurf population, not for the sale or profit of one Smurf alone. Then there were those jobs each Smurf held. There was Handy Smurf, and Painter Smurf, and Brainy Smurf, etc... Each Smurf had his own specific job and was not allowed to try his hand at any other Smurf's assigned task. There actually was an episode where each Smurf tried to do another one's job, and failed. The moral of the story was apparently "Stick to what you do Best" or to put it another way, stick to what the society has chosen for you, or maybe just "You'll get what you get and like it!" Handy Smurf was always building.

    Cover photo by Ebet Roberts 18 AIRTO He calls himself the "outlaw of percussion" because he breaks all the rules, but that's what has kept Airto in demand with musicians such as Miles Davis, Chick Corea, and Weather Report for almost two decades. His latest rule-breaking involves the use of electronics, but as usual, he has come up with his own way of doing it. by Rick Mattingly 24 GILSON LAVIS Back when Squeeze was enjoying their initial success, drummer Gilson Lavis was becoming increasingly dependent on alcohol. After the band broke up, he conquered his problem, and now, with the re-formed Squeeze enjoying success once again, Lavis is able to put new energy into his gig. by Simon Goodwin 28 BUDDY Photo by Ebet Roberts MILES He made his mark with the Electric Flag, Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, and his own Buddy Miles Express. Now, active once again with Santana and the California Raisins, Buddy Miles reflects on the legendary music that he was so much a part of. by Robert Santelli 32 DAVE TOUGH He didn't have the flash of a Buddy Rich or a Gene Krupa, but Dave Tough made such bands as Benny Goodman's, Artie Shaw's, and Woody Herman's play their best through his driving timekeeping and sense of color.
