Our house composer, Jonathan Richards wrote the script and music, trying to create something that was punchy and fun. And keeping the program at 23 minutes helps hold their attention.

We usually only use 20. But that's enough to keep the students interested, and the Wind Machine is always the first thing that they want to know more about.

We even show how jazz, rock and country are all intertwined and related to each other. The students also learn how the basic music principals of rhythm, harmony and melody work together to make any form of music.

Basically it all started out when Aubrey made me a pair of bottle cap earrings as a fun gift.

I would straggle the line between being the bright and smart kid and trying to be cool in the lunch room — that sort of thing.

It is just a fun loving musical. 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' is not something that is featured a lot like other musicals. This allows it to be fresh to students and I think they will appreciate it.
