It’s that time of year again, Variety Show. The music teacher at Great bend High School, Susan Stambaugh, has started preparing her students once again to get in front of everyone and preform.

Stambaugh spends about a month preparing her students for the show but this year was cut short by a week. They start practicing at 5:00 p.m. and get out close to 10:00 p.m. The students put in so many hours and so much effort into putting on the best show possible for the town.

Sophomore, Emery Meza is involved in the show in several different ways including, “-both acapella and madrigals along with some other acts; and I’m in charge of Mics for the show.” Meza is in all of the acts for the Madrigals group, two skits, an ensemble, the acapella dances, as well as a tap solo.

According to Meza this year’s show, “-is filled with many entertaining skits, dances, and songs, we hope that this year can be very exciting for people coming.”
Stambaugh hopes to have sixty-seven performances separated into two acts with a small intermission in between.

Variety show will take place on May 4th and 5th in the high school auditorium starting at 7 o’clock on the 4th and 5 o’clock on the 5th.

Here’s what one of the many students involved are doing! Senior, Teagan Mason is in the show this year doing dances, a solo, and a bunch of jokes, as well as the performances for madrigals.

For her solo Mason is singing “Wonderful, Merciful Savior” by Selah for her grandma because she recently passed and her other reason for choosing this song is, “-to make my dad cry. That’s my biggest goal in the show.”

The students have worked hard to put this show together and Ms. Stambaugh so come out to watch our panther preform!
