The sound of music

Well, 'The Sound of Music' is finally over. I'm glad we're done, because it was getting exhausting, but I'm going to miss it just the same. For those of you who don't know, I was cast as Liesl, and Betsy my sister, was cast as Marta, two of the Von Trapp children. Here's some highlights of the play.

This is the scene when we are first introduced to Maria.

Singing 'Do Re Me'.

Here we are singing 'The Hills Are Alive'.

This is the wedding scene.

Beginning of act 2. Uncle Max is telling us that he signed us up for a concert.

A general has come to take our father to the army, but Maria convinces him that we have to sing in the concert.

Some interesting facts about the real Von Trapp family. Maria was very overpowering, and Mr. Von Trapp was a meek quiet man. There were over twenty years age difference between Maria and Mr. Von Trapp. Maria refused to let her daughter marry for fear it would break up their band. When they escaped from Austria, they did not climb over the mountains. They took a train!
