REMEMBER WHEN - ** Dee Holsinger's Final ROCORI Concert ** May 25, 2007

How does one say thank you to so many?  Her career at ROCORI started in 1977.  Dee Holsinger had just moved here from San Francisco.  Everyone seemed so caucasian and she couldn't pronouce most of the names.  It took her a year before someone actually convinced here that people really do "pick rocks".

This story features an interview with Dee just before her final concert.  It also features a display of her magic as she directs the kids and encourages them to give their very best.  Have the tissue box handy, there's probably going to be a few tears before you finish watching this one.

Dee leaves ROCORI after 30 years in the Middle School.  Here's a paragraph she wrote on her last performance program:

I leave hoping along the way I've made a difference.  I know all of you have made a tremendous difference in my life.  Rocori is still my "community".  You are my friends and support system.  Thank you, thank you to students, former students, parents, grandparents, and teaching staff for 30 years of something very amazing.  I love Rocori.  It is in my veins and my heart forever.  I don't leave with sadness, I leave with a true senses of love.

Exclusive "Inside Tour" of the Old Opera House in Cold Spring.

This is a tour of the Cold Spring Opera House interior main and upper floor.  The Maurin Opera House was built in 1885 and in its heyday featured German language dramas such as "Rosa von Tannenbur," traveling minstral shows and comedies.  The last public use of the building was the wedding dance of Barbara George Theisen in 1932.  Since that time the building has housed a plumbing and hardware store and a feed & seed coop.

New Cast Video: ANNIE GET YOUR GUN presented by GNTC

An Old Fashioned Wedding?
 
GNTC’s summer musical Annie Get Your Gun features the familiar music and clever lyrics of Irving Berlin.  One of our favorites is “An Old Fashioned Wedding” where Frank Butler sings about the kind of wedding him and Annie Oakley will have.  “We’ll have an old fashioned wedding; blessed in the good old fashioned way.  I’ll vow to love you forever; you’ll vow to love and honor and obey.  Somewhere in some little chapel…a simple wedding for an old fashioned bride and groom.”  Annie, however, has other ideas.  “I wanna weddin’ in a big church with bridesmaids and flower girls.  Alotta ushers in tailcoats, reporters and photographers.  A ceremony with a bishop who will tie the knot and say, ‘do you agree to love and honor’ yes, but not obey.  A big reception at the Waldorf (Astoria hotel in New York) with champagne and caviar – if it’s not a big wedding then I don’t wanna get married at all.”  The best part comes when they each sing about the wedding they want as a duet.  With such different ideas about their wedding, will they ever walk off together into the sunset?  You’ll have to come see for yourself.  

Get your tickets now as GNTC presents Annie Get Your Gun directed by Vicki Meyer.  Only 7 performances of familiar music of Irving Berlin will be given in the newly air-conditioned Glanville Smith Auditorium.  6 evening performances at 7:30pm will be given Thursday thru Saturday, August 9-11th and Wednesday thru Friday, August 15-17th.  One matinee will be held on Sunday, August 12th at 2pm.  The box-office at Rocori High School is now open on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm for you to purchase your tickets in person. You can also find a ticket order form on our website – gntc1.com – to order your tickets by telephone or mail.  The box-office will also be open 1 hour before the curtain.  All seats are reserved so order your tickets now while they’re still available.    We expect another sell-out crowd for this Broadway classic because there really is no business like show business!
