Strike up the band and let’s celebrate … the band.

Coupeville High School’s musical maestros are there at every home basketball game (and sometimes pop up down in Oak Harbor as well), putting in time and effort to keep things swinging.

Thanks to the ever-clicking camera of John Fisken, let’s take a moment to swing the spotlight on the guys and gals who keep the tunes cranked up to 11 all night.

The stage is set.

The Coupeville High School Wolf PAC Theatre Troupe grabs the spotlight the next two weeks, as it presents “Choices – an Evening of One-Act Plays.”

You get three plays for the price of one, with shows set for Nov. 4, 5, 10 and 12, with a 7 PM curtain time in the school’s performing arts center.

And yes, before you run to your calendar, those dates are correct.

While the first shows hit on a traditional Friday/Saturday schedule, week two bumps the Friday show to Thursday.

This is because the troupe has five members who are pulling double duty in the school’s honor band and choir.

Ticket prices are:

Adults – $6.00
Senior citizens (62 or older) – FREE
Coupeville students (grades 6-12) without ASB – $6.00
Coupeville students (grades 6-12) with ASB – FREE
Coupeville students (K-5) – $4.00
Visiting students with ASB – $4.00
Preschool with adult – FREE

You can also get a family deal for $15, which covers one adult and four children or two adults and two children.

This production, unlike some others, is aimed at a slightly older audience.

“I personally do not recommend this show for younger children – mostly because it would “go over their heads”,” said CHS drama advisor Peg Tennant. “I do recommend parents of middle schoolers come with their children – all three plays provide food for good conversation.”

The plays are “My Daily Life” (choices have consequences), “Fried Dough Girl” (choices have costs) and “The High School Drama” (choices can change).

The troupe:

Jakobi Baumann
Jaschon Baumann
Alex Beech
Desirae Bradley
Bree Daigneault
MacKenzie Davis
Seth Hedges
Tiger Johnson
Christian King
Nikolai Lyngra
McKenzie Meyer
Tamika Nastali
Elaira Nicolle
Thane Peterson
Marenna Rebischke-Smith
Madison Rixe
Helen Sinclair

John Fisken sacrificed for us.

Like I said yesterday, the ever-affable paparazzi pulled himself out of his sick bed (and stopped searching WebMD for disturbing new diseases) and trekked down to Coupeville to shoot the Homecoming Parade.

With that kind of effort, we can’t sell him short, so we’re back for round two of his parade pix.

And seriously, next time you see Fisken, buy him a Diet Coke.

Strong with spirit, they are.

No rest for the cheer warriors.

Coupeville High School cheerleaders were hard at work Wednesday morning, fine-tuning their routines in advance of the start of a new football season.

The Wolves will take to the sidelines for the first time Sept. 3, when CHS hosts South Whidbey in the Battle for The Bucket.

By then, Coupeville’s loudest ‘n proudest will be a well-oiled machine, honed to a razor edge by coach Cheridan Eck.

Falcon fans will never know what hit ’em.
