For Central High School’s Show Choir, there’s no place like home—this year’s Eagle Express show features a magical trip through Aberdeen’s Storybook Land and the Land of Oz! 🚂🌈

Director Susan Appl said they initially planned a different show, but then fellow Director Jenna Hansen mentioned it’s the 125th anniversary of “The Wonderful World of Oz.” Choreographer Kevin Chase kept coming back to the idea, and eventually they decided on a Storybook Land theme that incorporated the Land of Oz.

“It’s coincidental that it’s also the 50th anniversary of Storybook Land this year,” Appl said. “The stars all aligned.”

Plan to attend an upcoming Eagle Express performance at the CHS Kelly Theatre:

• Valentine’s Bistro: Feb. 16 and 17 at 7 p.m. both nights
• March 14: Center Stage at 10 a.m.

📸 Thank you to Show Choir parents for the wonderful performance photos!

Our 3rd and 4th graders at Lincoln Elementary explored the magic of printmaking last week! They drew into foam to make a print of a winter wonderland and a six-sided snowflake showing radial symmetry. Even winter can have moments of beauty. We hope you enjoy our work!
