Stunt: ‘‘Original and Creative”
by Emily Craig
Eight Mer^ith students
took part in the WQDR Air
Band Contest .recently. The
term “air band” applies to a
band which mimes with silent,
homemade instruments to the
recording of actual
performers. The contest
awarded the band which best
resembled a live
performance.
The preliminary contest
was held on Sunday, January
17th at The Pier, a local
nightspot. Fifteen bands out of
twenty-six were chosen to
return the following Thursday
night, and five finalists were
chosen from the fifteen. Both
of the bands from Meredith,
the “No No’s”, and “90
Percent Angel” placed iii the
top five.
“90 Percent Angel” was
awarded third place. They
chose for their performance
“Our Lips Are Sealed.” with
“We Got the Beat” for an
encore. Both songs are
current hits by the “Go Go’s.”
The “No No’s” also
performed to “We Got the
Beat,” and Pat Benatar’s
“Heartbreaker” for an
encore. Lead singer for the
“No No’s” was Jan Drack,
who sang into a hairbrush.
Bass guitarist Susanne Lee
played a broom, guitarist Lisa
Ei^strom play^ a tennis
racket, and drummer Trade
Taylor used no props.
The groups made their
own costumes using clothes
bought at a nearby Goodwill
Store.
When asked for their own
comments about the contest
by Linda Sellers
Stunt 1982 will be held
Wednesday, February 24, at 7
p.m. in Jones Auditorium.
Stunt consists of a skit
written and presented by
members of each class in
competition with each other.
The skit cannot be a take-off
on an individual or musical
comedy, although real people
can be imitated and actual
music can be interspersed in
the play.
“We’re going for
creativity and originality.”
stated Sharon Sawyer, MRA
president and overall Stunt
Chairman.
Skits .should .have a.
central theme. A variety of
jokes, songs, and acts without
a central theme would not
constitute a skit
Several rules apply to the
Stunt program. Each class is
allowed a $50 limit on
expenses; a list of expenses of
programs, make-up,
properties, and costumes, and
music and set must be
prepared and turned in by
each class.
Twenty-five minutes are
allocated for each skit. Two
points are deducted from the
total score for every minute
that the skit runs overtime.
If music is used, the words
must be original. The music
itself must be produced,
taped, or performed by
someone in the class.
No class can receive
outside help from faculty,
except for its faculty advisor.
Stunt Chairmen for the
classes are: Senior • Donna
