rascals
Several years ago - perhaps five or six - a'won- :
derful undertaking took place by a group of dedicated
seamstresses.
Brilliant and lavish costumes were created to bedeck the chorus at Rappahannock County High School.
It took months of hard work by many dedicated ladies to produce these works of art but perhaps even more than the costumes themselves was the result they had.
The chorus sang in them as part of a dinner event and felt like stage stars. Superb outfitting has that impact.
They looked gorgeous and sang as such.
Then three summers ago, this magnificent collection of costumes disappeared.
According to one school teacher, “someone let someone come in and borrow them.”
While every conceivable mind has been tapped, the costumes have remained missing for these many years and the ambience and flavor that they provided has been gone as well.
It may seem a dead issue to many but to those who benefited from wearing and singing in them, the loss continues to be real and with the advent of the holiday season more acute.
The current chorus at the high school is small in number but they have many performances lined up. Their chorus teacher, Lynn Fournier, still pines for those costumes and remembers them fondly particularly at this time of year. “I’d love to see them dressed in those costumes when they perform,” remarked Fournier.
So, with good tidings just around the comer, if there is anyone out there in Rappland or beyond that has knowledge of the whereabouts of these costumes and could help get them returned to the school, it would be so very greatly appreciated.
No one is looking to blame but only to find.
Where are they?
