BBQ lunch and drinks were provided for dozens of volunteers by the P.T.S.A., who planned this event along with the Diablo Community Center, Students 4 Educational Fidelity, Mt. Diablo Wood Devils, and the ELAC/Bilingual Family Nights.
Drama Devils and MDHS Choir joined ranks to put on a fun musical.
Katie, Stewart, Shane, Atreyu, David, Heath, Dean, Melany, Krystle, Heath, and Chris gave stellar performances in The Apple Tree.
I laughed, I even get teary-eyed, and I did not have to fight off sleep when the lights were low during this action-packed show.
Speaking of packed, I was glad I got to the theater early, as Friday night's performance was a standing-room-only full house!
Final performance was on Saturday, April 9, 2005.
Tickets were only $5 at the door of Le Chateau Econo (aka: the Choir Room)
Curtain was at 7:30pm with two intermissions during which the audience enjoyed the delicious concessions which were available for purchase in the lobby.

Hundreds of volunteers from Comcast and from the MDHS community combined resources and forces and put in hours of work on the MDHS campus! Their efforts, along with the new construction, new soccer fields, and the new quad which will be completed soon, have really spruced up our campus.
Dennis Agostino, '61, visited recently, and has generously sent the photos he took to the MDHSAA to share with other Red Devils who may not be able to make it to check out the campus for yourselves.
