Last week, 20 acts performed at the Manchester Middle School's 16th Annual Variety Show.

Lindsay Hannah, of the organizing group, SRSLY Manchester, would like to thank the 8th Grade Stage Manager Jacob Mann, who whipped everyone into shape. "Practices and performances have never run so smoothly!" Hannah stated. She also highlighted Manchester Middle School teacher Lois Bohl, who provided homework assistance during the show ensuring that performers didn't fall behind on practice nights; Nathan Betz who trained the performers, stage crew, and the emcee; donors Manchester Lions Club and the International Association of Lions Club District 11; and of course the stage crew, the performers and parents!

Hannah also  wanted to thank Small Town Sounds, who provided sound equipment and staff to make the show sound top notch and Andy Galicki who staffed the Variety Show.  "Jesse Dunny, owner of Small Town Sounds has been working the Variety Show for the past 4 years," she explained, "[Andy Galicki] provided additional sound equipment to make our performances really shine. He also worked with stage crew on to set up sound equipment and directed performers on stage."
