If you missed the production - or maybe you’d like another look - here's a slideshow of scenes from “The Sound of Music” by Harwood Union Middle/High School's theater program, April 6-8. More than 40 students comprised the cast, crew and orchestra for the classic Rogers and Hammerstein production.
Below is the program with cast details and a message from Director Scott Weigand where he pays tribute to the Von Trapp family and its connection to Vermont, reflects on the bond of family and sharing this year’s production with his two children cast in the show, and he ends with a salute to Harwood Music Department head Chris Rivers, conducting the orchestra for his final show.
