A 92-year tradition returns to live stage after two years. In 2020 the student's hard work preparing for the show was tossed under the bus when COVID-19 forced the state of Pennsylvania to close down public schools. "We had to cancel it the night of the show," said Steve Johnston who has been involved with the production for 30 some odd years. Last year they did a virtual performance.
"It wasn't the same," he said

The tradition is a fundraiser for the band, choir and stage.
Johnston said that due to COVID, this year's performance is hugely import to the music program and he is hoping to fill the seats.
"We could really use the funds," he said. "I would love to see 800-900 people each night. Not having it the last two years has really impacted our funds."

There will be a show both Friday and Saturday at the school starting at 7 p.m.
The quick moving show lasts in the neighborhood of 45 minutes and is made up of individual performances as well as showcasing routines by the Knightettes, the cheer squads and other small groups acts.

Johnston said the musical variety format stems from it's origins based on old live radio broadcasts. "The name stuck and has become a local legend ever since," he said.
Tickets will be available at the door for $5.
