Dear Editor:

After I worked at pond hockey on Friday, my wife wanted to go to the play at Northland Pines High School. I was very tired and before the play, I fell asleep.

But when the orchestra started and the curtain opened, I did not blink an eye for two and one half hours. The play, “Footloose,” had a cast that was perhaps the best I have ever seen. The talent of the students was the best I have ever seen, including plays with paid performers.

I must compliment every student that performed in the play, including the stage hands, the directors, orchestra and the teachers that coached the students.

I highly recommend that if you have never been to a Northland Pines performance, make sure you see the next one. My hat is off to all of the students. They should be very, very proud.
