RHS Students Plan 'Wizard of Oz' Adaption by Former Teacher

The school is planning an adaption of "The Wizard of Oz."

Rosemont High School drama students will soon present "The Wizard of Oz," but it won't be the same version their parents are used to seeing on television. "We are presenting 'the Wizard of Oz and the Emerald City,' an adaptation of the Wizard of Oz by our former drama teacher, Ms. Dottie Bonneau, and a collaborative effort by [the Creative and Performing Arts] faculty, students and parents for the lyrics and music," drama teacher Ruth Cave-Sosa said in an email.

Question of the Day

Will 'Hunger Games' Mania Hit Rosemont?

A local teen claims to be the book's No. 1 fan.

Either it'll be incredibly popular, or talking about its popularity will be popular. A media storm is brewing around the upcoming movie "Hunger Games," and one Rosemont teen told a local television station that she's the No. 1 fan of the series of books. "My one friend forced me to finish reading it in two days because she wanted to talk about it so bad," Albert Einstein Middle School student Alexis Pinkney told News10. That station's report repeats a refrain that the movie could be "bigger than Twilight," and the New York Times reported that Fandango was selling "10 tickets per second" to the film as of mid-day Thursday. That pace crowned it as the ticket website's best-selling non-sequel ever, according to Entertainment Weekly. The West …

Video: Does RHS Percussion Show Remind You of Flying?

The original composition helped the Wolverines land first place at a competition in Roseville.

Rosemont High School's winter percussion show is just five minutes long, but it's a lot more lively than the average in-flight entertainment. The Wolverines took first place in their class at a percussion competition at Roseville's Woodcreek High School over the weekend with "Flight," shown in the above video. "The music is all original, written by our battery instructor," band director Robin Wilmer said in an email. The winter color guard also took first place in the weekend's competition, Wilmer said. "The winter guard's show is called Diablo Rojo," she said. "Both groups placed first in their class, but the guard had stiffer competition. The guard scored 12 points ahead of their nearest rival. That is amazing considering some …
