Performing in Chantilly High’s annual Jazz& Pizzazz show is more than being a stu-dent entertaining the community; it’s also

about carrying on a tradition for more than a quar-ter of a century.

“It’s a combination of a ton of people workingtogether to make something neat,” said tromboneplayer Aaron Smith. “The audience gets the en-tire band and show choir, and it just adds up to agreat show.”

The senior said a lot of effort goes into Jazz &Pizzazz but, when it’s done, the performers arehappy to have been in it. He chose trombone ashis instrument because “it’s just fun to play.” Hisfavorite number is “Blackbird” because of “the wayit’s arranged and changed into more of a funkytune.”

Chantilly’s Next Stop: The Kennedy CenterFunny, heartwarmingplay receives 11Cappie nominations.

By Bonnie Hobbs

Centre View

Chantilly High’s Cappies playwas called, “You Can’t Take Itwith You.” But if all goes wellfor the school at next month’s

Cappies ceremony, Chantilly could takehome some trophies for its side-splittingplay.

It received 11 nominations, and all thehigh-school theater winners will be un-veiled, June 9, during the 14th annualCappies Gala at The Kennedy Center inWashington, D.C.

Chantilly was nominated for best play;lead actor and actress in a play; supportingactress, comic actor and featured actress ina play; creativity; props; set; lighting andcritics team.

“We’re thrilled,” said Director Ed Monk.“And we’re pleased with the best play nomi-nation because it means the critics liked ourshow. I asked the kids to create real people,not just characters, and I think they did —and that’s why it meant more to the audi-ence.”

So although the characters were zany, theyhad to be believable. Because of it, said Monk,“One minute, you’re laughing hysterically;and the next minute, your heart’s breaking— so the play goes back and forth betweenlaughter and sadness. And that’s really grati-fying because that’s the way life is.”

Matt Calvert and Stephanie Feeback re-ceived best actor and actress nominations,and Monk said they were “a real teamonstage; and together, they were a believ-able couple, very realistic. They did a beau-tiful job with all the subtle things they didand their reactions.”

Nominated for supporting actress wasBrooke Johnson, and Monk called it “well-deserved. That part was originally writtenfor a man, so she had to be a strong woman,but believable in the context of 1937. Shecouldn’t ham it up; she had to be more con-trolled.”

Josh Lutz is Chantilly’s comic actor nomi-

nee. “It’s a small part, so it’s nice that hewas recognized,” said Monk. “The criticspicked up on all the subtleties of his perfor-mance. And he stayed in character and re-acted, even when the focus wasn’t on him.”

The featured actress nominee was ChloeVasquez. “Besides working on the set, as didJosh, she was perfect for her part,” saidMonk. “She was onstage only a minute, butshe was hysterical. And she had to lay stilland make everyone forget she was there.”

Honored for creativity were Roshni Gorurand Emily Sakowitz. They wrote the pianomusic for the opening, closing and transi-tions between scenes and, said Monk, “Itworked out really well.” As for props, hesaid, “We’re happy they worked and we’reglad to get the nomination.”

Lutz, Vasquez, Drew Pardo and MiaRickenbach were nominated for their set ofthe inside of a huge, two-story house. “Theywere excited about the show and reallyworked well together on the concept, pe-riod and color scheme,” said Monk. “Theywere dedicated and enthusiastic, and threeof them were in the show, as well, so theyhad to keep going back and forth.”

They developed several designs beforetheir final one and also had to fit in a trapdoor tall enough for the actors to go down.“And it took lots of time and work for themto create ‘rooms’ behind doors and hallwaysto keep the audience in the world of theshow,” said Monk. “In 14 years of Cappies,we’ve been nominated for set, every yearbut two — and that’s a credit to the kids,who learn from each other.”

Pardo was also nominated for lighting.“The tech kids had the same level of com-mitment as the actors, and that’s why thehouse, lights, sound and costumes allseemed real and came together so well,”said Monk. “Usually, a lighting nominationis for really flashy stuff, like special effects,so to get it for a straight play was a reallynice compliment. Drew even took the timeto wire all the lamps so they could bedimmed with the stage lights for a reallynice effect.”

Regarding the critics team, Monk said themembers “worked hard and it was nice toalso have freshmen on the team this year.”The show was double cast and, said Monk,“Both casts were equally talented and did abeautiful job. We picked a name out of the

When the winners are announced during the 14th

annual Cappies Gala, June9, at The Kennedy Center

in Washington, D.C., students fromCentreville and Westfield high schools willbe there, eager for the results.

That’s because both schools were nomi-nated for awards for their Cappies shows.Centreville received nominations for itshigh-spirited musical, “Cabaret,” andWestfield was recognized for its touchingplay, “Flowers for Algernon.”

Centreville’s honors are for ensemble ina musical, the Kit Kat Girls, and femaledancer, Nora Winsler. Comprising the KitKat Girls were Anna Adere, Cameron Daly,Elaine Edwards, Stephanie Rathjen, JemmaStratton, Sarah Wills and Winsler.

“The ensemble of the Kit Kat Girls was sofortuitous,” said Centreville Theater Direc-tor Mike Hudson. “They maintained theenergy and served as a common threadthroughout the show. All the girls were soenergetic and they soaked up the choreog-raphy. They kept a high level of focus andnever dropped the mark. They brought anelectric touch, and I am very proud ofthem.”

Regarding Winsler’s dancing nomination,

he said, “I was not surprised when Nora wasnominated for female dancer. She standsout. She can’t help it, she just does. Talent,energy, focus and charm — you can’t havea better combination — and she sings, too.”

Hudson said Winsler draws the audience’seye because “she lives the role and makesit totally real. It is her natural ability to fo-cus and make the character unique andbelievable.

Her physicality is poised and graceful. Sheis a precise dancer, but she gives her per-formances a little something more: Theaudience feels that she is dancing for them,and that is important.”

Westfield’s nominations are forbest play, lead and supporting ac-tor in a play, creativity, props, cos-tumes, sound, and marketing andpublicity. And Director Susie Pikecouldn’t be happier.

“I am so thrilled that we werenominated for best play,” she said.“Everyone in my Theater III andIV class was involved, so it wasboth a class and Cappie project.And, to me, being nominated islike we won. Being recognized forour hard work is really cool.”

Pike said this show was a goodchoice for the actors she had. “Ibelieve art should make you think,and this show did,” she said. “Sogetting nominations is just icing onthe cake.

Mitchell Buckley was nominatedfor lead actor, and Pike said she’senjoyed seeing his growth frommainly a character actor into a role“with tremendous depth and intel-ligence. He was able to portrayCharlie as kind and lovable beforethe operation and then transitionhim into an intelligent human be-ing who saw universally what wasgoing on around him.”

“This part is a true, acting chal-lenge, and he played both Charlieswith the same amount of energy

and realism” continued Pike. “And seeingthis character fall in love and portray sucha vast range of emotions in a two-hour showwas amazing.”

Westfield’s nominee for supporting actorin a play is Julian Sanchez. “The minute heauditioned for Bert, I knew I’d found theright person,” said Pike. “He was able toplay both sides of him — the cool scientistas well as the emotional, human side — andthat, to me, is real acting. He was the tran-sition between the doctors only seeingCharlie as a guinea pig for their own ben-efit and a man.”

Alex Mann and Joe Drzemiecki werenominated for creativity. Mann mainly de-veloped the show’s original music whichDrzemiecki played live. “The music was in-tertwined within the production wherenone was written,” said Pike. “So it was

special and I’m glad the critics noticed itwas original and done by my boys.”

Regarding the props nomination, she said,“I’m glad everything we had onstageworked. We had fake mice and a maze forthem, and everything we used was from the1960s.”

Zoe Hawryluk received the costumenomination, and Pike said she did a fabu-lous job researching the time frame andstyles and devised color palettes and themesfor the characters. For instance, said Pike,“Madeleine [Bloxam] started off in neutralcolors; and as her love for Charlie grew, shebegan wearing more vibrant colors — someeven with flowers.”

Pike was impressed with the amount ofdetail Hawryluk went into. “The charactershad period shoes and costume jewelry tomatch each outfit,” she said. “Zoe reallythought it through, and every costume andaccessory had a purpose.”

The sound nomination went to ArianaWillis, and Pike said she did a great job “re-cording the show’s teaching machine andmaking sure the recorded sound matchedthe stage sound.”

Bloxam, Buckley and Sanchez were nomi-nated for marketing and publicity. “Theyworked well as a team and kept coming upwith new ideas,” said Pike. “They inter-viewed the play’s leads and developed apamphlet which the Cappie critics couldread when they came in, so they’d get toknow a little about the people behind thecharacters. And I loved their poster design.”

Pike said her whole cast was “a joy towork with. I’m so proud of everyone in thisplay; they all did a fabulous job and did theshow exactly as I’d imagined. I wish all theschools could win; we all work hard. It’s ajoy to go to The Kennedy Center and per-form on that stage. What more could I askfor?”

In a little over a month, two new billsdealing with mental health and col-lege safety will take effect in Virginia.And both are a result of the work of

two members of the Angel Fund board anda small group of politicians.

Born out of the Virginia Tech tragedy, thegoal of the nonprofit Angel Fund is to makea difference in young people’s lives via edu-cation, advocacy and various programs. ItsCentreville-based board of directors is es-pecially interested in mental health andtranslating it into student safety on collegecampuses.

HB 1609, sponsored by Del. Tim Hugo(R-40), and SB 1342, sponsored by stateSen. Chap Petersen (D-34), passed the Gen-eral Assembly and were signed by Gov. BobMcDonnell.

This bill requires colleges and universi-ties to establish a written memorandum ofunderstanding with local community-ser-vice boards and/or mental health facilitiesto expand services for students seekingtreatment. All colleges now must designatea point of contact to be notified should astudent be involuntarily committed or dis-charged from a facility.

Colleges must also be included in the

post-discharge planning of students whohave been committed and return to cam-pus. The information sharing is subject tostate and federal privacy laws.

To get these bills passed, Angel FundBoard member Greg Richter approachedHugo to patron HB 1609 in the House, andAngel Fund President Lu Ann McNabb askedPetersen to carry this bill in the Senate.Furthermore, both Richter and McNabbwent to Richmond and advocated for it inthe House and Senate, respectively.

Then, during the session, the Senatechanged the word “shall” to “may,” render-ing the bill meaningless, but appeals toMcDonnell by Hugo and Angel Fund led himto amend the language back to “shall.”Petersen persuaded the Senate to agree.

Del. Scott Surovell (D-44) sponsored HB2322 and Sen. George Barker (D-39) spon-

sored SB 1078. This bill requires communitycolleges to designate an individual at eachcollege to serve as a point of contact with alocal mental-health facility to facilitate thescreening and referral of students who mayhave emergency or urgent mental-healthneeds. McDonnell signed this bill, as well,after it passed the General Assembly.

Angel Fund was created in the memoryof Reema Samaha, one of the 32 VirginiaTech victims killed by a young college stu-dent with serious mental problems. McNabbknew Samaha and her family well andwanted to do whatever she could to pre-vent such a tragedy from reoccurring on acollege campus.

Both the new bills were derived from rec-ommendations of the Virginia College Men-tal Health Study, released in November2011:ºhttp://www.law.virginia.edu/pdf/

news/study_recomm_nov2011.pdf.“The bills were important to Angel Fund

because we believe the mental health ofyoung people is key to their success, happi-ness and future,” said McNabb “The yearsfrom 18-26 are very vulnerable years; usu-ally, these are the years when serious men-tal illnesses, such as bipolar disorder andschizophrenia, manifest themselves.” º

“Many young people struggle with de-pression, anxiety, possible drug and/or al-cohol abuse in these years, and some con-template or commit suicide,” she continued.“We believe that anything our society cando — including our institutions of higherlearning — to support students throughthese years is critical.”

Grateful to McDonnell for signing the billsand Surovell, Hugo, Barker and Petersen forsponsoring and advocating for them,McNabb said, “We appreciate their tenac-ity and determination to make significantchanges to how we address the treatmentof our students’ mental health.”

Angel Fund also worked with Del. JimLeMunyon (R-67) to monitor and reviewDel. Mark Cole’s (R-88) bill, HB 2344, re-quiring school divisions to establish policiesand procedures for the establishment ofthreat-assessment teams at the K-12 level.That bill was also signed by McDonnell and,like the others, will take effect July 1.

The Power of Persistence New laws will deal withmental health, campus safety.

Perhaps the biggest sign that theTea Party has taken control ofthe Republican Party of Virginia was

the yellow Gadsden flag emblem that ap-peared on placards distributed by support-ers of Jeannemarie Devolites Davis, whowas one of seven candidates vying to be thenominee for lieutenant governor last week-end at a raucous convention in Richmond.Davis, who represented Fairfax County fora decade in the General Assembly, has areputation as being a moderate. And yet de-spite her embrace of the “don’t tread on me”iconography, she was eliminated on the firstof four ballots in the hotly contested race.

“Frankly, I’m rather appalled by the re-sults, with the ideologically narrow scopeof the Republican ticket that emerged inRichmond this weekend,” said former Del.Vince Callahan (R-34), who representedFairfax County for 40 years. “You’re turn-ing off the vast majority of Virginians and asignificant portion of the Republican base.”

The vast majority of the party faithful whopacked the halls of the Richmond Coliseumlast weekend were looking for the mostconservative candidates possible. Republi-cans were going to select their slate in astatewide primary until last year, when TeaParty supporters of Attorney General KenCuccinelli seized control of the executive

mula using the number of Republican votesin the last gubernatorial and presidentialelections. When asked about the influenceof the region, many of the delegates whopacked the Coliseum last weekend said theywere suspicious of Northern Virginia.

“When you get bigger populations, youget more people wanting more stuff,” saidCraig Gilpin, a delegate from Culpepper.“It’s too many, unfortunately, too many lib-eral Yankees in my opinion. That’s wherethey congregate because of its proximity toD.C.”

In speeches and in one-on-one conversa-tions, Republicans who participated in theconvention sounded that theme over andover — that Democrats supported peoplewanting more and more resources from thegovernment. One popular bumper stickerseen in the parking garage outside the Coli-seum asked: “Are you a maker or a taker?”Clearly the party faithful who gathered inthe capital of Virginia last weekend consid-ered themselves makers — supporters of thecapitalism and the free enterprise system.The convention had a strong undercurrentof evangelical influence, at times taking onthe feeling of a religious revival.

“The very moral fiber of the county isdependent on the strength of the family,”said Judy Cook, a delegate from Chantilly.“Those are the issues that are decided on

committee and changed the rules. The pri-mary was spiked in favor of a convention,and moderate Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling droppedout of the race, leaving Cuccinelli to acceptthe nomination of his party by acclamationwithout opposition Saturday morning.Cuccinelli used the opportunity to under-score his roots in Northern Virginia

“I worked with the Democrat Board of Su-pervisors in Fairfax County to stop the EPA

from trying to treat rainwater like a pollut-ant,” said Cuccinelli. “And we won.”

BUT NORTHERN VIRGINIA was notpopular among many of the delegates here,even though the region had more represen-tatives than any other part of the state.Fairfax County had more delegates than anyother jurisdiction because of how the seatswere allocated, which was based on a for-

PERHAPS THE BIGGEST surprise of the conven-tion was the victory of conservative preacher E.W.Jackson in the race for attorney general. Few of thedelegates considered the pastor from Chesapeake tobe a frontrunner until he delivered a barnburner ofa speech Saturday afternoon. His supporters heldelectric candles during the speech, which was deliv-ered with a hellfire-and-brimstone style that haddelegates roaring with approvalwhen it was over. Jackson ledthe other candidates on the firstballot, and kept his lead as othercandidates were eliminated inthree more rounds of voting. Al-though many of the NorthernVirginia delegates were support-ing high-tech businessman PeteSnyder, Jackson was able to winafter 10 hours of voting.

“We will not only win an elec-tion in November, we will winthe hearts and minds of ourpeople and we will save thiscommonwealth and save thiscountry,” said Jackson. “God willshow us the way, but Virginiamust lead the way, and let lib-erty light the way.”

The other competitive race

was for attorney general, which is considered a tra-ditional stepping stone to running for governor ofVirginia. The race featured Del. Rob Bell (R-58) ofPiedmont and state Sen. Mark Obenshain (R-26) ofHarrisonburg, whose father was the party’s candi-date for the U.S. Senate in 1978 until he was killedin a plane crash that year. Now the son is followingin his footsteps, running for statewide office in a partythat has become much more conservative in recentyears.

“Are you ready to fight and defeat the EPA and itswar on coal? Are you ready to fight to stopObamacare in its tracks?” Obenshain asked delegates.

“Are you ready to fight to preserveour right to work laws here in Vir-ginia? And are you ready to fightto secure our Second Amendmentrights?”

THE SELECTION of Jackson asthe candidate for lieutenant gov-ernor throws a wild card into thecampaign, one that may changethe dynamics of how the campaignwill unfold. Democrats respondedby criticizing the pastor’s previouspublic statements comparingPlanned Parenthood to the Ku KluxKlan and referring to gays in themilitary as “sexually twisted.”Democrats now feel they have a

1st Lt. Robert J. Hess, 26, of the Kings ParkWest neighborhood of Fairfax, was killedby enemy fire on April 23, 2013 in Pul-E-Alam, Afghanistan. Hess was known as

“RJ” and graduated from Robinson SecondarySchool in 2005, where he played football, la-crosse and was the captain of the swim team.He was a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter pi-lot who deployed to Afghanistan on April 11,2013. His family remembers his sense of hu-mor and his natural leadership ability.

Lance Cpl. Niall W. Coti-Sears, 23, ofArlington, died June 23, 2012, whileconducting combat operations inHelmand province, Afghanistan. Coti-Searsloved music, played the guitar, composed songsand entertained family and friends at holidaygatherings. Niall was very close to his grand-father, William Coti, who was a Marine. “Hewas always my protege,” William Coti told theArlington Connection. “He always wanted tobe a Marine and he followed my example. Itweighs heavily on me that this had to happen.”

Chief Warrant Officer Five John C. Pratt, 51,of Springfield, died May 28, 2012 in Kabul,Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when hishelicopter crashed. Staff Sgt. Jessica M. Wing,42, of Alexandria, died Aug. 27, 2012 in Ku-wait City, Kuwait.

In February, 2012, Brig. Gen. Terence J.Hildner, 49, of Fairfax, was the highest rank-ing military officer to die in the war on terror.Hildner died Feb. 3, 2012 in Kabul province,Afghanistan.

ON MEMORIAL DAY, we remember all ofthose who have died in military service, morethan 400,000 in World War II, more than30,000 in Korea, more than 50,000 in Vietnam.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, more than 6,400 U.S.military service men and women have died insupport of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Nearly 50,000 U.S. Military service membershave been wounded, although that number islikely to be revised upward. Last year, the mili-tary confirmed traumatic brain injury in morethan 220,000 of the more than 2.3 milliontroops who have served in Iraq and Afghani-stan. The long-term consequences of many ofthese injuries are unknown, but they will re-quire a national commitment to excellence inhealth care and services for both active dutymilitary personnel and veterans.

Virginia’s U.S. Senators Mark Warner andTim Kaine recently signed a letter along withother senators detailing the delays veteransface: “After a decade of war, and despite theVA’s efforts to modernize, more than 600,000veterans are still stuck in the VA’s disabilityclaims backlog. While the average wait timefor first time disability claims currently rangesbetween 316 and 327 days, veterans in cer-tain parts of the country are waiting evenlonger. Solving this problem is critical for vet-erans of all generations.”

wanted to be a dancer and prac-ticed ballet moves around thehouse,” said her sister, CathleenSellitti. “Her love of dance eventu-ally gave way to her love of the the-ater, which would become her pas-sion.”

Trish later traveled across thecountry, stage-managing manyplays. And in 1980, it led to herstage-managing the closing cer-emonies of the Winter Olympics inLake Placid, N.Y.

“Even though her job took her todifferent places, the closeness shefelt to her family remained strong,”said Sellitti. “Her dedicationshowed in all aspects of her life. Shewas a loving daughter, a devotedsister and a kind and caring aunt.”

Trish and David met in 1985 andmarried three years later. July 31would have been their 25th anniversary.Liesl and Dieter were both involved inWestfield theater, and Paetr, in sports, soTrish was active in the school’s theater andathletic boosters. Yet few people outside herimmediate family and circle of friends knewshe was battling cancer.

“I was stunned when I heard of Trish’sdeath,” said Westfield Theater DirectorSusie Pike. “I never knew she was ill, and Isaw her one of her sons, just the week be-fore. When I think of Trish, the words thatcome to mind are ‘genuine, a true friend, awoman of great strength and ethics, and awarm, caring person.’ She never failed tosee the positive in every situation, and herfaith was strong and real.”

And no matter how busy she was, addedPike, “She always took the time to stop byand see how the theater department wasgetting along. She was smart and patientand such a good mother to her kids. I hadthe pleasure of teaching two of them. Trishhad the gift of true, human warmth andcompassion; she will be sorely missed.”

Trish was also a big advocate for teach-

ers and was the person who nominatedWestfield Principal Tim Thomas this yearfor a Washington Post Distinguished Edu-cational Leadership Award, which he won.“She really wanted to go to the ceremony,but she was too ill to go,” said David.

TRISH WAS ALSO INVOLVED in educa-tion at the lower grades. She started as avolunteer at London Towne Elementarywhen Liesl was in first or second grade thereand was later hired as an administrative as-sistant. Said her husband: “She enjoyedworking with the students and teachers.”

Tuesday morning, Principal Sigrid Rybergsaid the sense of loss at the school is deep“because of Trish’s heart for others and thenature of her job, in that she affected somany people. Hers was the first face we sawin the morning, and Trish always had acheerful greeting or hug to provide.”

Calling Trish “a very inspiring person,”Ryberg said, “She would want us to live eachday with a sense of purpose and a commit-ment to our London Towne children, theirfamilies and most definitely to each other.”

Trish read voraciously and participated inbook clubs and Bible-study groups. The fam-ily attended church at Our Saviors WayLutheran Church in Ashburn, and Davidcalled church life and small-group minis-tries her “lifeblood.” She also reached outand helped others with their issues andtroubles.

“She touched many people, but the depthof those relationships was what was impor-tant to her,” said David. “Her battle withbreast cancer developed into a ministry toother survivors and afforded hope to many.”

“Trish particularly helped those withouta faith background because her faith hadhelped her cope with her struggles so well,”he explained. “So whenever she heard ofsomeone else going through breast cancer,she’d call them up, whether she knew themor not.”

David said both the communities atWestfield and London Towne will miss her,as will the people in the breast-cancer sup-port groups. But the family has establishedthe Patricia Anne (Noto) Stach Foundationin her name (go to www.thelcf.org) and,

he said, “With the donations wereceive, we’ll be able to carry on herwork and her legacy.”

He said her death has been toughfor him and their children, butthey’ve gotten a great deal of sup-port from friends and church mem-bers. Paetr’s Westfield footballcoach, teammates and youthgroups have comforted him. Healso plays CYA basketball and hiscoach is a Westfield senior, EthanKalcheff.

“Ethan organized last Saturday’sgame to be played in Trish’s honorand about 40 people came to sup-port Paetr,” said his dad. “That wasreally special.” He said Dieter hasfound comfort in the Life Churchin Manassas.

Since Liesl is the farthest fromhome, it took about 12 hours toreach her to tell her of her mother’sdeath. But, said David, “She’s in

Cambodia with nine other students and twoprofessors and they’ve been great and aretaking good care of her. There are even twostudents who’ve each lost a parent recentlyand can help her with her grief.”

As for himself, he said, “I’m hoping Godwill grant me the power to understand whyTrish was taken, and I think I do. I’m sureshe’s much better off without the pain. ButI feel bad for my kids, and my plan was togrow old with her. But I’m not bitter andam not asking why; I know there’s prob-ably a reason and we’ll get through it. We’redoing OK; we just need continued prayersupport.”

Reflecting on the many things that madehis wife special, David said people will re-member her as “the world’s best hugger,always with a smile on her face, praisingGod in everything. Her positive energy wasinfectious to all who knew her. To say shewill be missed is an understatement. Shehas left a gaping hole in the world, but shealso has left us with the inspiration to fillit. We praise God for putting her in ourlives.”

its production.”The pair picked music relevant to

the singers so they could really con-nect with it. “Our competitiontheme this year was, ‘Let Me beYour Star,’ from the TV show,‘Smash,’ so it’s a common threadrunning through the show,” saidWoodill. “It’s also one of the majornumbers.”

Highlights include “Legendary,”based on the Broadway musical,“Bring it On,” a music medley from“Mamma Mia” and Jason Mraz’s “IWon’t Give Up,” featuring sign lan-guage and a ballet segment. Solos,mostly done in small groups, in-clude “Holding Out for a Hero,”“Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now” from“Hairspray” and “I Dreamed aDream” from “Les Miserables.”

Instead of the Touch of Class, the36-person choral ensemble is nowcalled the Chantilly ShowStoppers.“It’s the same, great singing anddancing people have come to knowand expect from Chantilly,” said Woodill,but with a new name.

Also performing will be the 30-memberChantilly Jazz. “It’s a professional-level,high-school big band, and the show’s a greatopportunity for the community to hear re-ally good music played by talented musi-cians,” said Band Director Drew Ross. “Fromthe newest members to the seniors, they’rean outstanding group. It’s a blessing for meto listen to them play every day.”

The show features a variety of jazz genres

from Latin and blues to new age and rock.Among the standout numbers, said Ross, are“Children of Sanchez” by Chuck Mangione.“It has an intense percussion juxtaposedagainst a smooth trumpet solo,” he said.“And a Benny Carter piece, ‘Symphony inRiffs,’ is an upbeat, feel-good blues songfeaturing everybody.”

Each year, the band also plays a chicken-themed song, just for fun. So this year’sentry is “Poultry in Motion,” a down-home,Southern, country-funk tune.

“During the show, we highlight everymusician in some way, either in their sec-tion, doing a solo, or doing a featured num-bered,” said Ross. “Sometimes, we changethings and pick soloists on the spot to getthat free improvisation.”

Although it happens in front of an audi-ence, the young musicians are fearless andalways rise to the challenge. “Having thatconfidence and leadership ability will helpthem in whatever they’ll do later in life,”said Ross. “So the audience gets to enjoy

great music and the kids learn theintangibles that make them theawesome people they are.”

Looking forward to Jazz & Piz-zazz, he thanked Chantilly’s Direc-tor of Student Services Robyn Lady,Performing Arts Department ChairShannon Khatcheressian andschool Principal Teresa Johnson fortheir support. He also acknowl-edged Chris Singleton, the otherband director, for his importantwork on the show’s lights andsound.

Ross called the show “a chanceto celebrate student successes anda way for us to give back to the com-munity. It’s also a way for the com-munity to see the outstanding workour students have done this year.”Now in his eighth year as band di-rector, he added, “I’m happy to bea part of the Jazz & Pizzazz legacy.”

For Woodill and Ayars, it’s theirfirst Jazz & Pizzazz at the helm anda chance to put their own stamp onthe show. “Putting together some-thing on this grand a scale and

watching the kids perform is really excitingfor me,” said Woodill.

Ayars especially likes “hearing the kidssing in small groups and in solos. It’s niceseeing them in a small light and getting toshine alone. But I also like our big finaleand production numbers. The kids are re-ally driven and eager to perform, and I’mamazed at how natural and comfortablethey are on stage. It’s obvious how muchthey enjoy it — which makes the audienceenjoy it even more.”

Calvert says its “big, wailing melody” drewhim in. It’s his fourth year in Jazz & Pizzazzand he loves it. “The jazz band has beensolid for so many years at Chantilly, and it’sawesome to get to perform in front of thatmany people.”

He especially likes the song, “AnotherLife,” because “it’s a slow, Latin number andall the power chords just make you melt. Italso features Austin Stahle on electric gui-tar, and he’s phenomenal.”

Junior Paul Lee plays percussion and isexcited about Jazz & Pizzazz. “I lovedwatching the previous shows and now I’llbe in it,” he said. “I like ‘North ShoreEvening’ because it has a different feel; it’sjazz and relaxes you. But I like ‘Children ofSanchez,’ too, because it’s really aggressiveand excites you.”

Senior Ryan Doherty originally took uptrombone because he liked the slide. Now,he said, “I like all the sounds I can get outof it. In one number, I even make a soundlike a B27 bomber — it’s really cool. Myfavorite number is ‘Green-Eyed Groove’ be-cause a good friend of mine, Alan Baylock,wrote it. And there are moments that buildup to a huge impact.”

Also a trombonist, senior David Bevinslikes the instrument’s versatility. “You canplay classical, jazz or pop — it sounds goodin any genre,” he said. “I especially like‘Symphony in Riffs.’ It’s a Duke Ellingtonchart and, as the piece goes from start tofinish, it highlights each section of the bandand leads to a huge finish involving every-body.”

It’s also his fourth year in Jazz & Pizzazzand, said Bevins, “The audience will like thedifferent styles of music ranging from jazzto funk to choir ballads with band backup,

spaghetti sauce, canned fruit, rice (2-lb.bags), canned pasta, peanut butter,canned tuna and meat, hot and cold ce-real, fruit juice, and pancake mix andsyrup.

Singers, Musicians Talk about Chantilly’s Upcoming Show

plus solos of the new, hot songs.In ShowStoppers, senior Ralph Chambati

is a tenor who likes “all the lighting andcool effects that go on while we’re singing.It’s like on TV, except it’s live in front of theaudience. It takes awhile to learn all thedance moves but, in the end, we know ex-actly what we’re doing.”

His favorite song is “Safety Dance,” sungby the boys only. “We suggested it, and oneof our choir members, Gray O’Reilly, cho-reographed it,” said Chambati. “We have funwhile doing nice dance moves and vocals.”

Also a tenor, senior Wesley Coleman is inhis second year in show choir and Jazz &Pizzazz; he’s also helped out backstage onstage crew. He loves being in the show andcalls it “one of my favorite parts of the year.It’s that big shebang and the cherry on topof everything.”

“It all comes together nicely and reallycloses out the year for the seniors becauseit’s our last time performing on the Chantillystage,” continued Coleman. “I’ve been withmost of these guys in choir for four yearsand we’ve grown like one, big family.”

He likes ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ best because“I’m a rock-and-roll guy and it’s fast-pacedand has a heavy guitar riff and nice basslines, warm brass underneath and tight vo-cal harmonies. And it was choreographedby two alumni, Brynn Harper and LaurenSo.”

Sophomore Lindsay Steinberg is a so-prano who enjoys performing and “seeingthe smiles of the audience members andhow Jazz & Pizzazz brings the communitytogether to see this show each year.” Sheespecially likes “Fighter” by ChristinaAguilera.

“It was student-choreographed by EmilyMeiburg, and we get to be sassy while per-forming it,” said Steinberg. “Overall, it’s areally fun show for the whole family.”

As for alto Taylor Newby, the junior is aformer varsity cheerleader and gymnast. “Ialways loved performing before big crowds,but always had a special place in my heartfor singing,” she said. “So in my freshmanyear, I also joined choir.” Her favorite num-ber is “Sway,” a partner dance. “It’s swingand jazz and a different style of music thanmost people are used to,” she said.”

Newby called Jazz & Pizzazz a “cool showbecause it’s for all ages in an energetic set-ting. People will love the combination ofsinging and dancing, and there’s an audi-ence-participation number, so they’ll get todance and be involved in the show, too.”

Will Morgan-Palmer played asaxophone solo last year with theChantilly Jazz.

“Hey, Mambo” was a high-spirited number during the 2012 Jazz & Piz-zazz.

This is NOT America’s Next Top ModelBy Marc Manaloto

Do you knowwhat I hate?

Ketchup

It’s probably one of themost disgustingthings out there.

What is ketchup anyways?Squished, liquefied, tomatoes?Some people say it’s the blood of boisterous bearsEW!

Many people like ketchupand when I say I don’t like ketchuppeople just have to judge me as ifI was on America’s Next Top Model

Wait. Hold up! People judging others for not likingKETCHUP?

YesPeople are judging others for the mostoutrageous things nowadaysfrom what they wearto how the way they talk or say something

Although it may not come to mindsometimes these words hurtand they don’t leave one’s mindfor a long timeand they pierce one’s heartfor a long timeand they eat away at one’s soulfor a long time

Do not listen to these people

You are who you areNot him, or her,or he, or she,or me!

It’s okay to be yourselfIt’s okay not to like ketchupIt’s okay to wear camouflage pants when there’s

nothing else in your closet!The only opinion that mattersis yours.Because you are beautiful.

Do you knowwhat I love?

You

For not being ashamed of who you areand just being you.

If you’re a Three Stooges aficionado like Iam, you’ve heard Moe Howard say it manytimes to Larry Fine and brother Curly as threestooges attempted to occupy space (doorways,windows, closets, etc.), large enough/wideenough for only one stooge. In short, “recede”means: back off, one at a time, mind yourmanners, and the ever-familiar to us long-timefans: “spread out.”

As I constantly hear radio advertising (andsee some of it on television as well, though notnearly as much) from three grass seed compa-nies: Scotts, Pennington’s and Rebel, ALL THETIME, their frequency is beginning to wear mypatience thin. So far, their message is notgrowing on me. Quite the opposite in fact: It’sirritating me. Nor am I the least bit green withenvy when I hear any of their promotions,comparisons or philosophies. I’m more numbto it. (Now I don’t know if that’s the neuropa-thy from the chemotherapy or not but theeffect seems identical.)

The competition for the needing-to/wanting-to-grow-grass public dollar is saturat-ing my already limited capacity to absorb theirmessage. Now whether this saturation iscaused by filler or a unique high-tech design,the result is that my brain is getting burnt outby this ceaseless pursuit of fescue perfection.With each attempt to grab hold of my grass-growing greenbacks, it makes me ever moremotivated to finally slate-in that patio and/ordeck that haul and forget all about planting,seeding, feeding, watering and havingANYTHING to do with growing grass. I don’twant to “pave paradise” as Joni Mitchell sangabout on “Big Yellow Taxi,” but apparently,unlike these seed companies, I have my limits.As my deceased mother, Celia, said aboutmany things that had overloaded her attentionspan and/or her capacity to tolerate one moresyllable: “It’s enough already.” And she was nostooge. (“Don’t call your mother ‘she!’” I canstill hear my father admonishing me.)

But as I continue to resist the seed compa-nies’ desire to pick my pocket and remove mymoney (“what there is of it”), I’m starting tofeel like a bit of a stooge myself for not follow-ing through on their promises. I mean, whatkind of a moron am I? (“Why? Is there morethan one kind?”). If multiple companies arerunning multiple advertisements on multiplemedia outlets, there must be a reason, right?Presumably, they’re not stupid, and not keenon wasting their hard-earned and hard-fought-for money on a whim and a prayer. It must bethe right time of the year. Spring. When youngmen’s fancy turns to – grass seed. Duh. Peoplemust be responding to/buying their products,so why isn’t yours truly in line with the rest ofgrass-growing society at the local Lawn &Garden store/section somewhere? I’m the per-fect prospect: I own two acres of land andknow nothing about anything (especially per-taining to home and yard maintenance) so areasonably intelligent grouping of wordsshould resonate with me. Who needs morehelp than I do? (That’s a rhetorical questionbecause everyone who knows me knows theanswer.).

But here I sit, on the couch, remote inhand, bemoaning all this advertising emphasison lawn care. I can’t be bothered, though I’mbothered by it. Still, I can’t worry about it toomuch. Maybe I’ll just wait until I get to theother side. I hear the grass is always greenerover there.

News

new tool to paint Cuccinelli and the Re-publican ticket as too conservative for Vir-ginia.

“The vitriol put forth by E.W. Jackson isoffensive and utterly unbecoming of any-one hoping to hold elected office,” saidFred Sainz, vice president of communica-tions for the Human Rights Campaign.“These candidates couldn’t be more outof step with the values that a vast major-ity of Virginia voters hold.”

Although the election for lieutenantgovernor is normally a sleeper, the racethis year has taken increased prominence.Because the state Senate is deadlockedbetween 20 Democrats and 20 Republi-cans, the next lieutenant governor willdetermine which party controls half of theGeneral Assembly. That puts Jackson atthe center of a fight for control of the stateSenate.

“This is the most conservative Republi-can ticket that I can think of over the past30 years,” said Steven Farnsworth, pro-fessor at the University of Mary Washing-ton. “It also comes to the fore at a timethat Virginia has moved very clearly intoa purple state status.”

THE COMING election may be a test casefor how conservative candidates can beand still win. Farnsworth says that theslate of candidates on the ballot are themost conservative in at least 30 years, in-dicating that the state party has drifted tothe right — especially with the dynamicof a convention selecting the most ideo-logically pure candidates possible. Thatleaves moderate Republicans frustrated byan inability to gain traction.

“Virginia Republicans have raised thestakes for anyone who believes that gov-ernment should be about results for Vir-ginia families, and not a platform for anextreme and divisive social agenda,” saidCatherine Waddell, a former Republicanwho represented Richmond in the Houseof Delegates. “None of us can afford to siton the sidelines and let this ticket turnVirginia into a playground for their ex-treme agenda.”

Part of that shift to the right was accel-erated by the move from a statewide pri-mary to a caucus of party faithful. WhenJackson ran in the primary for the U.S.Senate in 2012, he was able to muster onlyabout five percent of the vote — comingin last place in a four-way race. But thedynamics of a convention are very differ-ent, and Jackson led the voting from thestart, even coming close to achieving the50 percent threshold to win on the firstballot. “Jackson might be a drag on theticket for Cuccinelli, or at least a seriousdistraction,” said Geoff Skelly, politicalanalyst for the University of Virginia Cen-ter for Politics. “If Jackson does prove tobe a true liability for the Republican ticket,then they will probably look back on thedecision to shift to a convention with someremorse.”
