MMS REHEARSAL SCREW-UPS

So it appears a group of sixth graders, perhaps more from other grades, were forced to be at rehearsals for the Maplewood Middle School's production of Annie Get Your Gun Monday afternoon, from 2:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. and never rehearsed.

Some students said they were not allowed to leave, even though their part of the show never took the stage, until nearly 7 p.m..

Big praise for the volunteer parents who oversee the show, but you could let children know that they will not be rehearsing instead of making them sit around for four hours.
