GEORGETOWN – Spots filled the gymnasium of Otselic Valley Elementary School yesterday, as fifth and sixth grade students performed the dress rehearsal of the elementary school musical 101 Dalmatians for the rest of the school.

The kindergarten through fourth grade students waited patiently as the performers worked through the usual snafus associated with a dress rehearsal and enjoyed the expected and unexpected twists in the familiar tale.

Teachers and students have been working on the production for months.

“Mrs. (Winnie) Sortman (school music teacher) has been working on the songs since September,” fifth grade teacher Lori Youngs told the audience, explaining how much hard work had gone into creating the 40 minute production.
