I remember a musical that was performed at Parsons Elementary School when I was in 5th grade (maybe 6th) so that would make it around 1961-62. I don’t have any pictures of the production and would love to see photos that anyone else might have of it. I think it was called “The Wedding of the Flowers” or something similar. I remember wearing a rose dress made of crepe paper that my Mother made. It was green on top and the skirt was the bright pink rose pedals. The “roses” sang a song, as did the sunflowers, tulips, and other flowers. We all sang “Tiptoe Through the Tulips”. There were several grades that participated–maybe it was school wide? Mrs. Mary Weir headed up the effort with some help from a mother who accompanied each song on the piano. I just remember it being something very special and a much larger production than anything else I participated in. I would love to see pictures taken of the event.<\/p>\n
