The end of year concert, the annual school play or maybe even the school musical!
All schools have their plays and pageants giving students an insight into the drama and excitement of life on the stage!

MYF THOMPSON says:
Last year I interviewed a lady for our local museum. She had kept examples of several ‘make do’ costumes from 1960s primary school productions she had worked on. Amongst her innovative ideas were cut up paper doilies for lookalike lace, glued around a square of garbage bag – perfectly good Tyrolean maiden aprons with matching headdress!
Anna Gray says:
Sounds great Mfy! I think the innovative make do costume is becoming a bit of a dying art these days!
