Rice High School Stunt Nite 2008

This week's Stuck in Vermont features Rice Memorial High School's annual talent competition, Stunt Nite. I attended the dress rehearsal Monday night and was impressed by all the talent, dedication and teamwork on display.

In just one month, Rice managed to put together four complex 25-30 minute shows (one for each class) and most of the 400+ students were involved, not to mention teachers, parents and alumni. 

Next year is the 80th anniversary of Stunt Nite and I can't wait to sit in the crowd and cheer on these real-life High School Musical kids.

I posted some dress rehearsal pics to Facebook and am also posting some here:

Below is a complete list of the Stunt Nite 2008 winners:
