ROOTS OF ROCK

Stanford Lake College was rocking, the Barnyard was rolling-in fact, the whole mountain was "all shook up"! Xerox and the students of Stanford Lake College really did themselves proud with their production of Roots of Rock. A lively cast ensured an entertaining evening of rockin and rollin!

The creative team consisted of Elizabeth Hollestein, Mari Weber, MiniMax, Respiro Studios, Megan Gardiner, Harddrive Productions, DRG Services, Soundmaster and SLC staff. This tremendous amount of combined creative energy resulted in an excellent home grown production, with singing; dancing and acting-to make even the sternest critic applaud.

No less than 150 students participated in this tribute to Rock’s greatest moments with 23 hit songs being presented-ranging from the 50’s right up to the 80’s. In a celebration of Rock’s finest moments, special appearances were made by Chuck Berry, Elvis impersonators, the real Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beatles, Joan Jett, Bruce Springsteen and Freddy Mercury.

The lovely professor W.O.Ow afterwards commented that this was definitely the most memorable visit on her recent world wide tour. In a charming gesture, she has undertaken to assist Mr. Wannabe Rocker on finding a recording studio.
