you. We ask that you keep that in mind as you walk around the grounds. Do not
venture beyond the orange cones at the edges of the fairgrounds. Do not go into the
cornfields or the woods. Please keep the free roaming to a minimum. Even if you don't
feel like watching the movie, your fellow students may feel otherwise, so please be
courteous: no talking, no playing music, no running around. The restrooms are located
on the other side of the concession stands. After the movie is over, it will be quite dark,
so we ask that all of you stay with your schools as you make your way back to your
buses. Teachers, there's usually at least one lost party on Big Movie Nights at
Broarwood: don't let it happen to you! Tonight's movie presentation will be . . .
The
Sound of Music !"
I immediately started clapping, even though I'd seen it a few times before, because it
was Via's favorite movie of all time. But I was surprised that a whole bunch of kids (not
from Beecher) booed and hissed and laughed. Someone from the right side of the field
even threw a soda can at the screen, which seemed to surprise Mr. Tushman. I saw
him stand up and look in the direction of the can thrower, though I knew he couldn't see
anything in the dark.
The movie started playing right away. The stadium lights dimmed. Maria the nun was
standing at the top of the mountain twirling around and around. It had gotten chilly all
of a sudden, so I put on my yellow Montauk hoodie and adjusted the volume on my
hearing aids and leaned against my backpack and started watching.
The hills are alive . . .
