Young Americans Display Myriad Musical Talents
by Mary Ann Yarbrough
Some 1,000 persons
poured into the TSC audi-
torium Wednesday night,
Nov. 11, to see the musical
group, 'The Young Ameri-
cans' perform in concert.
The group had some
probelms in getting to Ste-
phenville to perform, be-
ginning with the reschedul-
ing of the performance from
Monday night to Wednesday
night because of a con-
flicting Ed Sullivan show
taping. The group had some
difficulty in catching the
correct planes and instead
of arriving at 3:30 as pre-
viously planned they ar-
rived around 6:00. The
lights for the stage didn't
arrive, so members of the
TSC drama department
brought the lighting down
from the attic and set it
up for the singers.
Finally, in spite of
all these difficulties, The
Young Americans, accom-

panied by a nine-piece
orchestra, did swing into
two hours of enthusiastic
singing and dancing.
The young" men and
women opened the show with
a 'Do Your Own Thing' type
performance where each
member was able to show
his or her own particular
talent. The songs (as well
as the talent) ranged, from
opera to country and west-
Comedy and dancing were
combined in a number from
the show 'South Pacific'
called 'Honey Bun' which
featured the boys of the
group in wigs and grass
skirts.
The audience was given
a chance to display their
rhythm and enthusiasm by
over-the-head hand clapping
to the folk-rock song 'Bro-
ther Love.'
After the intermission,
The Young Americans did
their salute to the minstrel
shows. The group performed
a take-off of the vaudeville
shows, featuring, a 'strong
woman' and a 'magician'
among others.
A melody of songs from
the broadway musical'Okla-
homa' was performed. The
group then donned 'hippie'
garb to perform some songs
from the musical 'Hair.'
After the finale, which
featured the patrotic 'This
Land Is Your Land,' the
audience gave the young
performers a rousing, stand-
ing ovation.
