Highlights from the Dessert Cabaret February 4, 2006

A dessert cabaret was sold out quickly at the Lamoine School. It was a magical evening two days after Jina's Birthday. Scroll down and over to see pictures from the event. There is a DVD of the event. If you would like to order a copy, please e-mail Stu Marckoon (rabbitrunsbs@adelphia.net) for details. Net proceeds will go to the Jina's Gym Fund. Our thanks to Bill Butler for recording the video (some of the pictures below are from that). Approximately $1,400 was raised at the Cabaret

The desserts were scrumptious. While the entertainment was very good, the desserts baked by many from around Lamoine were even better!			Rae Dumont (Keyboards), Otho Knowles, (Bass) and Molly Pitcher (Vocals) warmed up the crowd for a great night of food and entertainment.

	There is no doubt that the highlight of the show was the butterfly dance to Pachelbel's Canon Dancers included Madison Brown, Karla Butler, Alexandra Fitch, Genevieve Goebel, Emily Lawly, Alanna Lindsey, Mairi Manring, Jane Parlee, and Emily Rose. Ironically, this is the same song that Jina and her classmates performed at their 8th grade graduation. It was a touching moment expertly choreographed by Amy Duym.	Josh Duym and the Rhythm Masters performed a variety of blues and jazz numbers that really juiced up the crowd.Josh Duym-guitar, Ross Gallagher-Bass, Duncan Hardy-sax, Seth Braton-Drums;
