Bellefontaine High School presented its annual spring musical over the weekend.

Large crowds gathered to watch Bye Bye Birdie in the high school auditorium on Friday and Saturday nights.

The story is about Albert Peterson and Rosie Alvarez trying to figure out what to do when their star musical client, Conrad Birdie, is drafted into the army. Their plan is to have him kiss a fan, selected at random, as a "goodbye” just before his departure. The main storyline follows Albert and Rose to Sweet Apple, Ohio, to carry out their plan. However, things do not go entirely according to plan, and the town of Sweet Apple is thrown into chaos.

The large cast started rehearsing in December.

Brice Henry directed the show.

Brian Hogan was the assistant director.

Other leaders included Keri Fergus (costumes), Jere Daniels (lights), Quinten James (sound), Chelsea Jay (orchestra pit director), Robin Henry (set designer), and Trinity Floyd and Maverick Aldo (choreographers).
