Dexter, Missouri – The Dexter High School Choir department will present “The Sound of Music” on Thursday, November 20th, Friday, November 21st, and Saturday, November 22nd.
“The Sound of Music” is a musical from 1959 with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. It is based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp and The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. You will recognize many of the songs from the musical, Edelweiss, My Favorite Things, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, and Do-Re-Mi. And of course the song title The Sound of Music most of us can sing by heart.
