HAMLET — It was the type of performance that no matter where you walked in, you could catch up pretty quickly.
And if you left early, well, you only missed out on more laughter.
Students in grades 1 through 5 at Second Baptist Day School in Hamlet performed Tuesday night to an engaged audience inside a packed school gymnasium. It was standing room only as dignitaries, as portrayed by students, entered the stage one by one.
Colin Wheeler was Buck Owens, Colt Lee was Johnny Cash and Laci Ricks was Minnie Pearls. Dylan Lampley played Charlie Pride and Samuel Hawks was Alan Jackson while Tate Craven, Nick Smith and Evan Hodges played the chipmunks. Throw in Dillon Butler, Gray Maultsby, Spencer Harwood and Bryant Willis as the Oakridge Boys for the performance of “Elvira.”
If visitors didn’t laugh until they cried, perhaps they weren’t paying attention. Regardless, there was one central message for the evening: Merry Christmas, from the students, staff and faculty of Second Baptist Day School.
