Eden Prairie residents are invited to the 29th Annual Eden Prairie Foundation Ball, which will take place on March 27, 2010, at the Minnetonka Southwest Marriott. The theme for this year’s event is “One Enchanted Evening.”
“And this is definitely not your grandfather and grandmother’s quiet, dour gala. This is a ‘let your hair down’ and ‘boogie the night away’ event that celebrates the best about living and working in Eden Prairie,” according to a news release.
This year’s Eden Prairie High School Winterguard show goes in different direction from last year’s child-like frolic. How different? The title of the show is “Hitchcock.”
The group’s show is set to the score of “Psycho,” with occasional audio clips of famed director Alfred Hitchcock.
“It’s really suspenseful and full of surprises,”said senior Jessica Hanson.
Winterguard director Molly Norton got the idea for the show based on an album she discovered a few years ago, titled “Music to be Murdered By.”
As he prepares to leave the nest, Charlie Crocker reflects on the busiest job at EPHS
They said, as long as he was cool with wearing tights, “I could get the job,” said Charlie Crocker. That was three years ago, and since that time, Crocker has dutifully donned the Eagle suit for game after game at Eden Prairie High School. Life as the Eagle mascot might be one of the busiest gigs at EPHS, but it's something that Crocker, now a senior, has set his sights on since he was a little kid.
“I’ve always wanted to be the mascot.”
Eden Prairie High School Winterguard will perform this weekend during Prairie Colors. The show, which will include a number of Winterguard teams from around the metro, begins at 7 p.m. at EPHS (17185 Valley View Road).
