Outdoor Movie - The Sound of Music

Have you ever thought that it might be fun to sit outside with 200 other people and watch an old movie? Well, our utilities department thought that this would be a blast and so they set up an outdoor movie theater at the top of Chalet Hill. The Sound of Music was chosen as the movie to watch. The words to the music were displayed on the bottom of the screen so we could all sing along. The movie began at 9pm and lasted until midnight. We began with yard blankets on the grass and progressed to jackets and down comforters. A few even spent the night.
We all entered via a red carpet and a gate. As we went through we were given a ticket with a number for a chance to win a door prize. Our Utilities department really does a bang up job.

As time drew near people began to come up the hill to find their spot.

Nancy, Mark and Lee (the utilities people) made announcements in style.

The screen was a huge tarp drawn up between two buildings. The picture quality was awful but the sound was fine. We could read the words to sing along and most of us stayed till the end. We all had a wonderful time.

What, no trek to 3rd level and the screen stayed in place for the entire movie and didn't blow down?
