Shalom and Mazeltov!! The Donegal High School Marching Unit is proud to welcome you to a performance of their 1998 production, selections from the classic Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof. The story takes place in Anatevka, an impoverished peasant village in czarist Russia, populated by hard-working Jewish famalies. The time is 1905, on the eve of the Russian revolutionary period. Tevye, the dairyman, is trying to raise his three oldest daughters--Tzeitel, Hodel, and Chava--according to quotations from the Scripures, and by the age-old laws of tradition.

Tradition opens the show, as the Jewish people celebrate the age-old ways that have sustained their culture. Next, Tzeitel, Hodel, and Chava gather together for a tender and haunting Sabbath Prayer. The third number, Weddin Celebration and Bottle Dance celebrates the joyous occasion of Tzeitel's wedding. Finally, Anatevka brings forth the bittersweet memories the people have of their beloved town, as they are forced from their homes to begin their lives again in a Strange, New Place.

The Unit is under the direction of Mr. Dale Sellers and under the field direction of drum majors Leslie Hoffer and Kathy Musser. This year's group is comprised of 46 instrumentalists and 8 color guard members. In addition to Tournament of Bands competitions, the unit performs at all school football and pep events, as well as many community festivals, fairs, and parades throughout the year.

The soloists for this year's show are: Trumpet: David Fantom, Monica George, and Jill Schreffler; Mellophone: Christopher Leiby; Trombone: Brandon Evans; Baritone: Kathy Musser; and Clarinet: Joyce Ober.
