And now for something completely different... Sandy Creek presents Madrigal Dinner

Kathy Andersen and Millie Turek, a drama director and the choral director, respectively, at Sandy Creek High School wanted to do something different this year.

It was the most creative thing I have seen on television in quite a while.
