February 22nd, 2003 in the Galileo Auditorium
Galileo alumni and friends were treated to a nostalgic show of Broadway melodies at the first Galileo Gala on February 22nd, 2003 in the Galileo Auditorium.
Produced by Sid Kellner, the show featured some talented performers who entertained the audience with their singing. Patti Leidecker opened the show with "There’s No Business Like Show Business". Patti , a talented composer, singer and piano player appears regularly at Marcello’s in Danville and on Wednesday nights at Clint Eastwood’s Mission Ranch in Carmel. Soprano Ingrid Fedge followed with "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever" and glamorous soprano Pamela Brooks sang "Fly Me To The Moon". Carol Rand sang "Bewitched" and tenor Douglas Bryson rendered "Unchained Melody". Doug’s voice combined with Ingrid’s in a duet from "Phantom of the Opera", and Pam followed with the Frank Sinatra standard, "All of Me". Carol offered "Over the Rainbow" and along with Ingrid sang a unique "Summertime" duet. Pam then filled the air with "All The Things You Are". Doug returned with "O Sole Mio" without a mike. Just before the intermission, comedian David Wolf went through his Jerry Lewis imitations.
In the second part of the show, Doug and Carol teamed up on two numbers from "Carousel", "If I Loved You" and "You’ll Never Walk Alone". Pam sang the beautiful "Wind Beneath My Wings" and she and Doug did a couple of Nelson Eddy songs, "Indian Love Call" and "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life". The emotional highlight of the afternoon was Patti’s own composition, written after 9/11, "Our Flag Still Stands".
The Galileo honor guard presented the colors and Principal Margaret Chiu and the student body president both spoke. GAA President Jim Dresser addressed the audience and said, "You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!", promising many new and exciting events in the months to come. Most of the audience was from the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, and several students attended. The Galileo Lion, the school mascot, generously posed for pictures with many alumni.
