Vannaires Take Over The Yogurt Shoppe

Enjoying frozen yogurt after a performance one evening in 1987, we realized the first song hadn't been videotaped. Since we were the only people in the joint, the owner allowed us to move the tables aside and videotape our missing song, "You There, In the Back Row"! So very FAME, or perhaps more like GLEE!

Transcript:
Off camera:
:10 - MS. BLACKWELL: What was that?
:12 - ADAM (?) - Is it on?
:14 - CARLTON: It is, yeah, it's loud.
:16 - MS. BLACKWELL: Well turn it down then.
:17 - CARLTON: Let's wait and see how it sounds.
:19 - ADAM (?): It's not going.
:20: CARLTON: Don't tell me! Just wait and see how it sounds and then we'll start it again.
:22 -- JON MURRAY: (On camera) Oh come on!
:24 -- ADAM -- I got a great shot of what they have to choose from, you know, they've got gummy bears.... I think maybe I should...
JUMP
:32 -- LESLI -- Don't hit me now!
:34 (?) -- Be prepared to turn it down...
:39 ON CAMERA -- CARLTON adjusting his pants or something, MS. BLACKWELL on the ground with the tape recorder. (It was a cassette tape!) LESLI turns.
:42 -- LESLI -- Okay you guys!
:43 - ON CAMERA -- MALAYNA makes strange hand gestures to her brother, ADAM, behind the camera. Garbled conversation.
:47 -- MS. BLACKWELL -- Tape's running!
:48 - ON CAMERA -- MS. BLACKWELL runs across the frame and sticks out her tongue at ADAM.
:51 -- MUSIC & CHOREOGRAPHY BEGIN -- Jon Murray, Lesli Latt & Helen enter with jumps and kicks. Then Cedric leaps while the rest of us scramble for our places in the small area.
1:02 -- SINGING BEGINS
"Win some, lose some," - on screen from left: Dominga, Jon, Lesli in front; Malayna & Beth in back.
"left with hope in tatters" -- camera pans to reveal Carlton at the back center, and Cedric in front, with Jenny behind.
"This time, next time" -- camera pans further to reveal Michelle and Helen in front, Carissa in back.
"Only one thing matters. Keep on, going,
Spotlights, music playing. You will see me, trying, hoping, praying.
You there, in the back row! Love me, when I sing my song.
Hear me, loud and clear and strong.
Tell me that you need those dreams I bring you, sing these words I sing you, show me I'm not wrong.
Reach out through the shadows, your hand taking hold of mine. Touch me, light my life with sunshine.
Need me, can't you see how I need you?"
2:11 -- "Dreaming's what I do" -- Dominga creatively changes the choreo!
"Show me dreams come true... You there in the back row, want me, watch me sing my song for you.
Spotlights, new heights, can't explain this feeling. New plot, lines taught, scenes just made for stealing.
Voices soaring,
2:51 -- "All for one together. Steps learned, heads turned," -- Dominga close up!
2:55 - "make this last forever" -- Lesli close up!
3:02 "You there in the back row" -- Carlton reaches out as chorus repeats.
3:38 -- "Need me" -- Carlton's characteristic head snap!
3:49 -- Another of Dominga's choreo moments -- distracted by the close up.
4:08 - "Watch me sing my song for you" -- Carlton's tree-limb arms always rose above the rest!
4:18 -- Lesli does the splits!
4:25 -- Yogurt shop owner, and our accompanist, John "Sush", in the background.
4:27 -- Dennis, the page turner for Sush, stands.
4:29 -- ADAM -- Wait up, wait up! (As we see his adolescent face on camera!)
