A super-size order of one hundred percent Grade A fluffy white snow! Fresh from the mountaintops this morning. Where do ya want it? Hold on! Not yet. That s not till later in the show. Oops, we thought we heard our cue. We re saving it for the grand finale. Oh, the grand finale. Got it. (Stage Hands exit as the Paperboy takes center stage. During the following line, Ollie and Gilbert take their places downstage right.) PAPERBOY: OLLIE: GILBERT: OLLIE: GILBERT: OLLIE: GILBERT: OLLIE: GILBERT: OLLIE: (with great enthusiasm) Extra! Extra! This just in. Forecast calls for wintery conditions. Weatherman predicts a chance of snow. Kids everywhere are getting excited to see the first snowfall of the year! (exits) Did you hear that, Gilbert? Sure did, Ollie. Winter s on the way. Guess it s time to stop wearing your bikini. (chuckles) Very funny, but not as funny as your ugly winter sweater. What do you mean? It took a dozen sheep to make this sweater. Really?! I didn t know sheep could knit. (chuckles) Good one, Gilbert. Say, did you hear what the winter hat said to the wooly scarf? No, what? You HANG AROUND while I go on ahead. (They both laugh.) GILBERT: OLLIE: By the way, I noticed you were only wearing one glove yesterday. Did you LOSE one? Nope. I FOUND one!

We re listening. First of all, as we leap from the clouds, we do so with grace. (together, sweetly, with a plié) Yes, Miss Flurry. (boisterous and rambunctious) We got this, Flurry. (jumps with a thud) Bam! (maintaining her calm, correcting Flake) Light as a feather, ladies. (unison) Light as a feather. Secondly, as you descend, remember, we re floating. We re floating.

(still trying to maintain her calm, correcting Flake) Riding the wind. (unison) Riding the wind. Next, before you land, be sure to scatter. Children may pack you together later, but for now we re creating a blanket of white. (together, sweetly, with a plié) Yes, Miss Flurry. Let s do this, Flurry-meister! (starting to crack) A blanket of white. (unison) A blanket of white. Now then, here we go. And a one, and a two Ready set snow!

GOOSE MOTHER: I don t think they have snowcapped mountains in Florida. GOOSE SISTER: GOOSE FATHER: Yeah Dad, do you know where we are? Of course I do! I ve navigated this flight to Grandma s nest every winter since she retired there. GOOSE BROTHER: Okay. If you say so. GOOSE MOTHER: Maybe we should ask someone for directions. GOOSE FATHER: Directions? Who needs directions?! Follow me. (leading the others down stage right) Look there. It s a sandy beach. GOOSE MOTHER: That s an iceberg, dear. GOOSE FATHER: Oh, right.

19 4. GAME SHOW MUSIC Retro feel (q = ca. 120) (During the music, the Game Show Host and three Contestants take their places center stage.) HOST: Welcome to Freeze-Whiz, the game show that tests your knowledge of winter trivia! Today s contestants include a retired Olympic figure skater, a lumberjack from the great northwest, and an honor student from (insert name of your school here). (Chorus applauds and cheers.) HOST: Let s get started. The categories are Arctic Mammals, Wintertime Treats, Snowmen, and Penguin Potpourri. Contestant number one, which do you choose? CONTESTANT 1: I ll take Snowmen for 250. HOST: CONTESTANT 1: HOST: CHORUS: HOST: CONTESTANT 1: HOST: Okay. What do snowmen wear on their heads? Well, I m not sure. Let me see there s a carrot and maybe some lumps of coal. Wait a minute, it s coming to me. Is it a top hat? Not a bad guess, but that s incorrect. Awww. We were looking for ice cap. Ah, I shoulda known that. Contestant number two, are you ready? Copyright 2014 by Alfred Music

20 CONTESTANT 2: Yep! I ll take Arctic Mammals for 400. HOST: Okay. According to scientists, what does a polar bear eat for lunch? CONTESTANT 2: Gosh, I think they re carnivores so that means they would eat fish? HOST: CHORUS: HOST: Oh, I m sorry. Oooo. The correct answer is icebergers. CONTESTANT 2: How d I miss that? HOST: Moving on. Contestant number 3, which category do you choose? CONTESTANT 3: I ll take Wintertime Treats for double or nothing. HOST: Okay. Your question is what s the difference between a cookie and a reindeer? CONTESTANT 3: Wow, that s a tough one. I m not sure how to answer this. Um one has chips and the other has antlers HOST: Is that your final answer? CONTESTANT 3: No, no, no. Just thinking out loud here. They re both brown, so it s not that. HOST: We need an answer. CONTESTANT 3: Okay. I m going out on a limb here, but I think the difference between a cookie and a reindeer is that (with confidence) you can t dunk a reindeer in your hot chocolate. HOST: CHORUS: That s it! (ad lib. cheers) Yay! Hooray! Alright! (Game Show Host and Contestants may exit or remain on stage for the next song.) Copyright 2014 by Alfred Music

In a few months, the pounds will just melt away. Well, until then I m on a diet. Nothing but Ice Krispies for me. I m more of a Frosted Flakes gal, myself. Say, what are you worried about? You look terrific! What s your secret? Cold cream. Let s get going before you-know-who shows up. I know. If Jack Frost nips at my nose one more time, I ll knock him out cold!

And swirl around in the wind. They almost twinkle in the light. Cool. Sometimes I wonder where they have been, and where they re going. Well, looks like they started up there in those clouds. And they re headed down here to earth. I mean, after that. Maybe they ll be a snowman. Yeah, or a fort. They might land on my windowsill. Or on the top of a ski slope. Maybe we should go sledding. Or have a snowball fight! I know. Let s make angels in the snow. (They may exit or remain on stage for the next song.) Copyright 2014 by Alfred Music
