Behind The Scenes of “The Manliest Show in Town” |
March 21, 2018 |
by Ashley Guttin
What happens when you take 11 of the manliest
senior boys of Bonners Ferry High School and put
them through two weeks of intense practices to
put on the most masculine show Boundary County
has to offer?
Well, every year the Bonners Ferry High School
Forget-Me-Nots (The Distinguished Young Women
participants from the previous year) volunteer
their time to train the soon-to-be male
graduates of our local high school to go through
a similar preparation process as the DYW women
go through every year. This year our 11 brave
young men participating in Mr. BFHS are Seamus
Skeen, Nikolous Bertling, Jesse Sandelin, Zac
Duffens, Kendall Stone, Shayne Walker, Amar
Fischer, Chris Sabin, Mason Eby, Shiloh Thomas,
and Malin Worley. They are a combination of the
most suave, witty, and intelligent men BFHS has
to offer, and they are ready to display it all
on stage this Friday, March 23rd.
Mr. BFHS isn’t just a comedic parody of
Distinguished Young Women. The categories these
men are really judged on are Talent, Lip Sync,
Self-Expression, and Fitness. Our charismatic
participants have a limited amount of time to
prepare their acts before they are in the
spotlight in front of their community for a
performance they'll never forget.
Shiloh Thomas, an ultra-masculine competitor,
talked about his feelings toward these
categories. He said he was “least excited for
lip sync because he can't dance and is
uncoordinated”, but “he is most excited for
talent because they are going to be really funny
this year.” The Forget-Me-Nots have been helping
them with their routines and choreography for
the past two weeks, making sure they are show
ready Friday night!
Of course Mr. BFHS is the most humorous event of
the year, but it is also a fundraiser for the
senior class of 2018. The proceeds they earn
from the community’s support helps them go on
their senior trip, an annual tradition that
helps our seniors make those long lasting
memories!
One of our macho competitors, Nikolous Bertling,
explained why he decided to participate in Mr.
BFHS. “I did it for our class’ sake because
there weren’t enough guys participating. However
I was pretty intrigued with the idea of doing
something ridiculous.”
Mr. BFHS is a great way for these men to have
fun on stage and showcase their personalities we
have all come to know and love! So come down to
the BFHS Becker Auditorium this Friday, March
23rd at 7:00 p.m., to witness the manliest show
in town! Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and tickets
cost $10 for adults, $5 for students and senior
citizens, and free for children 3 and under! All
are welcome to come and support the class of
2018 to see who will be crowned Mr. BFHS!
