Opening the show were the “Speechettes”. They smarted it off with a * 'jpg * * by ■■ U' 'S'W'CC’f ' number entitled "It’s Talent Tumble Time”, Following this they sang an arrangement of “Easter Parade.” The members of the Speechettes are Sharon Michaud, Sue Petire, Marilyn Jefferies, Donna Small and Sara Brunnegraff.
