WE DIDN'T KILL FROSTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two of my friends and I volunteered to make one of those big blow up snowmen dance while one choir sang a song about frosty. When we all were rehearsing the snowman shut off and started to deflate but we kept going so it wouldn't look odd. Our teacher told us to take it off and asked what went off. We told her what happened and she thought it was broken which made my friends and I worried we did something wrong.
On Friday we had the concert and we saw the snowman. So when the time came to take Frosty on stage we grabbed him and walked swiftly on stage. Frosty unplugged and began to deflate so one of my friends ran over to get the cord and plugged him back in and a stage guy ran across the stage to yank the cord so it wouldn't unplug again.
When the curtain came up and the music started we made Frosty sway and move his arms. Next thing we know he turned off and started to deflate again. My friend said in a hushed hurried whisper, "Go down there!" I dropped down to the floor to hold the plug together so it wouldn't turn off. I sat trying to conceal myself behind a few backs of guys that were wearing white and I was wearing red. Next thing I know the base legs for Frosty are falling into the crack between the movable staircase and the regular risers. So, I have one hand on the plug and one hand trying to lift the leg things out of the crack. We all laughed when it was all over with but it was stressful then.
