New curtains go up in auditorium

   

   
     Chadron High School received new curtains in the auditorium in August. 
     The new curtains consist of a red main curtain with black side curtains, while the old ones were grey with black side "curtains," which were actually two king sized bed sheets sewn together, attached to wooden boards and wire holding it above the stage. 
     Principal, Mr. Mack said the reason for the new curtains was that the old ones were torn, faded, and looked some what rotten. It was also a huge safety issue with the side curtains. The school had looked for places to donate the old curtains to, but they were just so rotten, faded, and looked so bad that the school decided to dispose of them.
     Mr. Mack said, "The cost was around $17,000 which included travel expenses for the installers, installation and removal, a one year warranty, new tracks, plus two side curtains." 
     All of the funding for the new curtains came from fundraising and local donations, including a generous donation from the Chadron Schools' Foundation. 
     Chadron High School hired Heartland Scenic Studio, Inc. Mr. Mack said, "I love the new curtains. They are much safer, more adjustable with the side pieces, and made the auditorium look much nicer. The next step would be to redo the seating in the auditorium."
