STAGE PRESENCE

-- Bullard Banner photo by Kelly Griffith-Fields Bullard Middle School students are busily preparing for this week's production of "High School Musical," the popular Disney movie adaptation for the stage. The story is about two high school students who are worlds apart -- the school's basketball star and the president of the science club -- secretly decide to audition for their school's musical, a decision that turns both their worlds and their school upside down. Performances are at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday at the school, with proceeds benefitting Azleway Boys Ranch.
