A note about the images:  All photos were taken during a dress rehearsal using available light without fill flash using a Nikon D70 with a Nikon DX/AF-S Auto Nikkor 18-70mm zoom set to auto white balance at iso800.  The images were resized and compression adjusted for posting but were not color corrected.
