HIgh Wycombe Gang Show


On March 29th, we went to see the first night performance of the High Wycombe Scout and Guide Gang Show.  A Gang Show is a theatrical performance involving members of Scouting and Guiding of all ages.  The Princes Risborough Ranger leaders used to *be* in the Gang Show, once upon a (very) long ago!) time,  but the Rangers were all newcomers to it.  We were in the very top row of the theatre, which was a bit vertigo inducing, but we soon settled in to our seats and sat back for the show. 

We were treated to a whole variety of numbers, including a wonderful version of Take That’s “Hold Up A Light” as the opening number, some amusing sketches, a wedding themed number and a pirate themed one, a great rock and roll “hop” medley, complete with twirly rock and roll skirts.  The whole show was finished off with a medley of songs from the show, ending with “Crest of a Wave”, the traditional Gang Show songs, complete with the High Wycombe Gang Show moves to it, which the PR Ranger Leaders performed with gusto, thoroughly embarrassing the Rangers!
Well done to all the cast, it was a great achievement and a really enjoyable show!
