The Sisseton Indian School presents a week of events starting Sunday June Eleventh with a band concert, retreat, and annual sermon. Elabored activities include field sports piano recital and baseball, followed by an operetta Princess Chrysanthemum on June Fifteenth with scenes and pageantry featuring students and staff.
A Wednesday piano recital lists performances by Vivian Barse Rebecca Philbrick and others. Includes solo piano works by several composers, duets, quartettes and a trio with multiple ensembles led by Barse Robertson Mossman and Harris, featuring titles such as Rondo Caprice Serenade Espagnole and The Trumpet Call.

Prince So-Tru and Prince So-Sli vie for affection while Saucer-Eyes the wizard cat abducts the princess to the Cave of Inky Night. Fairy Moonbeam assists, a ring is found, and the emperor captures Saucer-Eyes. The princess intervenes, pardons are granted, and Chrysanthemum wed So-Tru as harmony returns.
