1. My gf played Maria in her HS version

and a good friend played Riff, who was the coolest character since, er, Mercutio.

2. I'm in that show right now!

I play a shark, but the Jets have a better song.

When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way!
From your first cigarette to your last dying day!

3. No, but they attended my high school when I was there (seriously)

One of the most popular family bands since the introduction of the Jackson 5 and The Osmonds, THE JETS made their public debut in 1985 on the MCA Record label.

Formed in 1977 by their parents in Salt Lake City, Utah the 8 original Jets were LeRoy, Eddie, Haini, Eugene, Rudie, Kathi, Elizabeth and Moana, the 8 oldest siblings of the 17 children of Maikeli and Vake Wolfgramm.

With an incredible 6 year run from 1985 to 1991, The Jets had 8 National Top Ten records, and sold more than 5 million albums worldwide. Their Hits like, "Make it Real", and "You Got it All", are still being played today in light rotation on adult contemporary Radio stations across the nation.
