Experts say only 20 percent of a household's flea popula tion will be on your pet. The rest are hiding in carpets and corners.

Before ending the rehearsal and dismissing the group for dinner, Hawk had just a few more pieces of advice.

Then they took their seats in the auditorium to watch the first hour of the show. One alto member, Stephanie Little, said that things were pretty calm all night "until we got backstage and behind the curtains. Once we could see all the lights and all the people and smoke, we got real hyped up. It was very exciting." Brian Payne, Carolina Alive tenor and lead singer for local band Public Ayes, agreed.
