Student Actors Student actors are preparing to begin the docudrama.
Moulage Moulage is the term that describes the application of makeup and effects that replicate real life injuries. Aside from the open fracture of his right arm Mason also has severe head trauma. The pile of pinkish-red mass next to his head is a secret recipe meant to look like brains.	Waiting for Their Cue Collin Underwood ( driver), Cassie Holtman (center passenger),Haley Snow (far right passenger), and Haley Pointer (laying on top of the cab) all wait for the students to begin walking past the scene.	Before the Sirens Maddison Clements and Cambry Schluter wait for the scene to begin.	Waiting All the actors must be in their spots and ready to go. When the student audience begins to file past the scene all actors are staged as if it is in that very first minute of impact... All is quiet as if time is frozen. Once the call goes out over the police radio the actors start playing out the scene.
Actors are staged and in character Actors are staged and in character as the audience walks past the scene.	Staging Up on the flatbed trailer, Mason is getting ready for the docudrama.	Driving Drunk Beer is placed in the passenger vehicle and cans are emptied out around the scene so that the audience can smell the alcohol. Every effort is made to make the crash scenarios as true to real life as possible.	Pinned in the vehicle Upon impact with the flatbed trailer the passenger vehicle is crunched.
Serious Task Mason Brown and Maddison Clements both DOA's are smiling before the docudrama begins. The toughest role is to be a DOA. The impact of being placed in a body bag and in a hearse is difficult. A moment of levity beforehand is very much needed.	Getting Ready to be Transported EMT's prepare the injured victim to be transported by Mercy One air ambulance.	Waiting Ambulances EMT's taking the wounded to waiting ambulances.	Sobering View As the audience leaves the scene and prepares to enter the theater, they must first pass by the hearse. Lying in the back is the "body" of Mason Brown. At his feet is a large mirror that those passing by can see themselves in. The thought in every mind at this time should be .... "That could be me if I drink or drive distracted"
Mercy One Often times air ambulances are called to the scene to transport the critically injured. This year Mercy One responds to the scene.	Serious Injuries The docudrama is not just used for student awareness. It is also used as a drill for all emergency responders. Victims play out their "roles" all the way to the hospital and are treated at the hospital as if this was an actual event. Careful plans are made to create and stage the scene as well as to assign the injuries to the actors. Even the gore of the wounds and injuries is detailed. This MUST be as true to real life as possible.	Preparing to Take-Off	The Grim Task of Removing a Fatality
Waiting Caring for the injured first, the responders cover the body of a fatality until she can be removed	Serious Consequences Every effort is make to be sure that the audience understands how serious things can get with one bad decision.	One Bad Decision.. Is all it takes!	Evidence People are hurt and killed, because laws were broken by the negligence of an individual. There needs to be some answers and those who are responsible will be held accountable.
Every Precaution Back boards and neck braces for every injured passenger that is transported.	On the Scene The call goes out over the radio and the sirens start to wail.. Firetrucks, police cruisers and ambulances arrive on the scene.	FAILED! Maryville Public Safety Officer administers some roadside sobriety tests on the drunk driver.	DWI Drunk Driver is being assessed
If You Can't Walk... You Cant Drive!!!	Getting Rid of the Evidence Realizing that she is in serious trouble, the drunk driver tries to dispose of the evidence.	Hiding the truth One of the injured passengers had a bag of pot in her pocket. She quickly gives it to the drunk driver to hide. The driver tries to stash it in the front fender.	Simulated Open Fractures
Kristina Bliley Laree Lager adds some finishing touches. Kristina is a senior from Jefferson C-123.	Trying to keep things "light" Cassie Holtman, a senior from Maryville High School.	Camera Ready Collin Underwood a senior from Maryville High School.	DOA Mason Brown a senior from Bedford High School

Student Reaction

"The scene itself from the docudrama didn't give me chills but the words from the police officer afterwards is what got to me. The way he explained everything he has to do and what he has to wake up to in the middle of the night. He said that he does this job so no one else has to. He does this job so his kids never have to. Officer Dale really got to me when he spoke to us especially when he spoke about when he has to go to the family's house, pull up into a driveway that he has never pulled into before, and tell a family that their child isn't coming home. It's the longest walk of his life, and that two word speech is the longest speech he has ever had to give. His job has to be one of the hardest jobs, but I respect him for choosing to do it for his kids, neighbors, community and even me. This day has inspired me to want to be a better me. To do the very best that I can and do everything I can possibly do to ensure the safety of myself and the others around me that step into a motor vehicle. I never text and drive but I have been in multiple cases where I have been in the passenger seat and watched someone text while they were driving. I was sitting right there with two available hands and I just watched them. I could have become someone gone too soon or I could have let them become someone gone too soon. After today I refuse to ever let it happen again. I refuse to merely just become one of the statistics of teenage car accidents. Whenever I step foot in a car I will do my very best to make sure that everyone is wearing their seat belt, no one is texting and driving, or drinking and driving. I will do this for the passengers, the other cars on the road, and for Officer Dale. I will not let myself or anyone in my car become his twenty-ninth."
