The Choir of the boarding school used in the transition scenes that Wood's character belonged to was Maryland's Official Boy Choir, The Maryland State Boychoir. Wood and other cast members were fitted for robes to match the already established actual robes of the choir rather than make and redress an entire choir of extras.
The Boys' Latin School of Maryland's picturesque campus was staged as the site of the fictional Larchfield Prep in several scenes for this episode. Also, students from the Boys' Latin Drama Club and two staff members were given the opportunity to play background acting roles during the one-day shoot just before the first day of school opening in September, 1996.
