Kaleidoscope Concert

Congratulations to the 5th graders who performed in the Kaleidoscope concert tonight! Everyone did a fantastic job, and you made us all proud.

"Music Alone Shall Live" (music starts at 0:52)

"An American Celebration" (music starts at 2:00)

I got pretty excited when I heard that the high school percussionists were going to do a small feature using rhythms from Riverdance. Fun fact: I, Ms. Galligan, was an Irish dancer for 6 years throughout middle school and high school.

Here's the dance where they got the rhythm:

Another fun fact: Michael Flatley (the solo dancer in the video) toured with Riverdance for a short time before creating his own show, Lord of the Dance. His legs are insured for $40,000,000. Yes, that is the right number of zeros. By the way, he also plays the flute!
