Spring Concert 2014: We All Have a Rhythm


The spring concert this year was an informance, in which the students informed the audience of things they learned through their performance. We started things out with our 4th and 5th grade bucket ensemble. These students worked very hard and gave up 8 lunch recesses to learn "Bucket Rock 101" by Mark Shelton (from his book Give Me a Bucket, Heritage Music Press, a division of The Lorenz Corporation; used with permission). They worked together to come up with a name, and they decided to call themselves The Big Bang.
