Our 6th graders last week performed the musical Pirates of Penzance to a packed house of parents, siblings and friends. The performance was videotaped and captured using a digital audio recorder, for a very clean soundtrack. While the kids may flinch at seeing/hearing themselves now, I expect that the recordings will hold important memories for the future.
Cudos to our music teacher, Becca Brink, for taking on such an ambitious task. As with most areas of the arts, the performance of Pirates required much more of students than other content areas. Memorizing lines, assuming a character, singing and acting in front of your classmates, coping with nerves – all this reveals parts of ourselves safely hidden away in a math class.
