I am happy to say that three entire grades of our school were out of the building last Friday to experience LIVE music performances! Nothing makes me happier than seeing our students getting on busses and heading out. And that's because they're having wonderful learning experiences, of course! :)
All of our Kindergarten and First Grade students took the long bus trip to Ann Arbor to see Keith Terry and his Body Slammin' Band at the historic Hill Auditorium. Keith Terry is an expert in body percussion. He entertained our students with his stomping, patting, tapping and popping. Though I didn't get to go, I heard the performance was
wonderful and the day was a success all around.
The entire third grade class took the short trip down Woodward to the Max M. Fisher Music Theatre to see a performance by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Our students represented our school amazingly well as they heard the "Instrumental Safari" program in the beautiful historical hall. Some of the highlights were hearing parts of Saint Saens "Carnival of the Animals" and the March from "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
I hope everyone enjoyed the performances and got to share their experiences with their families.
