After months of early morning rehearsals, today was the final chorus show for our fifth grader. The show was called BROADWAY BEAT...a compilation of hit songs from Broadway plays.
Brynn, Faith, Allison and Lorien were all part of the first dance "You Can't Stop the Beat" from Hairspray.
They sure rocked it out up there!
These four girls introduced the songs while waiting for a taxi cab to take them to Broadway. They were finally picked up by the taxi driver, Cooper, and actually entered the Cash Cab...answering trivia questions based on Broadway trivia. It was so cute!
There were performances about Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Annie,
The Lion King,
Peter Pan
and a very sweet song from Wicked with pics of our chorus kids displayed on the screen while the girls sang.
Then there was a final tribute to our fifth graders from Grease. Most of these kids have been in chorus for 3 years and have made many memories in the process. Mrs. McBride has been a wonderful teacher and her creativity and passion for performing arts have been such a blessing to our school.
With only two weeks left, I'm starting to get a little emotional with all of the "lasts" in elementary school. Matt took Allison to the final performance tonight and he got choked up too. I can't believe there won't be any more early mornings for rehearsal or any more performances to mark on the calendar, but these kids certainly ended on a high note!!
