“Celebrate the Holidays” is coming...to DAA!
Hello DAA community!
By now, you have probably heard your child/children sharing their excitement about our upcoming concert, “Celebrate the Holidays”. This is a huge undertaking for the Elementary School at DAA as all 500+ students are working together to bring this mini-musical to you in December.
By working together on choreography, songs, performance posture, stage etiquette, and spoken dialogue, your children have gained first-hand experience of preparing for a theatrical production! Hard-work, responsibility, commitment, dedication, and leadership are just a few of the life-skills that your children have practiced each and everyday in music class!
I have been amazed at the sense of responsibility that our students show. The ES Music Blog is updated to reflect the activities happening in music class.
Great care was taken to organize the concerts so that holidays from different cultures were reflected throughout the performances. Depending on the grade level, the songs will reflect Ramadan, Diwali, St. Lucia Day, a freedom song from South Africa, SinterKlaas, Central American Spanish Christmas and songs that celebrate the winter and the holiday season.
Concert Times:
- 3rd Grade: Tuesday, December9@11:50pm
- 4th Grade: Wednesday, December10@12:30pm
- 5th Grade: Thursday, December11@12:30pm
Concert Dress:
- Bottoms: Black trousers (or long black skirt BELOW THE KNEE is acceptable)
- Shoes: Black or dark-colored,closed-toe shoes (no light-up runners)
- Tops: Entirely Black OR Entirely White shirt/blouse--no designs, colors, words, etc.
This is a great opportunity for students to share their learning at home become your “teachers.” Consider taking time over the next couple of weeks to talk about, explore, practice, dance, and sing. Help us to make this an experience that the students won’t soon forget. They are so excited to know that YOU are excited to watch them!
Looking forward to seeing you at the performances and singing all the way.
Musically yours,
Ms. Rich kat.rich@gemsdaa.net
