In my years as the music teacher at Battle Monument School, we've done some memorable productions, including Beauty & the Beast, Annie, and adaptations of shows like American Idol & Survivor (where folks were voted ONTO the island!) There is nothing like kids performing on stage!
May 1st we're doing our own milder version of Grease, and this clip shows the summer fling between Danny & Sandy, which we set at nearby North Point State Park. (What a hoot trying to imply "summer" when one of our filming dates was 40 degrees w/no leaves on the trees!) The music is from the first scene of the movie. We'll be showing it on a big-screen TV the night of the show. It's posted for Jim & Kristie, who taught these two students prior to relocating to KY, and for the families of our stars, Amanda & John (who graciously gave their permission.) Amanda & John should be up for some Academy recognition! We had so much FUN! (Inspiration came from my brother, who's pulled these kinds of things off for me in the past.)
I'm also feeling sentimental, as I'll be taking a leave of absence next year. I've always said my students taught me more about life than I ever taught them about music, and I will miss those life-lessons next year!
