Fab Friday

A lot to post today...   This semester is all about musical theater in preparation for our spring Scenes and Songs performance on May 14th. In these clips, our familiar friend Nick Patera (a.k.a. SopranoAltoTenorBass Man) does it again with his mash-ups of musical greats. (In the past, I have shown Nick Patera's On Man Disney Medley - it remains my fave) There seem to be a lot of fans of Les Miserables out there (again!). The musical was a big deal when I was in high school, but the recent movie has prompted a whole new generation of followers. Viewer beware!!!  Nick maintains the original lyrics from the show...there is one foul word in the "Master of the House" bit.  Then, he does a medley from the Disney musical Newsies. The 7th graders are singing a tune from it, and the 6th graders have been watching it.  And just to lighten things up a little, I added a classic Muppets clip of "Do Re Mi". I remember this one from the weekly airing of The Muppet Show growing up! Well, I guess I just dated myself again! :0)

Also, a quick shout-out to the MVMS students who went to ISSMA State Solo and Ensemble this weekend:

All of them received a GOLD rating! Isn't that awesome? Congrats to Erica Lohman, Felicity Kratky, Kailee Isham, Tess Barnett, and Makayla White for their efforts!
