It's that time of year when Porters Point School students prepare for their whole-school musical. This year we will be doing "Squirm!" by John Jacobson and John Higgins. These two men really know how to write an age-appropriate (and fun) mini musical! We have done several musicals written by them, including "How Does Your Garden Grow?", "Three of a Kind", "Hats", and "The Cheese Stands Alone", just to name a few.
During music classes, the story and songs have been introduced to students. We draw on past experiences of performing in a different space from our own building -- Colchester High School. We are fortunate to have that space, otherwise our school is just too small to take on a project like this. Students practice and practice at our home school, then take a bus to the High School for a dress rehearsal. The same evening as the dress rehearsal is when we perform for parents, friends and the community. It really is an event not to miss!

Please stay tuned for more details and look for notes going home with your children from the "Porters Point Music Department".
