Hi musicians:  I created this page so that you could practice anywhere, anytime.  You will find the script and a link to a youtube video of another school performing this show and two other songs.  Please use the videos as a way to practice the songs.  The script is different than the one on the video.  We will also perform the songs with different motions, but the tunes are the same.  Have fun!!!!

Find your name in the script, print script and memorize!  Be ready to rock your part when we get back from vacation!
