Tenth Age Performing Arts Show
As reported before in my blog, the Calvert Fine and Performing Arts program is thriving. With each passing month, there are new and improved events, beautiful projects on display, and high-quality performances from a variety of grade levels. On Friday, the showcase activity was the Tenth Age Performing Arts Show. The participation was so strong--24 acts!--that we had to move the event up to 1:30 PM from its original start time of 2:00. Forty-six students (a full two-thirds of the grade) performed during three different Acts: Dance, Poem/Instrumental, and Vocal/Band. The students were terrific! There was truly a great diversity of skills on display: piano, poetry recitation, rock 'n roll, pop, and modern dance, just to name a few. What started out as a 20-30 minute show in the music room two years ago has quickly evolved into a 90 minute show in the Auditorium. I am very proud of all the performers!
