Fourth Grade Celebrates The Beginning Of Flight

Fourth grade band, strings and choral students transported an audience of parents, faculty and friends to the 1900’s during their production of “Wright! Celebrate the Beginning Of Flight” on March 1.

The students told the story of the Wright Brothers and their flying machine through modern day rap, song and narration. The story, narrated by a group of student reporters, follows Orville and Wilbur’s journey to inventing the first successful airplane.

The journey in the Barker Performing Arts Center began with Mr. Bruce A. Huber’s fourth grade concert band playing nine selections from the time period including the German Hymn “Crusader’s March” and the American Folk Song “Skip It, Lou.”

Huber and the band then turned the program over to the Strings Ensemble, directed by Mrs. Belen Clifford. The violinists, cellists and percussionists played a traditional Native American song accompanied by student Katie Pyle’s chant as well as three other selections.

Mrs. Carolyn Montini concluded the program with her fourth grade choral students as they charted the history of the Wright brothers through rap, song and artful narration.
