May 8, Wiscasset Elementary School presented an evening of art and music for students, families and the community. The Art Show featured work from all students in grades K-5. The hallways bristled with excitement for the many amazing works from all of our students.
Art teacher Liz Proffetty displayed hundreds of pieces of student work using many different media. A highlight was the hall that featured art representing the timeline of man.
The music concert took place that same evening with the kindergarten, first, second and third grade students presenting a concert themed “Smile!” Students were excited to perform on the school stage for their families and friends. Kindergarten and first grade students opened the show with several songs including “I Love to Smile, ” “If You’re Happy and You Know It, ” “Boom Boom, Ain’t it Great to Be Crazy?” and “I Like to Have Fun.” Two other favorites were movement routines. One was set to Johann Strauss II’s “Pizzicato Polka, ” and the other was “Galop, ” from Kabalevsky’s „The Comedians,“ where students performed a colorful scarf routine while third graders played along on the Orff instruments.
Then, the second and third graders presented their portion of the concert. Their songs included “Smile, ” “Just For Fun, ” “S-M-I-L-E,“ “Smile, Smile, Smile” and the ever popular „Happy. ” They also included a movement routine to Offenbach’s “Can Can” that featured students moving smiley face plates in unison to the music.
The finale was all students singing and dancing to “Miles of Smiles. ” Students worked very hard to memorize all the music and movement for this show and the audience congratulated them on their successful performance with rousing applause!
May 29, the WES fourth and fifth grade chorus, beginner band and the Wiscasset Middle High School chorus and band will perform their concert for the community at WMHS at 6 p.m. Please join us! Thank you to our Wiscasset community for continuing to support music in our schools as it remains a vital part of each and every child’s education.
