National and State standards in music have a section on preparing for and performing in a concert.  This year students in Grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been practicing songs from the Motown era for our annual concert at River Ridge High School.  Whether or not your student can attend this event, it is expected that they learn the songs  by memorization while using proper breath control, and posture.  Letters and DVD order forms went home in their Tuesday folder on January 17th and can be downloaded from here:  Motown-Permission-for-Concert-2017 and here: DVD order form MOTOWN 2017. The words to the songs (lyrics) were sent home in the Tuesday folder on January 24th.  Grades 2 and 3 lyrics sheets can be found here:MOTOWN 2-3 LYRICS, and grades 4 and 5 lyrics sheets can be found here:MOTOWN 4-5 LYRICS.

The dress code for this concert is very eclectic.  Students are allowed to wear jeans with bright colored t-shirts or t-shirts with Motown logos (Walmart, Target, Amazon carry a variety).  You are encouraged to google the style of clothing during the several decades of Motown.  Button down shirts in bold patterns and long pointed collars (think Jackson 5), vests, fringe, and  even  dresses/skirts  for the girls. We ask that no one wears shorts or short skirts.  Again, jeans and sneakers are acceptable.
