Sock Hop: A Musical Tribute to Early Rock and Roll
The Performing Arts class and the Ensemble Music class joined together again to present a concert celebrating the origins of Rock and Roll music. The performance took place at Center Stage Theater in Paseo Nuevo on Friday and Saturday January 9th and 10th. Surprisingly, the students in Performing Arts did not know many songs from this era, so our first task was to introduce them to the 1950’s. We discussed the teenagers of this era, what they wore and the music they enjoyed. The students then selected the songs that they liked and, together with the Ensemble Music class.
The performance received rave reviews in the Montecito Journal the following week!
