STOMPFEST

Look out here comes STOMPFEST! Our opening major project over the last month has been to create STOMP routines. Students were asked to find an "instrument," a rhythm, some classmates and make an entertaining routine. It is so fun to watch their personalities and unique ideas be expressed! We have balloons, buckets, basketballs, homemade instruments, drumming, singing... and one week left to practice! They have come up with "band" names, have created unique routines, listened to peer feedback and are polishing their final musical revisions. Here are the details if you are interested in taking in some of the talent:

WHO? GRADES 2-6

WHAT? STOMPFEST IS AN IDEA ORIGINATING FROM THE PERFORMING GROUP CALLED STOMP. IT IS A RHYTHMIC, WITTY SHOW THAT CREATES BEAUTIFUL MUSIC OUT OF SIMPLE OBJECTS, JUNK, DRUMS OR HOMEMADE INSTRUMENTS. ANYTHING A STUDENT CREATIVELY CHOOSES TO MAKE SOUNDS AND RHYTHMS WITH!

WHEN? NOON HOURS NOV. 2-6

MONDAY - GR. 5, TUESDAY - GR. 4, WEDNESDAY - GR.3, THURSDAY - GR.2, FRIDAY - GRADE 6

WHERE? THE LEARNING COMMONS “STAGE”

WHY? TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM STOMP ROUTINES, SHOWCASING THEIR ABILITY TO READ NOTES, PERFORM PATTERNS, AND EXPLORE VARIOUS SOUNDS! IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE LUNCH ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE WILSON COMMUNITY!
