Dye’s Showcase Concert 2015
On Thursday, April 23rd, about 60 of the third, fourth and fifth grade musicians at Dye Elementary performed in the 2015 Showcase Concert. The concert began with all of the students singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “Charge On, Cavaliers.” Then the third graders took the stage, each of them taking turns singing duets for the verses of the traditional folk and popular songs they sang. After that, the fourth graders were featured playing their recorders. Next, the fifth graders performed a variety of songs, several of which included percussion accompaniments. For the finale, all of the students returned to the stage and sang two closing songs together. The concert was well received by a supportive and gracious audience. The musicians celebrated with a Tootsie Pop treat after the show.

Three Little Pigs Came to Rankin
In March, students at Rankin Elementary were fortunate to be part of collaboration with the University of Michigan-Flint’s Opera Workshop. On March 11, several UM-F students, who are studying music education, came to teach lessons about opera in Mrs. Hall’s music class. Then, on March 13, those classes and several others were invited to watch the Opera Workshop performance of The Three Little Pigs. It was fantastic and had students on the edge of their seats. UM-Flint students mixed the theatrical tale, with operatic arias from Mozart. Dr. Josua May directed the show and Frank Pitts, a UM-Flint lecturer in music, played the piano accompaniment for this production. The one act opera, arranged by John Davies, touched on topics such as bullying and literacy.
The production is part of an ongoing UM-Flint opera outreach series. It includes nine performances at area schools and venues for K-5 students, with the final show May 1 at the Flint Public Library.
