EMES Spring Concert 2016


It was such a joy to watch these kids sing songs of the four seasons at Sophie's spring concert on Friday evening! You can find Sophie on the far right, second from the top row.

The fun began with a crew of fifth graders who sang as the Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons:



As the students sang their way through each of the four seasons, these crazy kids would keep running out with their blow up guitars every time they heard the words "four seasons." What fun!


As a 4th grade contribution, Sophie and her class acted out "Case at the Bat." Sophie is the catcher. (Papa, she's wearing a NY Yankees cap!) Following this act, the students and the audience sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."


Unfortunately, I didn't get a video of the funniest song about a sow in the spring. The entire concert was fun and enjoyable, and I'm grateful for Sophie's wonderful teacher who makes music and singing fun.
