North Harrison held its elementary music concert Friday, highlighted by the Three Pigs Opera performed by the kindergarten through second graders. The concert was directed by Julie Capps, who taught at Worth County for a few years.
The fourth grade played a recorder medley in order of increasing difficulty to start the performances. Millie Long did a solo ukulele performance of, “You Are my Sunshine.”
The Three Pig Opera was based on the popular children’s nursery rhyme, in which the three pigs are sent out into the world and must figure out the best way to protect themselves from the Big Bad Wolf. Merchants are selling them materials to make straw, stick, and brick houses. Which one would be safest? And what if the wolf tries alternative means of getting into the house?
The third through sixth graders finished out the evening by singing several classic rock favorites, accompanied by Alex Rowen of Sheridan, son of Clint and Denise Rowen, who is a homeschooled student. Alex has been taking guitar lessons from the same person who taught Luke Andrews.
There were many people who helped with the event behind the scenes. Mrs. Allen helped with the lights and sound. Mrs Pottorff proofread the program. Mr. Keck shared the music room. Mr. Long allowed the students to use the gym for rehearsals and the concert. Mrs. Irvin and her students made the props for the Three Piggy Opera. Calvin Crowder burned the CD’s for the concert.
Mr. Bowen helped with the logistics of the concert. Several high school students set off the cannon at the end of the concert. Tabrey Kimbrough helped with the sound system issues and donated the piano. Several of the kids brought the wagons that were used in the Three Piggy Opera.
