"This show rocked, it really did. The music just never stopped and as I sat in the back of the room watching, I was impressed with how intent these kids were on the music and the performers - they clapped, moved around on their bottoms or rocked back and forth in place. Do you know how hard it is to engage a group of Kindergarteners and first graders in one big room for more than half an hour and then do it all over again for second and third graders?"
