Time to get FUNKY!

Mrs. Marr, the orchestra teacher, often plays the keyboard as we get ready for class. She has played many songs, such as Fancy Fiddles, The Halo Theme song, The Family Guy Theme song, and The Simpson’s Theme song. This is part of orchestra fun.

Sometimes I imagine us all becoming famous because Mrs. Marr got her camera and took a video of us dancing and decided to post it on her myspace page. (Of course, she would never do that!) I imagine Mrs. Marr being so proud that she boasts to everyone about the wonderful dancing of her 6th grade students. That gave me the idea to make my own video.

In this video, Mrs. Marr is playing and Paul, (the kid dancing in the background), is rockin’ it out on October 9, 2008. When this video was taken, it was at the beginning of class and The Family Guy Theme song was the last song Mrs. Marr played before class began. After that song, Mrs. Marr said, “OK, I’ll play this game at the end of class if there’s time.” We replied, “Ok,” and class time officially began.

After that, the class went on as usual; we played The Lion King Song. Normally we then go into either Brandenburg, Play Ball, or, on some occasions, Fancy Fiddles. We must get to the real work of orchestra, which is still kind of fun. Still, somewhere in my mind I think of all the fun we had and the next time we get funky!

Mrs. Marr's great playing inspires us to dance, including Paul M. shown above.
