This version of Bach’s first cello suite was recorded live in the Great Smoky Mountains. I’ve always thought of Suite No. 1 as “Nature at Play,” so it was a dream to play it with the birds, the trees, and the rushing brook. ▶️ https://t.co/AQn2pIuZQM

@christinegoko I laughed SO hard- he dressed up as Karl Lagerfeld’s cat 💀💀💀

@SchneiderBrandt So I guess the question then is the role of musicals for kids. I’ve never considered theater Ed. Philosophy specifically, but if there are solid instrumental music opportunities other places in curriculum, I’d focus on unique theater opportunities?

@SchneiderBrandt Would/does level of pit playing affect other categories to a significant degree?

[Laura Caruthers @lcaruth1]

@SchneiderBrandt I know our kids go to the Halos, but I’m not super familiar with rules/qualifications other than we don’t compete against really large districts near us and that we don’t submit/aren’t eligible for any pit-specific awards since we have pros.

[Laura Caruthers @lcaruth1]

@SchneiderBrandt Another reason is just practical- in a small school we can’t field a pit AND actors- too much overlap. Though, students can and do play in the pit when they want .

@MattwithIH @TheLancet Totally agree. In fact the MSLT doesn’t measure the excessive sleep in Idiopathic Hypersomnia at all so it’s a completely useless ‘experiment’ for patients with IH.

For decades, sleep and its associated disorders have been considered a Cinderella branch of medicine.

@JeffGreeneLearn @AmityGoss Yes! And if we consider “meeting students where they’re at” as not only including current understanding but also culture, background, identity, and personal interests, we’ll naturally be led to create learning opportunities that incorporate many different ways to show learning!

@theaskanison But were they dressed in period costumes?

@lisa_d_martin The kids have gone a little crazy decorating the room. They love hiding James in new places. Here he is with the homemade 6-foot cardboard Rock.

Imagine writing a bop that slaps so hard that, for the rest of human history, no one even TRIES to write another song about hot cross buns.
