Memphis Musical

Rachel's 2nd grade class performed a Memphis Musical last week. The children dressed in poodle skirts and leather jackets. They sang an alphabet song about Memphis. A is for A. Schwab's, B is for Beale Street, C is for the City we all love, D is for Desoto, E is for Elvis, F is for Field trips so fun, G is for Grizzlies, H is for our History, I is for Issac Hayes, etc..... They also sang different songs like "You ain't nothing but a Hound Dog", "Walking in Memphis", "Leaving on a jet plane" and "Old Man River". It was very cute!! Here are some pictures from the show. Grandma made Rachel's poodle skirt. The program was on a Thursday and grandma showed up with the skirt on Wednesday at 3pm. The skirt did not fit and she had to tear out the entire waist and put in an elastic waist. It was a mess. We were in panic mode that night but luckily by bedtime she had it sewn back together and Rachel was posing for us with her new skirt and converse sneakers. Notice the Orange earrings she is wearing. The poodle is red, the leash is red, the scarf is red but SHE had to choose Orange earrings. HA HA!!!
