[@LoreleiMission]

Wild when things go wrong but the performers can handle it! My sister was in a fast-moving multi-song routine where the chorus lineup started in high heels and then would switch to tap shoes for the next part. She had a costume problem and couldn't change the shoes in time so she ran out there for the next segment and faked tap-dancing in 5-inch heels through a whole song

[@onemercilessming1342]

Very clever and rather well-done. However, two questions arise: 1. How did they manage to find the money for this production? Most schools can't provide funds for the art department/arts department to produce anything like this. 2. Where did they find the time to practice and keep up with their studies?

[@ThePacWaldenGrove]

Hi! Great questions! 1. We do not get any money from the school or district! We have to raise everything ourselves. The kids do HOURS of fundraising outside of school to be able to have costumes and props. We do a lot of it over the summer and some throughout the school year. The prop in this dance is made out of cardboard boxes. It is beautiful from far away, but up close it is two seconds from falling a part! We are really scrappy when we come to making things look good for cheap. A lot of things are borrowed or from the Dollar Tree. It is definitely one of the most challenging parts of the job- building a program with no money! 2. Dance is a Fine Arts credit at our school. So they kids take it as a class during the day as a credit (elective). They practice everyday in class and then on Saturdays as well. They are able to fit it in this way, and keep their expected GPA of 3.0 which is required to be able to perform on the team. Great questions! Thank you!

[@medmen6327]

Amazing young adults. Your school, city and state should be so proud. Who choreographs this?

[@TrueChristina]

Amazing!

[@onemercilessming1342]

ThePac Walden Grove--Thank you for your gracious, comprehensive, and courteous reply. In my high school days (more decades ago than I'd like to admit), these were called extra-curricular activities. There was no credit for them and one's grades had to be kept up or you were dropped from the rosters of the activities until the next report card reporting period--provided you got your grades up. Parent support groups and the participants raised as much money as they could with sales and annual carnivals and other special events. There was NEVER any money in the district's budget for art or music and the only dance we got was what our gym teachers (not P. E. teachers back then) could provide for us. Even the sports teams--who got the lion's share of extra-curricular funding--still needed support from their parent group fundraisers. I myself taught for longer than I cared to admit and whatever art we did was paid for out of my salary. Bravo to your school for a creative and delightful interpretation of L. Frank Baum's story.

[@jeepsdude]

I'm a 57-year-old male who appreciates that there are fans for all areas of music, and that we aren't all going to agree. Some people have no use for hip-hop. I don't agree. It's the music a great majority of young people appreciate. I'm not a fan of industrial metal, but others are. So, who am I to criticize varying tastes in music. It adds diversity to the spectrum. The music selections were perfectly suited to engage the energy of the students at the assembly. Job well done. And for those folks who don't like hip-hop, ask high school history teachers throughout this country how the Broadway musical, "Hamilton," has engaged students in learning and what dividends have been realized. Kudos. Being privileged to work within my city's large local theater community and seeing the wide array of talent that plays out in musicals, comedies, dramas and tragedies on both high school, college and community stages throughout the year-and knowing how much work goes into a six-week rehearsal schedule for a show that will run four weeks-my hat is off to the coach and these talented students who pulled this off with a two-and-a-half-week turnaround from conception to execution. I know how many hours went into those 17 days because my friends are dance teachers and choreographers. Again, kudos. For the haters and those who have left negative comments, think about what you are saying. Seriously. These students need to be encouraged. This is a good thing. This is something that will stay with them long after they graduate and may even play into the next part of their journey after high school academically or professionally. By the counter above on November 27, this video has received 2.5-plus million views, so it obviously is making an impact. (To the coach / choreographer: You are nurturing amazing talent. I like the way you took the criticism below with a gladsome heart. Now, a question: is there any way to list all the music that was used? I've seen several comments asking for this.)
