For nearly five months, Oak Ridge and Glen Oaks students have been working on their skills to give multiple performances of the musical Lion King Kids. From tryouts to early morning practices, after school rehearsals to tons of behind the scenes work, these students and staff have worked tirelessly to give their best and blow audiences away. May 19 and 20 were the culmination of many months of hard work as the students performed the musical for multiple audiences. On the morning of Tuesday, May 19, Glen Oaks fourth and fifth graders took buses to Oak Ridge so they could see the inaugural performance alongside Oak Ridge fourth and fifth graders. In the afternoon, they put on a second performance for Oak Ridge and Glen Oaks second and third graders. As their final performance, the cast performed for the families, friends, and community on the evening of May 20. Each audience was impressed with the costumes, lights, audio, props, and sets in addition to the extraordinary performances the students gave. We are so proud of everyone who participated in the musical in order to make it such a great success. Special thanks goes to Mrs. Kowal-Swiech, Mr. Gesiakowski, Mrs. Kelly, and Mrs. Garus from Oak Ridge for their hard work and dedication in creating such a successful musical. Additionally, thanks goes to Ms. Baroudos, Ms. Kust, and Ms. Guest from Glen Oaks and Mr. Zinke from Sorrick and Dorn who also helped coordinate the musical. Please enjoy the photos of the performances!
