After our Kindergarten-Fourth Graders put endless and amazing hard work into the play, it seemed important to give them a chance to reflect on their experiences. Here are some of the 1st-4th grade answers.
During music class they individually entered the Recording Studio, complete with puppets, string lights, Mama Bayou and Ms. Kauffeld’s laptop, and recorded themselves!
Here is what they had to say:
Thanks for watching! Have thoughts about the play?
Send us a video response!
Hi Folsom Folks!
Thanks to our MAGNIFICENT librarian and tech-aficionado, “Down By the Bayou,” is up in full on YouTube!
Please watch it, and share this link with ALL your family and friends who couldn’t make it to the show.
I want to again extend my most sincere thank yous to ALL that made this show possible… it really was a community effort. It takes a village.
Also: Please Please Please send Ms. Kauffeld ANY pictures you took at the play!

THANK YOU!!!
A peek at some of the amazing folks who came to help!
Be sure to watch until the end for some fancy limbo action!
On Sunday we had the Kindergarten-Fourth graders come to run through THE ENTIRE SHOW!
Here’s a clip from the parade scene, imagine we’re holding puppets and boogeying!

The ladies of the Voodoo Troupe practice their big number!!
An after school rehearsal of Scene 3: Flo meets Frogs, Fiona, and the Frog Hunters!
Check out our Second Graders’ FIRST rehearsal!! What a great job they are doing!
I recorded the songs using soundcloud.com, which is a very cool website to share your recordings! Check it out!
Something’s being a little funky with sharing from the soundcloud website- I’m hoping this will work.
“Gonna Take You Down” has yet to be recorded-stay tuned.
Thank you for your amazing support or the cast- they are working SO hard!!
Maddy, Charlotte, and Katie rehearse “Gonna Take You Down,” from “Princess and the Frog” for our play!
Happy February!
The curtain will open on our Kindergarten through Fourth grade play in a MONTH AND 13 DAYS!! Wahoo!
This means it is DEFINITELY time to be memorizing lines! The best way to learn lines is to read the scene with a family member! Remember that not only do you need to know WHAT to say, but WHEN to say it! (That’s called your “cue” line!)
Another great way to practice your lines is by following your blocking while you say them. Set up your bedroom as if it’s the stage, and move around on it like you were doing the real scene!
All of the cast members have been doing extraordinary work on our play- even on the Ski Day where we had less than half of our 1-4 students in school, we were able to use the time productively.
Lyrics for the four songs that the ENTIRE CAST will be singing are posted in a previous blog post- stay tuned for recordings that will be posted online!!
Thank you for all of your support, here’s another sneak peak into the work we did over the past two days!
