Update: Parade!!!!

Hello everyone!

Here is some very important information enclosed :) (Videos are at the bottom)

First, t-shirts. These will be handed out in class on Wednesday (TODAY). We are very excited about our t-shirts this year. They've been designed by a close friend of Jessica's to go with our theme for the summer: Seize the Day! We're ordering from a new company so hopefully everything works out. Please have your children wear their shirt to the parade. NO FLIP FLOPS. We want to avoid any crunched toes. 

On to the parade. The parade starts at 10. However, we are 69th out of 78th, so we are pretty far toward the end. Please drop your children off at 9:45 at 10th and Illinois (map attached). We will have teachers their ready to escort children to the float. You are welcome to come back, as well, but the road is closed to cars. While we wait for our turn to be in the parade, we will be taking group and individual pictures. 

We will have two trucks (as far as we know). Starlets will be on the first truck, and the rest of the students will be on the hay. We are still looking for a generator--if anyone has one, please let us know asap if we can use it. 

Bring water! Preferably plastic water bottles so no nice water bottles get lost. Apply your children with sunscreen beforehand! We will be in the sun for a few hours and it will be HOT. If you can, bring a blanket. Not everyone needs one, but we do need a few to put on the hay to make the ride more comfortable. As far as allergies go, we will be on the hay and there will be balloons decorating the float, so let us know if that is going to be a problem. 

At the end of the parade, we will drive a few blocks (about 4) to a parking lot where you can pick your children up. 

Leslie and Becca will have their phones with them at all times. Leslie:             720-341-8905       and Becca:             720-394-6624      

Lastly, we are looking for parent volunteers. We need help blowing up balloons before the parade. We also need a parent volunteer from the Starlets class to help with the kids backstage. You will need to help keep them entertained when they are not on stage (we will have activities ready to go), which means you will be able to see them perform, but not the rest of the show. For that reason, parents with starlets and children in other classes should probably not volunteer, so they can see their other kiddos perform as well :) 

Attached are maps for drop off, pick up, parade route and the streets that will be closed.

PLEASE encourage your kids to practice with their word sheets (attached) and the videos on youtube (search with the group name and the name of the song). Leslie, Jessica, and Becca will be there helping the kids with the choreography, but we would love for them to have the general idea and we definitely need them to know their words. It's very simple so a couple practice rounds will help. 

Thank you for cooperating with us! And thank you for allowing your kids to be a part of our program!

Boys – Secret Agent Man

Your never fully dressed without a smile!

Hey, hobo man
Hey, Dapper Dan
You've both got your style
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Your clothes may be Beau Brummelly
They stand out a mile --
But Brother,
You're never fully dressed
Without a smile!

Who cares what they're wearing
From Main Street,
to Saville Row,
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe
(That matters)

So, Senator,
So, Janitor,
So long for a while
Remember,
You're never fully dressed

Though you may wear your best
You're never fully dressed

Without a

Smile

Smile

Smile

Smile darn ya smile.

Be Optimistic

Be optimistic!
Don't you be a grumpy
When the road gets bumpy
Just smile
(Smile and be happy!)

Your troubles can't be
As bad as all that
When you're sad as all that
No one loves you

Be optimistic!
Don't you be a mourner
Brighten up that corner
And smile

Don't wear a long face
It's never in style
Be optimistic
And smile!

You’ve Got a Friend in Me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
Just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you

And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see
It's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
My dad said "Be an actor, my son
But be a comical one
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"

Now you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite
And you can charm the critics and have nothin' to eat
Just slip on a banana peel
The world's at your feet
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh
My grandpa said go out and tell 'em a joke
But give it plenty of hoke

Make 'em roar
Make 'em scream
Take a fall
But a wall
Split a seam

You start off by pretending
You're a dancer with grace
You wiggle 'till they're
Giggling all over the place
And then you get a great big custard pie in the face
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh

Ah ha ha ha ha ha há
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!
Make 'em laugh, ah ah!

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh!

How Lucky You Are

When the news is all bad,
When you're sour and blue,
When you start to get mad
You should do what I do-

Aaah!

Tell yourself
How lucky you are...

When your life's going wrong
When the fates are unkind
When you're limping along
And get kicked from behind
Tell yourself how lucky you are...

Aaah!

Why decry a cloudy sky
An empty purse
A crazy universe?
My philosophy is simply
Things could be worse!

So be happy you're here.
Think of life as a thrill

And if worse comes to worse
(As we all know it will)
Thank your lucky star
You've gotten this far...

And tell yourself

How lucky you are!

How lucky
How lucky, how lucky you are!

Who Better than Me

You're one of a kind, I can't explain it.
You're kind of cool, in a wonderful way.
Though you're weird, you can make it.
And who better than me to teach you.
Who better then me to set you on your way.

This could take some hangin' in there
Though with persuasion I can take you on up
Make you grow up, beside the others
And who better than me to lead you
Who better than me to take you all the way


Struggling along for years and years
Until I came along for you
Now its all comin' together

And together will see this through
You for me and me for you


I can learn, I can listen
I know there's something
Deep inside but
I need assistance to go the distance


And who better than me
To teach me
Who better than me
To tell me all you know
Who better than me
You reach me
Who better than me
To show them all we know

We're all in this together

Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together, together come on lets do this right


Here and now it's time for celebration
To finally figure it out
That all our dreams have no limitations
That's what it's all about


Everyone is special in their own way
We make each other strong
Were not the same
Were different in a good way
Together's where we belong


We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are
We're all stars
And we see that
We're all in this together
And it shows
When we stand
Hand in hand
Make our dreams come true

Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together together come on lets do this right
We're all here
And speaking out in one voice
Were going to rock the house
The party's on now everybody make some noise
Come on scream and shout
[ Lyrics
We've arrived because we stuck together
Champions one and all

We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are
We're all stars
And we see that
We're all in this together
And it shows
When we stand
Hand in hand
Make our dreams come

We're all in this together
When we reach
We can fly
Know inside
We can make it
We're all in this together
Once we see
There’s a chance
That we have
And we take it

Wild cats everywhere
Wave your hands up in the air
That's the way we do it
Let's get to it
Come on everyone

  

Turn Up The Music

Na na na na na, na na
Take a look around
Who would have thought we'd all be here?
So let's mess around
Cause the future is unclear
We got nothing better to do
We're just trying to get through
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Yeah

Let the music groove you
Let the melody move you
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
When we're stuck and can't get free
No matter what, we'll still be singing
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
Yeah

All we have is now
Let's make the most of this
Come on break it out
So everyone can hear it
They don't have to understand
But we'll make them if we can
Do you hear me?
Are you with me?

Let the music groove you
Let the melody move you
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
When we're stuck and can't get free
No matter what, we'll still be singing

Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
Yeah

Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Come on, come on
Turn up the music

Let the music groove you
Let the melody move you
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
When we're stuck and can't get free
No matter what, we'll still be singing

Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul

Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
Come on, come on

Turn up the music

Why Should I Worry

One minute I'm in Central Park
Then I'm down on Delancey Street
From the Bow'ry to St Marks
There's a syncopated beat

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetwise
I can improvise
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetsmart
I've got New York City heart

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire

The rhythm of the city
But once you get it down
Then you can own this town
You can wear the crown

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire

Ev'rything goes
Ev'rything fits
They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz

Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
And even when I cross that line
I got street savoire faire

I’ve got the Music in Me

Ain't got no trouble in my life
No foolish dream to make me cry
I'm never frightened or worried
I know I'll always get by
I heat up, I cool down
When something gets in my way I go around it
Don't let life get me down
Gonna take it the way that I found it
[I got the music in me] (3 times)
[I got the music in me] (3 times)
They say that life is a circle
But that ain't the way that I found it
I'm Gonna move in a straight line
Keeping my feet firmly on the ground
I heat up, I cool down
I got words in my head so I say them
Don't let life get me down
Catch a hold of my blues and just play them
[I got the music in me] (3 times)
[I got the music in me] (3 times)
Feel funky, feel good
Gonna tell you, I'm in the neighborhood
Gonna fly like a bird on a wing
Hold on to your hat honey, sing, sing, sing

[I got the music in me] (3 times)
[I got the music in me] (3 times)

I got the music me
Heat up, cool down
I got words in my head so I say them
Don't let life get me down
Catch a hold of my blues and just play them
[I got the music in me] (3 times)
[I got the music in me] (3 times)

My New Philosophy

Why are you telling me?"

My new philosophy

The teacher gave a D on last week's homework!

She said, "Miss Sally Brown, Your grades are going down"

I could have told her...
Schroeder: Your new philosophy?
Sally: My new philosophy.

(spoken) Ms. B? I'm she. Look see A D?

A D. Well, why are you telling me?

(sung) And that's my new philosophy!
Schroeder: That's your new philosophy?
Sally: " Well why are you telling me?"

My new philosophy!
Schroeder: (spoken) That's great, Sally.

But I've got to practice Chopin's Nocturne in B-flat Minor.
Sally: (spoken) No! I like it! "No!" That's my new philosophy. " No! No! No!"
Schroeder: (spoken) That's your new philosophy?
Sally: (spoken) Yes! I mean "No!"

(singing) Just like a busy bee

Each new philosophy

Can fly from tree to tree and keep me moving!

When life's a dizzy maze

On alternating days I choose a different phrase!
Schroeder: Your new philosophy?
Sally: My new philosophy!
Schroeder: Sally, Some philosophies are simple:

"Man does not eat by bread alone."

Some philosophies are clear...
Sally: " Leave your message at the sound of the tone."
Both: Some philosophies pick and choose Deciding what goes in it
Schroeder: Some take a lifetime!
Sally: Mine take a minute!
Schroeder: (spoken) But Sally, anything that takes only a minute can't be very long lasting. For instance, Beethoven took over two years to complete his brilliant Ninth Symphony...
Sally: (spoken)" No!"
Schroeder: (spoken)I can't stand it!
Sally: (spoken) " I can't stand it!" I like it!

(sings) It's like a gurantee

Each new philosophy

And things are sure to be a whole lot brighter!

" Oh yeah? That's what you think!" " Why are you telling me?"

" No!" " I can't stand it!"

Now life is free and easy

Much more philosophy-zy,

With my brand new...
(spoken)You know, someone had said that we should live every day as if it were the last day of our life.
Sally: (spoken) Clearly, some philosophies aren't for all people...

(sung) And that's my new philosophy!

GET ON YOUR FEET

You say I know it's a waste of time
There's no use trying
So scared that life's gonna pass you by
Your spirit dying
Not long ago
I could feel your strength and your devotion
What was so clear, is now overcast
With mixed emotions
Deep in your heart is the answer
Find it, I know it will pull you through

Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action

I think it's true that we've all been through
Some nasty weather
Let's understand that we're here
To handle things together
You gotta keep looking onto tomorrow
There's so much in life
That's meant for you

Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action
Get on your feet
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder
Get up and make it happen
Stand up, stand up, stand up and take some action
Gotta get on your feet, yeah, yeah
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet

A Star is born
Gonna shout it from the mountaintops
A star is born
It's a time for pulling out the stops
A star is born
Honey, hit us with a halleluia
The kid came shining through
Girl, sing the song
Come blow your horn
A star is born

He's a hero who can please the crowd
A star is born
Come on ev'rybody shout out loud
A star is born
Just remember in the darkest hour
Within your heart's the power
For making you
A hero too
So don't lose hope when you're forlorn
Just keep your eyes upon the skies
Ev'ry night a star is
Right in sight a star is
Burning bringt a star is born

Like a beacon in the cold dark night
A star is born
Told ya ev'rything would turn out right
A star is born
Just when ev'rything was all at sea
The boy made history
The bottom line
He sure can shine
His rising sign is
Capricorn
He knew "how to"
He had a clue
Telling you a star is born

Here's a hero who can please the crowd
A star is born
Come on ev'rybody shout out loud
A star is born
Just remember in the darkest hour
Within your heart's the power
For making you
A hero too
So don't lose hope when you're forlorn
Just keep your eyes upon the skies
Ev'ry night a star is
Right in sight a star is
Burning bright a star is born

Somedays you Gotta Dance

It was about five till five on Friday
We were all getting ready to go
And the boss man started screaming
And his veins began to show

He said you and you come with me
'Cause you're gonna have to stay
My heart was thumping, I was jumping
I had to get away

Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

Well, I was talking with my baby
Over a small glass of tea
He asked the loaded question
He said how do you feel about me

My mind was racin', I was pacin'
But the word just wouldn't come
And there was only one thing
Left to do I feel it comin' on

Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feeling just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance

You gotta loosen up those chains and dance
Come on and loosen up those chains and dance

Seize the Day

Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
Arise and seize the day

Now is the time to seize the day
Send out the call and join the fray
Wrongs will be righted
If we're united
Let us seize the day

Friends of the friendless, seize the day
Raise up the torch and light the way
Proud and defiant
We'll slay the giant
Let us seize the day

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one

Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one

SECRET AGENT MAN

There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

Secret agent man
