Grandma's Feather Bed

Group 1:   Sing the PLINKA....PLINKA ...PLINK at the beginning of the song Group 2:  Sing the words at the beginning of the song Lyrics: When I was a little bitty child, just up off the floor We used to go down to grandma's house every month end or so We'd have chicken pie, and country ham and homemade butter on the bread But the best darn thing about grandma's house Was the great big feather bed It was nine feet tall and six feet wide soft as a downy chick It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs And a piggy we stole from the shed Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On grandma's feather bed After supper we sit around the fire, the old folks spit and chew. Ew! Pa would talk about the farm and the war And granny'd sing a ballad or two I'd sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head Next thing I'

Group 1 I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath scared to rock the boat and make a mess so I sat quietly, agreed politely I guess that I forgot I had a choice I let you push me pass the breaking point I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything You held me down but I got up.  Hey! Already brushing off the dust You hear my voice, you hear that sound like thunder gonna shake the ground You held me down, but I got up. Hey! Get ready cause I've had enough I see it all, I see it now I've got the eye of the tiger a fighter, dancin' through the fire cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar louder, louder than a lion. Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Now I'm floatin' like butterfly Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes I went from zero to my own hero You held me down but I got up. Hey! Already brushing off the dust You hear my voice, you hear that sound like thunder go

Lyrics I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing where have you gone?

Group 2 Group 2.. Please listen 3 times, then sing along as many times as you want! Lyrics are below the video I am not a stranger to the dark. Hide away they say cause we don't want your broken parts I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars. Runaway they say, no one will love you as you are But, I won't let them break me down to dust. I know that there's a place for us.  Glorious. Even when the dark comes crashin' through, When you need a friend to carry you. When your broken on the ground. You will be found So let the sun come streamin' in. Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again. Lift your head and look around. You will be found You will be found You will be found Theres a place where we don't have to feel unknown And every time that you call out, your a little less alone. If you only say the word from across the silence your voice is heard Oh, someone will come runnin'. We are warriors. Yeah that's what

The lyrics are below the video I am not a stranger to the dark Hide Away they say 'cause we don't want your broken parts I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars Runaway they say  no one will love you as you are But, I won't let them brake me down to dust I know that there's a place for us.

Drums Auditions

Dear Students, Thank you for coming to drum tryouts and being willing to stay after school.  I really wish I could have everyone play a drum in our concert, but with limited drums we can only pick so many.  You all did a great job listening and focusing in on the drum instruction.  Please click on read more to see the rest of the post. If you don't make drums this spring concert then I hope you will try again next year.  Also, if you are not on drums then you will playing the rainsticks or shakers, which are super fun to do too. If you made drums please remember that it is very important that you come to rehearsals.  If you miss too many rehearsals then your drum spot will be given to someone else.  I will let you know when rehearsals are every week.  Most of the rehearsals will be during lunch recess. If by some chance you came to tryouts and do not see your name on this list, then please let me know.  You will be playing either a shaker, or rainstick. Mrs. Toole Waka
