Friday Fun May 20

The School of Rock is a new musical based on the film of the same name.  It is nominated for 4 Tony Awards this year:  Best New Musical;  Best Performance by a Lead Actor - Alex Brightman; Best Book of a Musical; and Best Original Score.  Oh yeah - the music is by Andrew Lloyd Webber returning to his rock roots!

In this promotional video, the cast sings "You're in the Band".  What makes this video fun is not just how catchy the song is.  What makes this video fun is that it is a 360 degree video.  Use your cursor on the on screen arrow keys in the upper left corner or just in the frame and you can see all around the classroom, the floor and the ceiling.  There are several "jokes" on the blackboards and other places in the room.  (Hint:  look at the ceiling to see how you too can be in the band)

One other interesting thing about this show:  the rights are currently available to high schools!
