Happy Memorial Day Week!
Let’s take a look at some rhythms again. This use the dotted quarter and eighth combo we’ve been working on:
Next, let’s learn to sign and sing The Star Spangled Banner. It’s the national anthem of our country, which means it’s the official song:
Lastly, this week would have been the Gettysburg/Philadelphia Trip. Here is a parody of Cheap Thrills all about the Civil War!
Lastly, here is a Civil War song you may recognize. Words are included so you can sing along:
When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We’ll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out
And we’ll all feel glad
When Johnny comes marching home.
The old church bell will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,
And we’ll all feel glad
When Johnny comes marching home.
Get ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We’ll give the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now
To place upon his loyal brow
And we’ll all feel glad
When Johnny comes marching home.
Let love and friendship on that day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warrior’s heart,
And we’ll all feel glad
When Johnny comes marching home.
