LET US PRACTICE ANOTHER 

SOLDIER CADENCE

DO YOU REMEMBER THE

"MY FAVORITE THINGS" AND THE "DO RE MI" SONGS

FROM THE MOVIE "THE SOUND OF MUSIC"?

THE FOLLOWING VIDEO IS OF CHILDREN

BEING INTRODUCED LIKE LITTLE SOLDIERS.

I THINK IT WOULD BE FUN NOW TO PRACTICE

BEING YANKEE DOODLE SOLDIERS

WITH ME 

WHEN I HAD DARK HAIR

SIT UP STRAIGHT 

AND GET READY TO PLAY A DRUM

TIME TO TRY MARCHING WITH THE ANTS

The following video is of a...

11 year old girl and a 14 year old boy

dancing a Contemporary Dance

about a  SOLDIER going to war

and needing to leave his sister behind.

His sister didn't want him to go, 

and it was real hard for the boy

to leave her.

KEEP IN MIND THAT AS YOU WATCH,

YOU ARE WATCHING THE STORY 

COME ALIVE THROUGH THE

POWER OF DANCING WITH MUSIC.

LISTEN TO THE WORDS BEING SAID

IN THE SONG

AS THEY DANCE

May we appreciate the sacrifice

our soldiers make to protect our Country

and the FREEDOM

We have been blessed with.

ENTHUSIASTIC ACTIVITY

HAMBONE is also called PATTIN' JUBA 

A JUBA was originally a circle of men 

going counter-clockwise 

around two men in the center 

who performed different steps. 

The guys in the circle would do the HAMBONE, 

slapping various body parts to make a rhythm.

THE FOLLOWING VIDEO IS THE FUNNY VERSION OF THE SONG I LIKE TO TEACH. LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN KEEP UP. WE WILL DO THE ORIGINAL POPULAR VERSION ANOTHER TIME.

LOTS OF DIFFERENT VERSION OF THE LYRICS

FLOATING AROUND.
