Disney Concert Hall Field Trip
The fourth graders’ third and final field trip to the Walt Disney Concert Hall was a resounding success! The kids joined students from across southern California for a special performance of “Peter and the Wolf,” played by LA’s premier orchestra, the LA Philharmonic. For many of the students, this was their first exposure to live orchestral music. For almost all, it was their first time seeing the concert hall, Frank Gehry’s masterpiece in downtown. There were lots of excited faces all around!
At the performance, our students had second-row seats to the right of the stage, with an amazing view into the orchestra. Their eyes were fixed on the beautiful instruments and they sat in rapped silence for the duration of the show. Kids were heard humming Prokofiev’s piece for days afterwards.
This field trip is particularly special because it is sponsored by Mr. Fontaine and the Music department and is a fourth grade tradition. We thank him for all his work in putting together a fabulous day for us all!
