Music History Note:
This year, the whole group is invited to join the Blue-Footed Boobies band in performing Sweet Home Chicago by The Blues Brothers Band. While this movie was rated R in 1980 for some foul language, I am recommending you consider watching the original movie with your child(ren) for appreciation of a contemporary music icon.
(students can practice along)
In their time, the main stars of the Blues Brothers Band were criticized by some as appropriation of culture, but their popularity and musicianship have shown over time that they have given nothing but reverence to blues culture. They filled in a musical void at a very critical time. The explosions and chase scenes are sure to entertain the whole family for all 2 hours and 27 minutes.
Your challenge if you choose to accept it is to notice when the song Sweet Home Chicago is being played by the band AND listen for the super high note at the end.
