Forestville's KYDZ Radio Show

            On Thursday, May 4th, 2017 the Forestville Road Music Department hosted its first KYDZ radio show as the 2017 spring musical production.  Students in our 4th and 5th grade chorus performed popular songs from the radio.  Some of the songs performed at the spring concert were "Best Day of My Life" by the American Authors, "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten, "Roar" by Katy Perry, "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars, and "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift.  Our 4th and 5th grade percussion ensemble also performed bucket accompaniments to popular songs like Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama". 
           The production included performances by the FRES dance troupe, the Knightdale High School percussion ensemble, and our 4th grade recorder ensemble.  We would like to give a special thanks to Ms. Lyn Riggs for making the KYDZ background for our stage (pictured above), the 4th grade team for supervising students in their rooms on the night of the concert, our custodial staff for setting up equipment for the show, the FRES stage crew, the PTA for selling food at the school's concession stand to provide our guest will refreshments during the show, and the parents and teachers who attended the show.  We would also like to thank every student who participated in the show to make it a success.  We are looking forward to putting on a great show in the fall!
