The eighth graders at Benson Village School perofrmed their ballad on Wednesday before a packed gym. Below is an earlier slideshow of the ballad with Pete Sutherland on voice. This was the second of our YWP Ballad Writing Residency which was underwritten by the Lake Champlain Basin Program.
The Benson performance made the Front Page of the Rutland Herald on Thursday, click here for the link.
And later on Thursday, Pete performed parts of both ballads on Vermont Public Radio's Vermont Edition. Podcast above.
Pete Sutherland and his gang of 4th, 5th and 6th graders at Swanton School presented the results of their 4-week Ballad Writing residency at the Tabor House on May 4. Many parents, kids, grandparents, community members wedged into the main room at the resort which was opened up for the occasion. Here is a slideshow and recording of the performance; the art work was done by each of the students using glass prints. Thanks to our sponsors, the Lake Champlain Basin Program Thanks to Swanton School Principal Julie Benay for spearheading this project. The song has been performed and will be performed by Pete Sutherland in many public venues this spring, summer and fall. The next show: May 16 at Burlington's Waterfront as part of the Young Traditions weekend. Click headline to read the words as you listen.
Benson Village School, meanwhile, soon will complete its ballad as part of this project and will be presenting their ballad at school on May 27.
