SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAMS
Saturday, Feb 6, "high noon"
|
 |
Our teams had fun and played great in their recent games against other local elementary schools!
Two weeks ago, our girls team had fun winning their first two games, and just came up short by 2 points in the tourny's championship game.
This past Saturday, a strong Tiger crowd cheered on our boys team, who won all 3 games, winning the tournament crown!
The boys will play in another tournament
on February 20.
***If you are free, make sure to come to the games. These boys are really amazing. Even the referees were in awe. (In the final game, they beat a very good team 67-4!). As the tournaments progress, the competition will get even more exciting! It's a great community event.
Come out and cheer on your schoolmates!
Go Tigers!!!

SOES MUSIC APPRECIATION DAY & CONCERT
Friday, January 29th (during school hours)
Sherman Oaks was ROCKING Friday!
The auditorium hosted 5 amazing professional musicians, educating our students about their instruments, their careers, and their own
personal journeys with music, starting at 5-10 years old, just like the students!
Each musician taught about and demonstrated their instrument: Davey Jonstone (Elton John's musical director and lead guitarist) electrified the crowd with his electric guitar and mandolin; Martin Tillman (composer and world renowned cellist, heard in the Transformers, Batman, Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and many more) wowed the crowd with unbelievable sounds from under the sea (dolphins, whales, and water) and some tunes from the Pirates movies that all the kids went crazy over; Denny Seiwell (drummer for Paul McCartney and Wings, Billy Joel, James Brown, and more) got the place thumping displaying the different percussions, rhythms, and combinations using a drum set; Jesse Jonstone (session musician on piano and various guitars) displayed the bass guitar and how it is different from lead guitar; and The Man, Adam Chester (pianist for Elton John's band, composer for film, T.V., and radio, and SOES father extraordinaire) dazzled the kids with his keyboard, showing the range of sounds and replicated instruments possible on a keyboard.
The musicians' tales from their young experiences with music, and how "practicing" quickly transitioned into a passion for "playing", inspired young audience members with what can be accomplished when one follows his/her passions.
The children transitioned from being mesmerized to rocking out in their seats to cheering at top lung for the stars on stage, and teachers were dancing in the aisles while the musicians and the student choir brought down the house with We Will Rock You/I Love Rock-n-Roll, Yellow Submarine, Crocodile Rock, and Roll Over Beethoven!
We can't thank Davey, Martin, Denny, Jesse, and Adam enough -- the best assembly ever!
For any communication regarding this amazing event, please contact Maria and Adam Chester at m13chester@gmail.com. |
