Van Schaick Tiger Pride video lights up website
Mar. 2011 - Question: what do pop music's
one-hit-wonders, Milli Vanilli, and the students of Van Schaick Grade
School have in common? Answer: they are experts at lip synching.
On March 4, 2011, the students of Van Schaick Grade School celebrated the end of the 2nd trimester with their Tiger Pride Party. Students that had not received any disciplinary referrals were invited to participate in a "lip dub" to the song “Firework” by Katy Perry. A lip dub combines lip synching and audio dubbing to make a music video.
During filming, students dressed in blue and gold and used props to enhance the music video. Later that day, students were invited to the gym for the premiere of Van Schaick Grade School’s very first music video. Refreshments were served as students and staff enjoyed the debut.
Fourth grade students Maggie and Brendan Roby
joined Principal Jacqueline DeChiaro in presenting the video to the
community at a
meeting of the Cohoes Board of Education on March 16.
