District’s String Musicians Rock Out

West Babylon School District’s orchestra students had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play alongside a famous musician, thanks to an artist-in-residence program with Mark Wood, one of the founding members of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Mr. Wood visited with the student-musicians in grade 5-12 from throughout the West Babylon School District on March 14 and 15. Mr. Wood, a native Long Islander, worked with students for two days on a variety of rock songs from the ‘80s and ‘90s, including artists like AC/DC, Coldplay and Bon Jovi. As part of the Evolution Tour and the “Electrify Your Symphony” concert, Mr. Wood played in concert alongside the 220 West Babylon student-musicians during a show at the West Babylon Junior High School on March 15.

The fourth graders each choose an important figure during that time period to research. The students used their computers and library books to conduct their research and compile their informational books, which they shared with classmates upon completion.

In recognition of Global Day of Play, South Bay Elementary School created a cardboard arcade on Feb. 7. Inspired by the true story of Caine’s Arcade, enrichment students in grades three, four and five created their own arcade games made of upcycled materials. The cardboard arcade was set up in the school’s cafeteria. Classes came down to visit and each student received a fun pass to play each game one time. The arcade was filled with everything one would expect including skeeball, basketball free throws, a crane machine, air hockey and a ring toss.
