Gr. 4-5: Experienced-Advanced         Duration: ca. 6:50

Leaving home is a big moment in everyone's life. It's a time of change, growth, and new experiences. It can be exciting, scary, and everything in between. Home explores the excitement and anticipation of leaving home for the first time. 

"My House" by Flo Rida and "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are songs about being proud of where you come from and the importance of home.  It's a great way to transition into the next section featuring "Shortcut Home" by Dana Wilson, a fun and upbeat song about finding your way.

"Down a Country Lane" by Aaron Copland is a more subdued and reflective piece. The music is slow and lyrical, and the visuals reflect the beauty of missing home.

The final movement is a celebration of returning home and features "Take Me Home" by Phil Collins and "Home Sweet Home" by Mötley Crüe. A short reprise of "Shortcut Home" & "My House" end the show leaving the audience feeling hopeful and optimistic.
