Spanish in the Americas
Join us as we celebrate the second of a three-year cultural curriculum focus on Spanish in the Americas. In our exploration of these themes, we will engage with repertoire with texts and/or music by Latin American writers/composers. Throughout the season, we will provide opportunities for boys to compare and contrast the celebrations and traditions we learn about with those of their own families. Additionally, boys will explore similarities and differences among Latin American cultures, highlighting the great diversity within the Latin American cultural label.
Join the Parranda: Holiday Showcase
La parranda is a Puerto Rican Christmas holiday tradition. Usually after 10pm, a neighborhood surprises a household by singing and playing instruments. A party, replete with good food, constant music making, dancing, and bombas, lasts for a couple of hours until the recently surprised household joins the parranderos as they move on to the next house. Our celebration will start and end well before 10pm, but we hope to capture the festive spirit of community of the parranda.
