Music Monday

Yesterday was Music Monday.  All around the world people celebrated Music Monday in a unique way spurred on by a request from Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield.  It was an event that celebrated music and had a musical collaboration between earth and space.  Our school was involved in a number of activities.  We had some representatives from grade 5 singing at the legislature building and the jazz band played with others at Transcona Collegiate Institute.  In the afternoon the entire school celebrated Music Monday during an assembly where we sang the Music Monday theme song - "ISS - Is Somebody Singing."

Additionally there was a live webcast that our class attempted to watch starting at 11:00 a.m. where Chris Hadfield sang "ISS - Is Somebody Singing" aboard the International Space Station along with students from schools in Canada.  Unfortunately the webcast was continuously loading, so we were only able to see snippets of the actual webcast.  Afterwards, I managed to find YouTube video of Chris Hadfield singing "ISS - Is Somebody Singing" from space with the Barenaked Ladies.  Below is that video and a video of our class singing along.  Enjoy! - Miss Matsumoto
