Great NYT article on "Supersizing" HS Musicals

<p>I saw these kids perform Crazy For You at Internationals! The show was stupendous. Teachers and kids put so much time and effort into this show, their hearts and souls and blood, and it showed. Kids who never danced before were tap dancing on the rooftofs. The leads are off to CCM and Evansville. I know each of us would do anything to have our high schools do such superior quality work, but I know from my own hs who happens to have many talented kids, as we all do, the level of professionalism has to be with all: teachers, performers and parents. We have such a struggle getting parents to commit to help, and when we get parents, the teachers are not receptive, a vicious cycle. But let me tell you, these kids, this school, this director deserve every accolade they get. And, btw, this is not a performing arts hs, just your typical public school.</p>
