"They were always sleepy in the morning so I thought I would wake them up using rhythm," said Nichols School Music Teacher Corinne Demareu-Best.
Middle school students practiced for four weeks to perform their very own version of the broadway musical "STOMP."
Children used their bodies and ordinary, everyday objects to make music.
"We use garbage cans, drumsticks, washboards, hula hoops, copper poles, trash can tops and metal buckets," said sixth grader Aubrey Borgesi.
Kids worked together to help choreograph their routine, all while learning different music styles.
"It was really fun to mix opera with STOMP just to see how they relate and how opera evolved into our modern music," said sixth grader Cullen Lampasso.
"We are actually learning something. We're learning how to express ourselves in not just words, in actions," added Lampasso.
