Over the Rainbow! KOTR Musical Production of The Wizard of Oz

Students and staff began organizing and rehearsing in October 2024, with the grand performances for students and families on May 14th and 15th. Students in grades 4-8 were cast, chorus, and stage crew and were responsible for all facets of the musical under the guidance of staff members Heather Ford, Mac Millen, Kirsten Baker, and Montana Tait.
 
Quotes "I can't believe this was an elementary school musical - they outdid performers twice their age!" (Parent)
"The kids deserve all the praise and cheers they got tonight! And to have the experience and chance to do this is why we do it. The kids were incredible. It was totally worth it." (Kirsten Baker)
"I was nervous but so glad I did it. I learned a lot, and it was a lot of hard work, but also totally fun! I can't wait to do a musical next year!" (Student performer)
"It's opportunities like these where kids discover that they may have interests and talents they didn't realize until now. When schools and staff give kids these opportunities, their whole world can open up in new ways. We are so grateful for KOTR!" (Parent)
 
Kudos came from all over, including OCDSB Director Pino Buffone, and Trustee and Chair of the OCDSB Board Lynn Scott!
 
What an amazing event, and we are busy already planning for next year's production!
