Carlmont High School

Hey MIMU,

Have you heard of this school called Carlmont High? A friend of mine said something about their Heritage Fair, but I can't find anything online.

Thanks!

Crazy for Carlmont

Great question, Crazy. Yes, Matilda did a little bit more digging into Carlmont High and here's what she came up with. Check it out!

Carlmont High School Heritage Fair 2014 Video

      A second video I found on youtube when I was searching for examples to use in my slide presentation, I came across a 21 minute video that was too long to include in the slide presentation. However, it is a unique example of presenting a heritage fair celebrating the cultural diversity of a school through the media of dance, and music.

       When I first started to view the video, I thought that I had perhaps made a mistake and was viewing a video not related to heritage fairs. As I continued to view the video I realized that I was watching a heritage fair video after all. The high school is located in the United States. What an amazing and innovative idea to celebrate the cultural diversity of your school by creating a dance and musical production. The event was held in the gymnasium. The audience was completely engaged in every performance. The cheers and handclapping was sustained throughout the entire production.

       Examples of some of the performances included: a Barrack Obama look-alike reciting to a rap beat about the current political issues, a swing club in 1930’s era costumes dancing to the song Putting on the Ritz”, Desai Club with three female dancer performing a traditional India dance dressed in traditional dress, Latino dancers, Kpop dancers, Pacific Island Polynesian  Club dancers, African Drum Club, and a choir.

      It is a very entertaining video to watch. I personally viewed it three times, I have posted the link in my slide presentation if interested in viewing.
