Looking at the earth from the moon
Children Of Apollo
Music by Jim DePriest

For those of us who vividly remember the events in July of 1969, A fire was lit in the minds of so many children.  The thrill of actually seeing a human being walk on the moon was beyond our wildest dreams.  In 2019, I wanted to celebrate and share that thrill with our students as we celebrated the 50th anniversary of this momentous accomplishment.  As we gaze into the future and begin to return to the moon and beyond, I realized that a new generation of explorers were about to be inspired by the artemis program.  This show celebrates the daring and ingenuity of our parents and grandparents that inspired my generation to become the Children of Apollo.  As we reach into the future, may we inspire the next generation to go beyond what we have only dreamed of and reach for the stars.
