Elem Spring Music

DIY Decoration ideas:

We will be using the “backdrop” that is light blue table cloths on PVC pipes.

We need things to cover the exposed poles at the bottom which show about one foot/ 12 inches tall and fill the length of the basketball court (84 feet).

Many of the following can be made at home with craft supplies, construction paper, cardboard, pool noodles, paintings/ drawings, etc. Some specific links to “how to” websites are available on the school’s music website or via online search engines.

* = would be ideal for the bottom of the backdrop.

• Cacti*

• Desert, Mountain scenes*

• Guitars, Maracas, mariachi band instruments
