SER- Shreya
- Good morning everyone! What a great crowd we have here today. And you look so stylish. I love your big hair doo, trendy clothes and pointy shoes… you are a true Macaroni… I’m impressed!
SER-Anika
- Yes, it’s 1776 and though we American’s want our freedom from Britain, we still admire their sense of style!
SER- Claire
- And there was nothing more stylish back in those days than the Macaronis… those stylish young people who wore huge wigs with feathers, pointed shoes and tight pants. They were all the rage.
SER-Ava
- Around this time, in the Revolutionary War, there was a song that made fun of the poorly dressed Yankees or "doodles". It was so popular that the British troops sang it as they marched to battle on the first day of the war.
SER-Iris
- But by 1781, when the British surrendered at Yorktown, being called a "Yankee Doodle" had gone from being an insult to a point of pride, and the song became the new republic’s unofficial national anthem. This song is “Yankee Doodle”.
