Sunset Hills Music
Welcome! Music Education at Sunset Hills provides learning opportunities that aim to actively engage students in exploring their own musical possibilities while making cross-curricular connections with their general education classes.
ANNOUNCEMENTS

Musical 2025 Reveal.mp4Mary Poppins, Jr.
Get ready to "Step In Time" for this exciting musical romp with everyone's favorite nanny! The youth adaptation of this Broadway smash from Disney and Cameron Mackintosh is sure to bring our theatre family even closer with the magic that only the practically perfect Mary Poppins can bring! Auditions will be in September, and opening night will be in February.
Every year, our goal is to increase the quality of all aspects of our performance to meet the elevated expectations associated with our shows. The only way our shows can be extraordinary is through the support of our community, and we would love to involve you in a way that you would enjoy. From design, to sets, to costumes, to makeup and hair, to sales, and special effects, we encourage you to connect with our production team (randall.badsgard@dysart.org and michelle.paxman@dysart.org) to find a good fit for your skills and passion!
THE AFTERGLOW CHOIR IS RETURNING TO DISNEYLAND!
Our annual tradition continues! Next May, our Afterglow Choir will be making their 8th overnight trip to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA for another memorable exhibition performance. This performance opportunity is open to students in our Afterglow Choir program (7th & 8th grade) who commit to additional after-school rehearsals and fundraising.
ABOUT MR. B
My name is Mr. Badsgard, or “Mr. B” to my students, and I am the Music Teacher at Sunset Hills Elementary School. GO BOBCATS!! This is my 18th year at Sunset Hills, which means I've been teaching most of the students since Kindergarten!
In addition to teaching General Music, I am the both the Choir and Theatre Director. Giving kids extraordinary experiences on stage is the best part of my job! I enjoy living within a mile of the school with my two sons. As I'm sure my students will tell you, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, as well!
Please feel free to email me at any time during the school year with questions regarding our thriving Music program, here at Sunset Hills.
Thank you for your continued support of Music and the Arts in our school!
Musically,
Randall Badsgard, M.Ed, M.A.Ed.
