A Pre-Pageant Interview
With Mrs. Gaudette
By: Olivia F. Blake
Dear readers,
Don’t you enjoy St. Peter School’s annual Christmas pageant? I know I do! This year’s show was a wonderful success! We are so grateful to Mrs. Gaudette, the Pageant director, and our school music teacher. Below is an interview I had with Ms. Gaudette, on the morning of the Pageant.
How many songs are going to be sung at the pageant?
“There are thirteen songs that are going to be sung at the pageant.”
______________________________________
How do you decide which songs are going to be sung at the pageant?
“There are two things I think about. One is I think about the story and two is that I notice what music class needs to learn. For example, the fourth grade is learning recorders.”
______________________________________
What is your favorite song that is sung at the pageant this year?
“I have two favorite songs that are going to be sung. The first song is the Hail Mary song that the seventh-grade class wrote last year, and my second favorite song is Angels We Have Heard on High, which the choir sings.”
______________________________________
Did the previous school(s) you have worked at do a Christmas pageant?
“The previous schools I have worked at have been public schools so they didn’t have Christmas celebrations, but I worked at this school in 2005.”
