Hobomock Lip Sync Filmed by John O'Keefe

The annual Hobomock Elementary School Lip Sync Concert was held Thursday evening, June 6, 2013 at the Pembroke, Massachusetts Middle School auditorium with the back partition removed to extend seating into the cafeteria area. There were 29 acts involving grades K through 6 elementary students.




The entire display was filmed by pembrokecommunitymedia.com volunteer and high school student John H. O'Keefe who thought it was "one goofy show." O'Keefe manually adjusted audio while taping, because the clapping and cheering were extra loud after each act. Good Job John!

The roaring and boisterous crowd of family and friends was egged on by back-stage emcee PJ the DJ who began with "This goes without saying, but everybody knows to clap really loud for all our participants here, right?"

PJ has a 6th grader in the school, and has been volunteering for the Lip Sync for over a decade.

He introduced each act with a "Let's-give-it-up-for," and ended with a "Wow-that-was-great!"

The Family Programs division of the Hobomock Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) began organizing and planning well before May when acts were conceived and groups began practicing both at school and at home.

Some class performances even had teachers on stage with the students.
Parent Saheeda Kelly remarked that "It's so much fun to watch the children perform on stage.  The whole school gets involved supporting each other and that's a wonderful thing to see happening."
