The carnival show of the CEIP César Manrique Cabrera in Tahíche is surpassed again. A total of 470 students, characterized with costumes from seven films, performed the musical Cine en Familia on the morning of Friday, February 28th.
The public school of Tahíche has premiered before a thousand spectators the collective work that they had been preparing for the last seven weeks under the coordination of the music teacher Antonio Monzón Suárez. For an hour and twenty minutes, each level paraded through the primary school court, converted into a festive multiplex where they represented with dances and music the story of seven well-known films for the children's audience: Rio, ToyStory, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Pirates of the Caribbean, Minions and The Three Musketeers.
The common theme of the CEIP César Manrique Cabrera during this year is cinema and since the return from Christmas, the project that was presented today has been carried out. Among the activities that have been carried out, the creation of a batucada with the participation of half a hundred of the 5th and 6th grade students stands out. Workshops have been developed with families to create costumes and decorative elements for the stage space, choreographies have been rehearsed, which have also included dining staff and representatives of the AMPA.
For several courses, the carnival has been celebrated in this school through a show open to families and the accumulated experience has allowed this year's edition to reach a level that, according to many of those present, "had not been achieved". This year's show opened with an overture in which a nod was made to The Lion King, with the presence of the director and the coordinator of the event, followed by the dining staff and specialist teachers, dressed as popcorn vendors, who encouraged the public to anticipate the energy that was coming in the next hour.
Next, the batucada entered the venue, followed by the three levels of infants, who dressed up as very colorful parrots to honor the film Rio and who were guided by a teacher dressed as an explorer with collection relics and two members of the murga Los Desahuciados who wore two giant white tigers, a fantasy awarded in another edition of the carnivals.
Likewise, 1st grade of Primary embodied the toys and characters of the Toy Story saga, while 2nd grade recreated the story of Aladdin, with special smoke effects included. The students of 3rd grade dressed up as Indians to remember the film Pocahontas.
Then, the students of 4th grade represented one of the most epic moments of the meeting, transforming the court into the stormy waters of the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, accompanied by many fathers and mothers and even a boat with a pirate flag. 5th grade had to put the finishing touch with the electrifying march of The Minions, calling all participants to dance under a rain of confetti.
