All New From Bach to Doo-Wop to Rock and Roll!

Capital Transit
Program Type: Performance

All New From Bach to Doo-Wop to Rock and Roll!

Capital Transit is a band of five professional musicians who take kids on an interactive journey through 500 years of Music History in 50 minutes. NEVER boring, they’ll perform Baroque & classical music, Spirituals, Blues, Jazz, Bluegrass, Doo-Wop and Rock & Roll. Humorous and engaging, Capital Transit sings four-part harmony and plays keyboard, sax, flute, clarinet, guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, and banjo. Highly educational and entertaining, kids love it as they interact with the band, play instruments with the band, move, clap, and even dance! Some “composers” make surprise visits too! A colorful PowerPoint accompanies the show. With key points for kids to listen for and remember, it addresses the NC Course of Study in History, Music, & Social Studies. Weeks before the show, Ms. Youngman delivers a CD and pre-show packet to the music teacher to help prepare all the students in the school to recognize and identify songs and composers. The music teacher may keep the packet to use forever!
