Music and mayhem with a generous touch of “healthy choices” were the order of the morning as the acclaimed children’s performer Glenn Colton performed in concert at K.C. Heffernan (KCH) Elementary School on Thursday, September 23, 2010. Colton’s “Raise Your Voices for Healthy Choices” concert kept the young audience actively engaged with an interactive blend of home-spun stories, original musical compositions, creative movements, and character building messages. Colton has performed more than 6000 concerts for kids and in 2009 he was inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame. Glenn is a very positive, high energy performer who “believes in the power of healthy choices, and invites his young audiences to open their ears, their hearts, and their eyes to his music and his message.” He has performed several concerts at KCH over the years and his “School Song” is based on the KCH school motto “I will not hurt anyone on the inside, I will not hurt anyone on the outside”. His September concert kept the audience moving and singing to such selections as “Another Brand New Day”, “Respect, Responsibility, and Really Good Manners”, “Mr. Ducky Wucky”, “The School Song”, “We Are Here to Grow, We Are Here to Learn, Teachers Help Us Understand” and “If You Want a Friend, Be a Friend”. Colton opened the concert by promising his audience three things: “songs, smiles, and surprises” and he clearly delivered on that vow. His meaningful performance shared that “character is knowing what is right, caring what is right, and doing what is right.” Colton also had Nemo the fish help him describe his anti-bullying message:
· Friendship, always be a friend.
· Ignore and walk away.
· Stop, and look in the eye.
· Help, ask a grown-up for help.
