    Anthony Godfrey:

    Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. It is music that will warm your heart, make you smile, and maybe even make you want to sing along.

    On this episode of the Supercast, we share some sweet sounds of the season performed by Jordan School District students. First, hear from Julie Barnson and Dorrelyn Smith, who produced the Terra Linda Tones performance. Enjoy “African Noel” and then “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” with a Bruce Springsteen twist.

    We're here with Dorrelyn and Julie at Terra Linda Elementary School preparing for tonight's holiday concert. I'm very excited to be here. I've been trying to get here for two years. My schedule finally lined up and I've heard great things about this program. How hard you work and how much extra effort you guys put into making this a really special night.

    Dorrelyn Smith:

    It's a great program. Terra Linda's Tones have been around, well I've been doing this for about 14 years now here. It's an incredible group and I couldn't do it without Julie here, Mrs. Barnson. I'm so grateful to have her as my sidekick or I'm hers, I'm not sure which.

    Anthony Godfrey:

    Tell me what this event means to you both.

    Julie Barnson:

    Well, we work in the mornings, two days a week, and these kids, they never actually look at a piece of music. They are learning the songs by ear and by memorization and we've got parts, they're good.

    Dorrelyn Smith:

    They dance, they sing, they speak parts. It's just an incredible program. It's something that a lot of these kids would never have the opportunity to do if it wasn't for us and music is so important.

    Anthony Godfrey:

    Well, I can't wait to see it because they- just getting to meet the kids a few minutes ago, they are so excited they're about to burst.

    Dorrelyn Smith:

    Yes, they are.

    Julie Barnson:

    They're very nervous too because they're like, I know all the kids at school, that wasn't hard.

    It's all the parents, I don't know them.

    Dorrelyn Smith:

    Yes, we've heard that a time or two.

    Anthony Godfrey:

    Well, when I walked in, I was afraid that I was late because I had trouble finding a parking spot 25 minutes in advance. I walked in and the place is full. I've been to a lot of programs, I've never seen a place full half an hour beforehand. So that's pretty exciting.

    Dorrelyn Smith;

    We had parents arrive at 5:30 to get a seat.

    Anthony Godfrey:

    You've got to get those good spots.

    Julie Barnson:

    Heck yeah, you don't mess around.

    Anthony Godfrey:

    Well, I have a good spot in there I know. I'm going to head in, I'm really excited to see this performance and I can't wait to see the smiles on the faces of the kids when they perform tonight.

    Dorrelyn Smith:

    We're excited.

    Julie Barnson:

    We are.

    Anthony Godfrey:

    Thank you for the invitation. I'll let you get back to your prep.

    Assistant Principal Joshua Brothers:

    Ladies and gentlemen, fathers and mothers, uncles and aunts, grandmothers and grandfathers, perhaps even a great-grandmother and great-grandfather. We are so excited to welcome you to Terra Linda Elementary School for our Christmas concert with the Terra Linda Tones.

    We'd like to offer a very special thank you to our teachers who have helped lead this effort. Mrs. Julie Barnson, Mrs. Dorrelyn Smith, and Mrs. Laurie Hutchings.

    Choir Student:

    Terra Linda Tones singing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”:

    You better watch out,

    You better not cry,
    Better not pout,
    I'm telling you why:
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.

    He's making a list

    And checking it twice,
    He’s gonna find out
    Who's naughty and nice.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.

    He sees you when you're sleepin',

    He knows when you're awake,
    he knows if you've been bad or good,
    So you’d better be good for goodness sake.
    You’d better be good for goodness sake.

    Oh! You better watch out,

    You better not cry,
    You better not pout,
    I'm telling you why:
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.

    Santa Claus is comin' to town.

    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.

    He sees you when you're sleepin',

    He knows when you're awake,
    he knows if you've been bad or good,
    So you’d better be good for goodness sake.
    You’d better be good for goodness sake.

    Oh! You better watch out,

    You better not cry,
    You better not pout,
    I'm telling you why:
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.

    Santa Claus is comin' to town.

    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.
    Santa Claus is comin' to town.

    Hello, I'm Stacee Worthen, Secondary Counseling Specialist for Jordan School District. Do you know all the ways Jordan School District counselors can help you and your students? School counselors play such an important role in our schools. They provide parents with resources to help guide their children in academics. They provide support with the mental and social well-being of students in our schools. And if you are in the process of preparing a student for college, or just beginning the conversation of higher education, now is the perfect time to reach out to your child's counselor. We can assist with college applications and college readiness. I encourage parents and guardians to schedule an appointment and get to know your student's counselor. Together, counselors and parents can help develop plans and strategies for students to succeed long after they leave Jordan School District. Reach out! We're always here to help. You can find us and learn more at counseling.jordandistrict.org.

    Bingham High School Madrigals singing “Caroling, Caroling”:

    Caroling, caroling now we go

    Christmas bells are ringing
    Caroling, caroling through the snow
    Christmas bells are ringing
    Joyous voices sweet and clear
    Sing the sad of heart to cheer
    Ding, dong, ding, dong
    Christmas bells are ringing

    Caroling, caroling through the town

    Christmas bells are ringing
    Caroling, caroling up and down
    Christmas bells are ringing
    Mark ye well the song we sing
    Gladsome tidings now we bring
    Ding, dong, ding, dong
    Christmas bells are ringing

    Caroling, caroling, near and far

    Christmas bells are ringing
    Following, following yonder star
    Christmas bells are ringing
    Sing we all this happy morn
    "Lo, the King of heav'n is born!"
    Ding dong, ding dong
    Christmas bells are ringing

    Anthony Godfrey:

    Kelly Dehaan:

    Thank you. We have one last tiny little song to leave you with and it combines two of our favorite things about Christmas. Well, two of our favorite things, I should say. Rudolph and Star Wars. And we would like to, with it, wish you the merriest Christmas ever.

    Mountain Ridge Madrigals singing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer":

    Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (reindeer)

    Had a very shiny nose (like a lightsaber)
    And if you ever saw it (saw it)
    You would even say it glows (lightsaber sound)
    All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
    Used to laugh and call him names (“You’re nothing but a stuck-up half-witted scruffy-looking nerf herder.” “Who’s scruffy looking?”)
    They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
    Join in any reindeer games (lightsaber sound)
    Then one foggy Christmas Eve
    Santa came to say ("Rudolph, I am your father”)
    "Rudolph, with your nose so bright
    Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" (“No! That’s impossible!")
    Then how the reindeer loved him (“I love you.” “I know.”)
    As they shouted out with glee (Chewbacca cheering sound)
    "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (reindeer)
    You'll go down in history (Like Han Solo)
    You'll go down in history"

    Merry Christmas!

    Anthony Godfrey:

    From all of us at the Supercast, we wish you the happiest of holiday seasons and a safe, prosperous new year. Remember, education is the most important thing you will do today. We'll see you out there.
