A very big idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt all started when Hart Evans zinged a rubber band that hit Mr. Meinert, the chorus director. Actually, it started before that, when Mr. Meinert learned he was out of a job because the town budget couldn't afford music and art teachers. Mr. Meinert got so mad at Hart that he told the sixth graders he'd had it -- they could produce the big holiday concert on their own. Or not. It was all up to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat happens when a teacher steps aside and lets the kids run the show? Not what Mr. Meinert would have predicted. And not what Hart Evans would have guessed, not at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOut of chaos, infighting, compromise, idealism, and finally, a fragile peace, the sixth grade choral concert was born.
