Bluegrass Music!


Tonight, Ms. Robin Acker (far right), a music student from the University of Pennsylvania, came to our troop meeting for a special presentation on the history of Bluegrass music. 

She introduced the girls to the history of Bluegrass, how it came into being, and how it influences music today.  Once the girls saw the connection between this truly original art form and the music they listen to on the radio (ahem, Taylor Swift), they really got into it.  Several dance breaks were observed during the presentation, but Robin was very patient and seemed like she enjoyed how much the girls took to the music.
