Don’t you wish your school announcements were performed to “Bohemian Rhapsody”?
Principal James Detwiler is a hell of a lot more fun than my principal. Mine was an old grouchy bastard who stomped through the halls yelling at us to tuck our shirts in and get our feet off the walls. The only fun we had with him was by writing fake names in our textbooks and then “losing” them, just to hear him say over the intercom, “Ted Nugent, come get your science book from the office. It was found in the cafetorium.”
That was top notch humor in 1981, but Detwiler and his drama teacher, Chad Caddell, put together school announcements that are so much better than that. Tired of reading the same old school closures day after day, the pair put together this bit for the Stephens Elementary families in Burlington, Kentucky.
Good on you, guys, but can you do the fandango?
