Everything will be fine… anyway\u2014who would doubt that? And who in the Steinm\u00fchle community would be surprised that the 5th-grade classes chose this motto for their joint musical? The event has its established place on the calendar every year, just as the school year is entering its final stretch. And by this time, there are usually no more big surprises in store. For the things that may not have gone quite as well, there\u2019s a prospect of a solution for the next school year at this time. \u2014 Everything will be fine, after all. Anyway. <\/p>\n

“Sowieso,” the song of the same name by Mark Forster from 2016, served as a common thread throughout the entire evening, accompanying the performance by the 86 students. And since good cheer is known to be contagious, the girls and boys in their Steinm\u00fchen T-shirts managed to spread that wave of enthusiasm to the packed auditorium. Their renditions of songs that were popular long before their time\u2014but very familiar to the family members in the audience\u2014helped make this happen. The program included \u201cLet\u2019s Twist Again,\u201d \u201cThe Lion Sleeps Tonight,\u201d and classics like \u201cFly Me to the Moon\u201d and \u201cAnother Brick in the Wall.\u201d But newer hits were also part of the program, such as \u201cSunroof\u201d and Christina St\u00fcrmer\u2019s 2015 song \u201cMillionen Lichter,\u201d which lent itself wonderfully to their interpretation. <\/p>\n

The journey through the musical repertoire of past decades was halted once again by the passing \u201cMozart\u201d and, in the rearview mirror, pushed even further back. The great composer arrived with the appropriate hairstyle, of course. And with a hearty quip or two. Perhaps as a reminder that music can indeed endure for centuries. <\/p>\n

The entertaining evening, which featured even more songs, didn\u2019t end until after an encore and in just as positive a mood as it had begun\u2014true to the event\u2019s motto. At the end, school principals Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer and Bernd Holly thanked the many hardworking volunteers who, though not in the spotlight, played an essential role in making the evening run smoothly: Matth\u00e4us Otte and his team from Sound & Light, Heike Rado for decorations and posters, and the team of parents who were responsible for makeup and costumes. A huge thank you, of course, went first and foremost to the music department, including \u201cMrs. Musical\u201d Ulrike Wilmsmeyer, Daniel Sans, the musical band led by and featuring Frank Wemme, and Anna Prokop for their organizational efforts and musical support. <\/p>\n
