Bertles, John	Bash the Trash!	Music, Nature- Environment, Science	Our introductory auditorium show - a combination of science, music and environmental awareness, introducing the basics of sound, vibrations and instrument design as well as providing a tangible example of the Reuse portion of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” Thrill to the sounds of the Straw Oboe, Bendjo, and Singing Bowl! This show can be differentiated for the youngest students to the oldest - K-12 and beyond. We seriously recommend that you group your students by age (Grades K-2, 3-6, 6-8, 8-12, for example) so that we can better reach out with age-appropriate music and demonstration. In optional follow-up classroom workshops participants will build musical instruments from their own “found-object” materials and perform with them. Excellent connections to summer reading, environmental programs, music and science book programs.	$501- $1000

Most of our animals are heritage breeds, there is an explanation of the history of the breed, how the animal benefits the farm, what products come from the animal, and general care and management.
