Disponible en:

Hoffman students, staff members, parents, and community members enjoyed an evening of fashion, poetry, and classic Motown songs on Feb. 21. The evening began with music from the Hoffman’s band, a welcome from Principal Cheryl Matthews and the presentation of colors performed by LOTC students.

Students provided the audience with a history of Motown, a runway walk of Motown fashion, and a dance performance of “Dancing in the Street.” The band entertained the audience with “I Want You Back” as made famous by the Jackson 5.

Everyone also enjoyed two inspirational songs. KaVashae Hodges, Jordan Stubblefield and Daydrian Lee sang “The Chosen One” while Doninique Rhodes sang the song “His Eyes are on the Sparrow.” Hoffman students also performed a skit entitled “Mama Listen.”

Hoffman athletes also got into the act by presenting famous athletes during the Motown years.

To end the evening, the band and volunteer choir, which was comprised of choir students and staff members, performed “Lean on Me.” The band also provided the final performance with Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.” Michael Owen directed the volunteer choir and band.

Hoffman staff members thank all who participated and those who came to share the “Motown and African American Experience.”
