Ketchup Hot Dog Clip Art

Finally a hot dog clip art picture with ketchup! I don't like mustard or relish so all of the other images up until this point have kind of made gag. Ketchup is my condiment of choice, especially on hot dogs.

When I was a kid I used to put ketchup on everything, to the point where my parents would get angry because I was wasting it, and they said I was taking in too much sugar and salt from the ketchup. Nowadays I limit the amount I eat of course, but try getting an 8 year old kid with a sweet tooth to do that!!

PS22 Chorus Kicks Off The September Concert!



Before the end of the school year, the PS22 Chorus of 2010 got together to record some songs for the September Concert, an organization endorsed by NYC Schools Chancellor Joel Klein and put together by Haruko Smith in response to the devastating attacks on America on September 11th, 2001. According to its website, "Except for several public concerts our foundation produces ourselves, all concerts are produced by those who believe in the power of music to bring people together, to reaffirm our hope for peace, and to celebrate life and our universal humanity." We are proud of both our association and our contribution to this wonderful project. To see the PS22 September Concert video, click here.

Clipart of a Mustard Hot Dog With Green and Yellow Relish

This hot dog clip art pic is a little different from last time's mustard hot dog image because this one also has 2 types of relish. That is, both green relish and yellow relish. I'm not really a fan of any of those condiments, but I suppose if I had to choose one I'd take the yellow relish.

Little Secrets Bemix!



A while back we posted an mp3 of a remix we made of Passion Pit's "Little Secrets". Here is a little video we created to that very same remix (which you can download here), which we like to call the Mr. Bemix! ;) To accompany the music are pictures presented in a randomized slideshow from the kids' actual recording session with Passion Pit on January 16th 2009. ( For those not already in the know, the PS22 Chorus backed Passion Pit on three songs from their amazing full-length CD debut, Manners -- Little Secrets, The Reeling & Let Your Love Grow Tall.)

Mustard Hot Dog Clip Art

Continuing with our current hot dog clip art theme, today we have for you a mustard hot dog image. This one is simpler and less colorful than last time's, but that might be suitable for websites and print materials that are a little less flashy and more restrained and conservative.

But the kid in me says "Mustard sucks! Where's the ketchup?" I have never been a big fan of mustard, except for in recent years when I've taken a liking to spicy mustard and Dionne mustard.

2) Another special a cappella rendition -- this time of "Believe" by Travis Garland from June featuring future PS22 Chorus of 2011 member, Azaria.




3) The previously unposted Happy Birthday Debacle from our most recent holiday performance! Thanks to Suz for filming!

Mrs. B Takes Me Out to the Ballgame!



As previously reported, on Wednesday, August 4th, the PS22 Chorus regrouped to perform the national anthem at A-Rod's 600th homerun game for the NY Yankees against the Toronto Blue Jays. In between rehearsal and performance, we decided to kill some time and have some fun with "Take Me Out To The Ballgame." Mrs. B even joins in on the shenanigans.....

Relish Mustard Hot Dog Clipart Part 2

Last time we brought you a clipart image of a relish and mustard covered hot dog, and today we bring you a second and slightly higher quality one. I prefer the imagery in this one since it is more vivid than the one I presented last time. It looks a little more realistic and believable. This is my favorite of the entire hot dog clip art series.

PS22 sings at A-Rod's 600th Homerun Game!



Yesterday the chorus performed the national anthem at the start of the historic NY Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays, and like A-Rod himself, PS22 knocked it out of the same park!!



When the kids first arrived to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, they immediately were escorted to the field to rehearse. After soundcheck, they were given a brief tour of Yankees Monument Park, which paid homage to some of the greatest in Yankee history.




The Yankees even agreed to allow the World Series Trophy to be brought out just for the chorus!




Before anybody knew it, it was game time, and the kids took the field to perform. The chorus rocked it, and Albert was nothing short of extraordinary on the solo! Their rendition was greeted with thunderous applause! Throughout the performance they were accompanied by 10 students from a high school for the deaf that signed the anthem. It was a very special presentation, and a perfect way to start off any historic occasion.... (And check out Jose Pena on the bottom right in the 2nd pic below!)





When the kids finished rocking the crowd, they set out to join them for the game. The Yankees provided a beautiful VIP suite, that was catered with all kinds of kid-friendly foods! And the box seats were fantastic for the chorus to be treated to a bird's eye view of A-Rod's record-making home run! Ms. Massimo & Ms. LiPuma even brought along face paint to add to the fun!



All things considered, it's safe to say the PS22 Chorus was in seventh Yankee heaven!



Big thanks to the Yankees and Greg King for this unforgettable day! Equally big thanks to Mrs. Johnson for the awesome video footage, and Victor Breinberg for capturing the day with incredible pics!! (That shot he took of A-Rod at the top of this post is CLASSIC! That was the record-breaking swing!!) Also thanks to Mrs. Panzella, Ms. Massimo, Ms. LiPuma, Ms. Kaufman, Ms. Sweeney, Ms. Sassano, and Mr. & Mrs. Scaglione for helping out and sharing in the fun! More pics below!

Superforest Interview


Check out this great interview from Superforest, the "Positivity Blog!" It was so good meeting and speaking with the writer, Jordan Kandall (pictured above), and thanks to him for taking the time to come to Staten Island to speak.

New Improv.....


Here is one of my favorite audio recordings, as it brings together two of the finest young talents PS22 has to offer, Clive & Justin! This was recorded back in October of 2006, and it's still astounding to me how these kids were able to reach into the music and create something both haunting and beautiful. And yeah, Mr. B's doing a little vocalizing too.....




Clive was in 8th grade and Justin was in 5th when we put this down. Proud to share this also as an audio file too. Find "In My Head" and more on the right sidebar!

PLAY BALL!!



Exciting news! The PS22 Chorus of 2010 will be regrouping for one final performance tomorrow, August 4th, at the NY Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays game at Yankee Stadium!! The game starts at 1:05 PM, and the kids will be singing the national anthem at the top. What a way to celebrate the end of a phenomenal school year!
