Make a Music Video Calling all directors, musicians and hams:
(grades 6+) We all have a few faded memories hanging in our closet that we haven’t worn in years, yet can’t bear to throw away; ripped jackets, prom dresses and that pair of jeans you loved in middle school! We try them on privately in our more sentimental moments and then quickly banish them back to the “hanger of no return”. However, with a little patience, minimal skill and a bit of vision you can transform these old and outgrown garments into new, improved pieces for the new, improved you. Mon
