Berlin, MD – On Friday, April 26, Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) family and friends gathered for the annual Spring Music & Art program, Planet Rock, presented by Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 5 students.

Talented Lower School music teacher, Joanie Brittingham, directed a singing and dancing troupe of more than 200 students as they blasted out of this world in search of music on Planet Rock. After watching the incredible performance and celebrating the fifth graders’ promotion to Middle School, parents enjoyed the impressive array of student art projects in the Field House. Lower School art teacher, Mrs. Catherine Roman, worked with her students to create the masterpieces that coordinated with this year’s theme.
