aw, hec
Tell me about your grade school assemblies! Did you have any cool ones? Did you have any lame ones? poo poo, they were all great cause it meant math got skipped for the day!

Assemblies I had:
-The hurdy gurdy man
-Billy Bee - a dude who sang about the environment
-Someone brought in a bunch of wolves one time. They told us to make a certain noise that was supossed to make them howl but it didn' work
-Yo Yo dude. He did a bunch of Yo Yo tricks. He took over gym class too and we all hosed around with Yo Yos. He has a competition to see who could keep their Yo Yo going the longest. I won, but didn't win anything
-Jew Couple - a husband and wife team that brought in a keyboard to the gym. All they did was sing the dreidel song. What you did was suggest what the dreidel was made out of, and they would include it in the dreildel song., as in "Dreildel, Dreidel, I made you out of [X]..". One kid suggested the dreidel be made out of reinforced steel. They said they didn't know what that was and just skipped over him and asked what the next material was
-An advertisement for a Catholic sleep away camp

What grade school assemblies did you have?!

In highschool I took an elective taught by a retired cop. He got the SWAT team to bring their tactical van in for us to see. The bomb robot wasn't working that day, though :(

We had that too. They had some kind of prop door and window stuff too. ANd took volunteers from the audience to stop drop and roll and check the door for heat before grabbing the handle.

We had a Crest Dentist one too with the cavity creep video.

Such graceful, delicate creatures.
The only one I remember was Montel Williams when he was a motivational speaker, before he had his TV show. I don't really remember the content, just that they bussed everyone to the high school for it.

Unless you count "split up the boys and girls for sex ed" as an assembly, we did that a couple of times.

Once a year they'd put all us kids in the gym and show a movie. They only had two movies on film, so they'd alternate them. First, third and fifth grade we watched Freaky Friday (the old Hayley Mills version) and second, fourth and sixth grade was Where the Red Fern Grows.

On the Red Fern years, they had to send half the kids home early because they were inconsolable. This was when sending a second grader home early was as easy as telling them to walk home alone, because we weren't all giant vaginas back then.

I wore a Budweiser frog shirt to my DARE graduation without thinking about it and nobody cared

Oh in 4th grade we had a really old dude come in and tell us how the puritan's used to torture and shame women and he said something about "they nailed her ears to her own shackles, and she was crying and carrying on" and it was terrifying and cool but even then I remember being like this seems hosed up and pointless for a class a 4th graders to be hearing this dudes torture fantasy stories

this kid Marcus in our class was playing with this thing called a yo yo ball and it was like a plastic ball on a bouncy string and didn't have much in common with a yo yo at all but anyways he was swinging it around and it smashed him in the forehead and he grew a massive bump in the center of his forehead and he looked like a unicorn and even though it was horrible and I was like 8 or 9 I just burst out loving laughing. I'm a bad person.
