"Learning Like a Wheel Turns" - Luckily just before the 2020 Quarantine, the choir had recorded "Learnin' Like A Wheel Turns" to help the school learn the Van Buren Learner Dispositions. I used my time during the Quarantine to learn how to do the awesome video effects you see in this video. (Video release - May 16, 2020)
