He is interrupted here by piano music playing in the background – the familiar introduction to the well-known song “Hallelujah.” Both men seemed confused. Mainka continues his announcement, but seems unable to stop himself from singing along to the tune … “I heard about a winter storm…”

Principal Kitchen stops him, “Wait! Wait! Let me reiterate.  We are not going to humiliate ourselves by singing a snow day song!”

Confused, Mainka apologizes, “I honestly don’t know what happened.  I mean, I can’t stand it when people sing about snow days.”  The piano music continues, and he nonchalantly puts on a pair of sunglasses.  He continues to warn about the storm and how everyone should stay home and stay warm – of course, along to the melody of “Hallelujah” the whole time. His voice is surprisingly very good!

Principal Kitchen slides a pair of sunglasses on, too, and joins Mainka. In impressive harmony, they continue making announcements about the snow day. “It’s a snow day, a winter cold day.  Stay home and just play. It’s a great family day.”

While Superintendent Mainka wants everyone to stay warm and enjoy the day, he also encourages them to be responsible, too: “This winter storm will break real soon; please try not to sleep ‘til noon.  You really should be working for your parents.”  I’m sure parents will appreciate that good word!

The duo finished their song and caution them all to stay safe and warm.  This version of a snow day announcement was surprisingly well done, and the vocals were great.  What a fun school this must be!
