Ancient times was the theme as Grade 6 students at High Prairie Elementary School presented the musicial Dig It on June 1. Music teachers Andrea Pollock and Colin Chrabaszcz directed the musical. The 45-minute production portrays the story of inquisitive archeologists, Taki and Tut, and their fossil friend, Lucy, as they explore the wonders of ancient civilization. From the farm labourers of early Mesopotamia and Egyptian mummies who rap to a chorus of ancient Greeks, and Romulus and Remus, who dream of building a great city, the students discover the archeological mysteries of the past.
