about

Midwood High School's 1960 SING competition was performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music! The Junior class devised "Cosmic Conference," a stunning reflection on the troubled state of life on Earth. When the solar system convenes, the planets put Earth on trial for its many problems. Coming from the generation born during World War II, this piece is an unforgettable statement of earnest belief in creating a better world. Planetary puns, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and a moving alma mater round out this memorable performance.
