John H. Van Lierop, Jr.'s piano class performed their Halloween Recital in costume Sunday night, Oct. 25, at Tibbetts Church.
Roll over Beethoven. It was "Boo"-thoven at Tibbetts United Methodist Church, 3940 41st Ave. S.W., Sunday, Oct. 25, when 24 kids in costume performed a Halloween Recital.
Their piano instructor, John H. Van Lierop, Jr., Tibbetts organist for nearly 30 years, sported an orange dress shirt with black tie to get into the spooky spirit.
Songs performed included "Little Black Cat," "Creepy Crocodile," and "The Ghost with the Blues."
"I would call this a dork outfit, quite honestly," said Olivia Vasquez, 11, who wore oversized sun glasses and a beanie cap with propellor on top. The Explorer West sixth-grader has studied piano under Lierop for over three years. She is now learning the saxophone.
