The Star recently shared this fantastic photo from May 2011 featuring three second-graders from Lodi Primary School (Maddie Mueller, Jonah Jette, and Rose Baron) performing Pirates of Penzance alongside soprano Saira Frank (now OFTY's General Director)!

Maddie, Jonah, and Rose, if you see this: Can you still remember the words fifteen years later?
