COEUR d'ALENE - There was a whole lot of music-making and movement going on at Lake City High School on Monday.

"Dancers Drummers Dreamers" is an original music and dance performance put on through a collaboration of the high school's performing arts students and University of Idaho students.

Before staging the 70-minute show Monday evening, the students spent the day working together, with the university students teaching their younger counterparts the performance material to "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"

"It's very energetic," said Tabitha Shanklin, a senior who lent her singing voice to the show.

It's Shanklin's second year participating in DDD at Lake City.

"It's nice seeing what kinds of programs they have there (at University of Idaho). They're kind of like mentors," Shanklin said.

That's where the dreaming comes in for the high school students, and part of the university's reason for sending its students out to work with them.

Ruben MacKenzie, a first-year U of I music education major from Cle Elum, Wash., said he and his college peers are taking DDD to high schools around the state for outreach and recruitment.

"The way the whole ensemble and production is put together is very intense and immersive," said Domingo Gonzalez, another U of I music education major on his third DDD tour.

Lake City Music Director Tim Sanford said his students get a good idea of what they can do with their performance talents at the University of Idaho.

It also raises the bar for the high school students.

"One way to become better in music is to hang out with musicians who have more experience," Sanford said.

The collaborative program is 22 years old. The university students will be moving on to high schools in McCall, Boise, the Tri-Cities and Spokane.

Proceeds from the performance support the host high school's music and performing arts programs.
