What do you do with a drunken sailor?

You put him in a lockbox until morning, according to the music students of Sippican School.

That advice is direct from a sea chanty, "Drunken Sailor," that Sippican School Chorus Director Patty Richard led her students through at the beginning of the night. "In context," she told the audience, "it is intended to refer more to a useless, unhelpful sailor."

The chorus also sang a different version of "Home on the Range," before the Monday Jazz Band (made up of novice jazz band musicians) came forward to present their own songs.

Those songs happened to include odes to a famous English spy and a modern rock band. First, the band played the James Bond theme, "a perfect introduction to jazz," according to Band Director Hannah Moore.

The jazz band also played a nod to "Happy Days," performing the show's theme "Rock Around the Clock" before sitting back down.

The fifth-grade band then assembled to play their own instruments. "I know some of you have been hearing 'Jingle Bells' over, and over, and over..." Moore said. "But the kids have worked really hard, so bear with us for a minute here."

After the holiday classics were finished, Moore was happy to announce, "That's it! No more 'Jingle Bells!'" Her announcement was met with laughter and whistles from parents.

The Tuesday Jazz Band, made up of more experienced student musicians, then played a number of more complicated tunes. The first, "Big Spender," caused Moore a bit of a dilemma.

"We haven't talked much about what the lyrics actually mean!" she laughed. "That's the good part of my job, I don't really have to deal with words."

Then, in what she revealed was a student-chosen piece, the students also played "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. The rendition of the modern hit had several children in the audience up and dancing.

The band closed out the concert with a "calm down" classic, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," to strong applause.

"I think they know their stuff," Moore said of the music students. "Thank you for sharing your kids with us!"
