Half-time Show, Unicycles and Plastic Tube Sword Fights

I pass the local elementary & middle school playground while on my way to the subway. I am always curious about what the students are doing. Usually, they are arranged in a very large group and are performing elaborate exercise routines to music .... better than a Superbowl half-time show... each of the different age groups have different colored caps and the colors ebb and flow as each group blends with the other. Apparently at the end of the school year there is a grand finale performance by the students for the teachers and parents. It's pretty amazing to see them practice. The students are quite focused and I have yet to see any student misbehave in any way....

Sometimes there are unicycles all over the playground for the students to ride...

And, at other times, there are long plastic tubes that the students used in what look like choreographed sword fights...
