Ahoy, mateys!
This week on Kids Commute we're diving into swashbuckling tunes about the scourge of the seven seas - pirates! We'll hear music from movies and operas about marauding sea wolves, and we'll give you another chance to win our weekly Quizlet drawing.
Pirate music we'll enjoy this week:
- "With catlike tread" (Gilbert & Sullivan)
- "On the Cliffs of Cornwall" (Smyth)
- "Flying Boatmen" (Hisaishi)
- "Yo ho! A Pirate's Life for Me" (Bruns/Atencio)
- "The Medallion Calls/The Black Pearl/He's a Pirate" (Badelt)
Shiver me timbers! This week's going to be a lot of fun!

How to answer the Kids Commute Quizlet:
Each week, we present you with a brand-new Quizlet question to answer. We'll ask the question at the beginning of the week, and our pal Quizbot will provide daily clues until Thursday.
Email your answer to kidscommute@interlochen.org . If you get the answer right, Quizbot will let you know! Quizbot's very polite, though, and doesn't want to tell you if you got it wrong, so if you don't hear from Quizbot, keep trying with a new answer.
On Thursday at noon, we'll draw a name from all the Kids Commuters who got the answer right, and award a lucky winner with this year's prize - a shiny, holographic Kids Commute Sticker! If it's your first time answering the Quizlet, we'll send your grownup a form to fill out so you can be eligible for our prize drawing. They'll only need to fill out the form one time.
On Friday's episode, we'll do what we call "shout-outs" - we'll read the names of every single Kids Commuter that got the answer right that week!
Good luck and thanks for listening to Kids Commute - no kid or commute required!
