In this heartfelt and humorous episode of the Zebra Morning Show, Oscar joins us to reflect on his recent performance of "Rainbow Connection" at the school’s cultural festival. From practicing with the choral director Mr. Herskowitz to nervously stepping onto the stage, Oscar shares an honest and entertaining recap of his musical moment. He opens up about what inspired him to choose the iconic Kermit the Frog tune, his surprise at the crowd’s applause, and his next performance—singing at the Middlesex County Courthouse for a special event.
Along the way, the conversation veers into delightful detours involving Kermit impersonations, fundraising challenges for the Torch Run, and Oscar’s valiant (if slightly delayed) efforts to get flyers and snack donations organized. It’s a slice-of-life episode full of charm, relatable teen energy, and the occasional parfait reference.
