Intery Mintery featurette

Every year on Halloween, the 1st through 5th grade students at The San Francisco School perform a musical ritual known as Intery Mintery. The ritual originated in the mind of Doug Goodkin in the 1980s and was then transported into the class with fellow music teachers, Sofía López-Ibor and James Harding. In 2019, Goodkin led the ritual for the last time before his 2020 retirement.

A excerpt of the 2019 Intery Mintery performance is featured in The Secret Song along with scenes from rehearsals, historical background as told by the teachers, and exuberant reactions from the students. Here you see the full performance.
