Earlier this week, something amazing happened. The North Haven Community School in North Haven, Maine put on a ballet featuring participation from both students and community members. It was called the Milk Man Ballet, and was based on Deerhoof's 2004 album Milk Man.

Drama teacher Courtney Naliboff and choreographer Ken Jones collaborated with the band members on the production's music, and students from elementary, middle, and high school danced. The band attended both performances, which took place October 23 and 24 at Waterman's Community Center, as well as rehearsals.

These wonderful photographs were taken by Alice Bissell, who works at the school. Special thanks to reader Adam Lachman for sending them in.
