Unique challenges for Destination ImagiNation teams

Wayland Town Crier 4/18/10: Unique challenges for Destination ImagiNation teams. “How do you win this board game life, when games like this are getting harder to play?” Melissa Smith, a seventh-grader from Wayland, is desperate to know as she delivers the opening lyric to a parody of the titular song from the musical "Rent". Clad in a silver costume made of duct tape, Smith runs around a life-sized Monopoly board, singing about the tension in the life of a Monopoly token fighting to win the game. While accompanying herself on the electric bass, seventh-grader Rachel Hawley frets about the possibility of landing on the "Go to Jail" space as well. This intriguing scene can be found only on the set of "Monopoly!: The Musical," a project created by participants of the Destination ImagiNation (DI) program. Rizbamm, the only middle school Destination ImagiNation program in Wayland this year, received first place at the Regional Tournament on March 20.
