Montville Township, New Jersey - William Mason Elementary School’s 4th and 5th grade students have capped off the school year with an enthusiastic music video. Choreographed to a recording of the 4th and 5th Grade Cougar Chorus’ spring concert rendition of “Can't Stop the Feeling," by Justin Timberlake, the video includes choreography from the May 1, 2025, concert, that has been adapted to the final dance sequence of the music video.
Directed by music teacher Brandon Frumolt, the 4th and 5th grade William Mason Cougar Chorus performed several songs during the Spring Concert. “Can't Stop the Feeling" was one of the singers’ favorite selections.
“After the concert, students worked with me during their music class to record the audio track of the song, as well as the video choreography in scenes around the school campus,” Frumolt said.
Frumolt used the Sony A7 camera and Weebill 3 Gimbal acquired last year through the Montville Educational Foundation’s [MEF] district-wide video/audio/communications grant. Additionally, the students’ choral singing was recorded, mixed, and mastered using Protools. The tracks were then exported, and used as the accompaniment to the video in Adobe Premiere. All software is provided to all district educators.
While the William Mason 4th and 5th grade took the lead in this end-of-year music video production, nearly 100 of the school’s 284 kindergarten through grade five students participated. Teachers and staff also joined in the fun and excitement of the William Mason Elementary School’s end-of-year “Can't Stop the Feeling" music video.
For 10 consecutive years Montville Township Public Schools [MTPS] has been named a “Best Community for Music Education” by NAMM [National Association of Music Merchants]. The 2025 William Mason "Can't Stop the Feeling" music video is one of dozens of examples that demonstrates the commitment the district's music faculty has for music education.
William Mason Elementary School is one of five MTPS elementary schools. The district is also home to Robert R. Lazar Middle School and Montville Township High School.
