Mostly it was patriotic songs but there were also parts for the kids to recite, some dressed up as George Washington, some as the statue of Liberty, some as a box of Cracker Jacks. 
Cooper's part was to open the show. Here he is.He took a moment to gain his composure which I was very proud of him for.
Here is the last song that they performed. By the end the kids were really belting out "God Bless America".
Afterward, Cooper's teacher commented on how well she thought everyone did and that the teachers wanted to do this performance because they didn't know how much longer these patriotic songs would be allowed in school. I thought it was wonderful that there are still teachers out there that care so much about our country and God's role in it.

Great job Cooper - you did an awesome job!
OMGOSH! how cute!
Cooper you did an AWESOME job!! The best opener for a school performance! The class of 2020 and 2021...wow!! Great songs too, lets hope we can keep singing them.
I love patriotic elementry school concerts. Great job Cooper!
cooper did a great job. the "god bless america" song made me cry, especially to think that things like that could be banned in the schools because they invoke god's name.
our founding fathers would be proud of these little students--what would they have to say about the way the constitution is used these days to put down everything that they held sacred?
how proud you must be - what a great job he did - and I have to agree with the teacher, I hope they never take away those songs in school.
