College students Podensac (Gironde) have beautiful references …
From “bad reputation” to “friends first”, they sang in choir Georges Brassens, on the occasion of centenary of the birth of the singer who died 40 years ago and who gave his name to the college of Podensacais.
An initiative of the teachers
The idea came from Christophe Warnet (professor in rural areas and the environment) who surrounded himself with Emilie Mervin-Kouyaté (professor of musical education), Delphine Alibert and Frédéric Rolland (professors of specialized schools).
Accompanied by Diane Jacquet (documentalist), Manuelle Jollivet (Spanish teacher), Vanessa Rolland (plastic arts teacher) and Camille Chanu (French teacher) to organize and carry out this tribute.

Classics sung in the heart
Madame Gouineau, principal of the college, first of all wished to recall, in an inaugural speech, some significant times in the life and work of Georges Brassens.
It is not without a certain apprehension that the choir of about fifty students, formed for the event, accompanied on the piano by E. Mervin Kouyaté and on the guitar by F. Rolland to start singing the first song “Auprès of my tree ”.
“The bad reputation” followed. Finally, with “Friends first” it is the crowd of students and teachers, gathered in the courtyard, who joined the singers to sing the famous song.
Reading of “Dying for Ideas”
Through the reading of the text “Dying for ideas”, 4th and 3rd year students, accompanied by their teacher D. Alibert, wished to recall the committed character of the singer-poet. Two external speakers, Emma Kariotis, lyric singer and Jean-Pierre Muller director and theater teacher, invited by the college, also gave the students to hear texts and songs by the artist.
As an extension of this commemoration, the pupils, in Spanish lessons, studied texts, sung by Paco Ibanez and will produce, as part of the plastic arts course, a fresco on the theme of “friends first”.
