Back in December, the kids participated with their class in the annual holiday program. Despite the all-school program being cancelled (music director fell ill), the youngest group carried on with a few of their own numbers. Two weeks of preparations for a few minutes of glory.
A few observations:
- The room contained more mobile A/V equipment than most press conferences. Lots of proud parents, grandparents, and friends in attendance.
- Libby - small in stature, shy in group settings, but hilarious all day long. Smiling sweetly and singing along, the kid embraces the role as youngest sibling well.
- Ally - although she's stoic on the clip, Ally is a born performer. She sings ALL DAY LONG. After this program, she politely informed us "next time, I'd like to sing on the stage....but alone. It'd be easier to hear me that way". We worry about her confidence =)
- Molly - the first "hey!" chorus illustrates her approach to life. Love it. Love her.
- Russ - the video doesn't do justice illustrating his indifference. He mouthed about every fifth word, and was more concerned with getting to the desert buffet afterwards. He has his priorities.
Enjoy this rendition of "Jingle Bells"
Is Russ feeling any better? Was thinking maybe that played into his indifference? But yeah, seems more likely that FOOD is the answer!
ReplyDeletePriceless!
ReplyDeleteWhy send your children to such a non diverse school??! Where are the black and Hispanic kids???
ReplyDeleteThanks for the notes - Russ doing MUCH better these days. The kid is always ready to eat when feeling right, and staring at a buffet of treats would make me ready to mouth a few words of the song and run out the door =)
ReplyDeleteBrielle - their school is a nice melting pot of cultural/ethnic backgrounds, and GREAT families. Lots of diversity within the whole school and learning environment!
Have a great week!
