So, we came full of expectations of good singing, good directing, and all around good...umm...culture? And we went away a little disappointed. (Not in Kristine's age group, of course, but the older girls. And most notably in their director.) Too bad. They had arranged the concert backwards, so that the older girls sang all their songs before the little ones,--it was 8:15 or later before the little girls went on--and alot of the older girl's songs weren't ready, and the director was really obnoxious. So, blah, blah, blah.
Now the good part. Kristine was brilliant! Her group sang their songs well, and really had a good time singing and performing them. They told the story of The Three Little Pigs in song, and really had the audience laughing at their lines and antics. They also did the Mickey Mouse Club March, and Heigh Ho. The group wrote a song they called The Twelve Days of Summer in which they pretty well demanded a good time(I wasn't so keen on it, but Kristine later confided that they all knew it was rude and selfish of them, but they were doing it in fun). She wasn't at all nervous, she said, not even on the risers and the stage above the audience. She said she even saw us in the audience! She moved around well, and I could even hear her voice!
We had to go as soon as her songs were done, so we could get the chores done, but I had some flowers and chocoates in the car for her because the star of the show always gets them. I am excitted that she did so well, and obviously had such a good time at it. She's already looking forward to next year because "I get to sing by myself! And maybe in a microphone!"
I did take pictures, but I didn't have the right setting on the camera, and they came out blurry and funny. Bummer, dude--can you believe there are no pictures on this blog yet?! Sorry--better next time.
