All five schools sang interesting songs and the children were exceptionally orderly coming on and off stage. There was a pianist playing the music for them to sing along with and on some of the songs there was a student in high school who played the violin so wonderfully.
My father has always loved the violin. He's played one since before I was born. He admits he's no virtuoso, but that matters not as it's his love for the instrument that matters. He's refurbished violins and has used them as art, but mostly he just respects them. And loves music played by them.
As much as I was looking forward to hearing my daughter's school sing after the other four schools had had their turn, I wanted more to have the violinist come back out and play along with more songs. She did several times and I was transfixed, watching her play flawlessly, turning the songs into so much more just with a single stringed instrument.
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: My daughter's chorus, we thought, was the best. She looked so nice up on stage, singing and standing so proud. She really loves being in not one but two choruses. She does love to sing so. We knew the songs because she'd been singing them non-stop it seemed for the last several weeks. It was a beautiful night with her.
The Big Boy Update: We have a new sitter! Well, we have one sitter. We went from having a lot to zero. We now, as of tonight, have a new sitter from two houses over who recently moved in. My son didn't join us tonight as seats were limited, had a very nice time with Maisie. She said she'd be glad to come back any time. What a relief it is to have a sitter again.
