Winter Concert

It was unbearably sweet! It was also exactly like the concerts of my childhood -- the tiny auditorium looks the same as LAUSD schools did in the 70s, the music was the same, the whole aura was exactly the same.




The aforementioned tiny auditorium means they had to do three concerts. At the first, the audience was strictly parents, and because there's virtually no backstage space, the kids were simply brought from their classrooms to perform, class by class. So while the kids got to sing their song, they didn't get to see any of the other classes performing. So at the second concert, half the school watched. At the third, the other half of kids watched. This was great fun for everyone, but I have to say that by the end of the third concert the little kindergarteners were burned out. It was a very hectic day for them. But that was afterwards -- during their performance they had tons of energy, and you could feel the affection the big kids have for the littler ones -- the audience was totally quiet and respectful, and gave the littles a huge applause.
