It’s First Preview this evening, but before that I’m at a couple other important shows!
At 4pm, I got to see the dress rehearsal of my daughter’s performance. Along with a whole passle of other 4th graders she’s singing and dancing to “Rock Around The Clock” in the High School performance of “Shake, Rattle and Roll.” (Did I just use the word passle?!) It’s a nice opportunity for some younger students to have fun and get onstage experience with some older performers. I have a preview performance at Williamston that I have to attend this weekend, and I’ll miss her actual show. So instead I got to watch her final dress rehearsal, and loved it!
And NOW – at 5:45, I am in the cafeteria/performance space at my son’s school waiting for HIS 2nd Grade Concert performance to start! (He’s got a solo – a whole sung verse about life as a meteor in space!?) š
As soon as the curtain falls on this, I will be jumping in my car and returning to Williamston (where I spent all morning and afternoon with the rest of the staff prepping the building for tonight’s first preview.) Can’t wait to see the show with an audience! I love the preview process!
Very exciting day all around – and I will be sleeping soundly tonight, I think!
You did say “passle,” ole timer.
I think here, as a fellow ole timer, I’m supposed to say something about apples not falling far from the tree, or little acorns, or something– regarding your talented stage-savvy “young uns.” Those school performances are SO much fun.
Break some legs at the preview– I’m sure it will be wonderful!
Hah! Thanks, Mary. I hope they fall just far enough so that they can still see it but don’t get rained on by all the stuff I drop! š
And still… “Passle”? I can’t remember using that word ever before. Maybe my vocabulary is finally expanding! š
Break a leg this weekend- and please post some-I am sure you will- about audience reactions. I just know they will love it!!
