The choir concert

This past weekend we had the opportunity to attend a concert of the Concert Chorale. The program was a pops concert and the first number was a medley of songs from "The King and I" when the youngsters in the audience were featured.

Before the concert, the children were taken to the choir room to learn and practice this first song. There were a lot of words. Allison was starting to get a few after a few minutes. Matthew sat quietly and listened, but it was a little over his ability. He did well. The teacher first sitting in chairs, then stand next to the piano so he could hear them better. The teacher, after listening to a couple rounds, then compliments the children on how nice they sound and that they should record their singing so that we can sell it to mom and dad. My quiet son, speaks up about how he didn't know they would be burning any cd's now (which threw the adults for a loop).

The concert started with the children's song. The children were called to the front to stand in front of the choir. I couldn't see them walking up, but heard a collective "awww" and a few giggles from the audience. I looked up to see Allison hugging a very surprised choir director. Matthew follow suit and also gave him a hug. The kids did a great job. They sang their part and sat in front for the rest of the song. Very proud of those two!!
