December 12 - Christmas Spectacular

When is the show gonna start?  I want the show to start!  Where is Samantha?  When is Samantha going to sing?  I can't see Samantha.  Is there another song?  I want those kids to sing.  Is it there turn?  Is this a long show?  Is there another song?  Is there another song?  This is loud.  I see Samantha!  My fingers are thirsty.  Can I give them a drink in my mouth.  I don't want this to be a long show.  I can't see Samantha.  Is that a pretend Santa?  Are those kids supposed to be off the stage?  Is it time to go to Grandma's yet?

This is what its like sitting through a major musical production with Cora.  Jodi on the other hand was eating it up.  The H.S. Eric teaches at (which is also the same one I attended) has an amazing music program.  4 choirs, 3 bands, 2 jazz bands, orchestra, dance team, etc. and its cool to be a part of the music program.  Every year they put on the Christmas Spectacular and all the music groups get their time to shine on stage.  It really is quite amazing and for most people its family tradition to go to this show.  Jodi has gone 3 times now and Cora had her first taste.  I'd say the two sisters have different interests.  It was a fun activity and Eric walks away every time amazed that so many kids are involved and have that opportunity.  An opportunity he did not have where he lived in Northern California.  Merry Christmas.

I'm really impressed! As a former "band geek" myself, I definitely would have loved a school where the musically inclined were the cool ones! I'm also amazed that they can put "Christmas" in the title! It's all about "Holiday" here.
