4th grade musical

Well, I survived the joy of the 4th grade music program tonight. It even included a special treat of 100 4th grade students playing harmoniously on the recorder. You know, those little plastic shrill mini clarinet things. And the wonderful acoustics that a cafeteria provides. But indeed, the youngsters are cute, it is very entertaining. The kid who held the note a bit too high. The kid who played the recorder when they weren't supposed to. The kid who was so nervous his voice cracked during his solo (the poor lad). And all the smiling faces of the proud children. They really are wonderful, but even more wonderful followed by a couple of Tylenol.
