I'll see you and raise you.

Elementary school violin students' concert. About 15 students.

The accompanist didn't show up.

I was accompanying my daughter already, so the teacher asked, "Would you mind . . . . . "

Got some good sightreading practice in, and fortunately all the kids were at a pretty basic level so none of the music was too hard. And some of the stuff I even knew already (Bach's Minuet in G - if I ever hear that again. . . !)

The most interesting thing I learned was when a kid stumbled or got lost how to wait for them (and throw an encouraging smile to them in the meantime).

I coached soccer for 6 years. Local parks.
Spring I’d have 200 by my self.
Never had a bad kid.
Lots of bad parents though.
