Mozie, I used to direct the children's choir at our Methodist church back when our daughter was in grade school. As I am sure you know, I discovered how hard it is to get kids to sing together, follow directions, stand still while singing, sing on key and not scream the notes. Imagine almost 1500 kids singing with good tone, following the conductor, standing up and sitting down in unison, choreographed steps and hand gestures, memorized lyrics and parts. And all kids between the ages of 8 and 11!

It was just amazing. The guest composer said that she had conducted seminars and workshops all over the US and had never seen anything like this school system's program.

It sure made me glad our grandchildren are in that system.

And those developmentally disabled kids were just amazing. I cannot imagine the work that teacher had to get them to do solos in front of thousands of people and they really sounded GOOD. It wa just fantastic.

That's wonderful. They must have very good support for the arts in that district; from the parents, the administration, everybody.

That sounds wonderful. I cannot imagine children in that age bracket stanting still for any length of time.

Till tomorrow. g'nite.
