Ours are not just piano, but guitar, drums, and voice, and we all bring SNACKS! Yum Yum!
I was in piano recitals, too. Parents dressed us all up and each of us performed our ‘pieces’. Parents also gave their child a special gift. We had refreshments like cake and punch. And I can always remember I was nervous doing my selection and happy when mine was over!
I also remember my teacher was hateful and fussed at me a lot.
She was just out of college, just married and expecting her first child. She took all her frustrations out on the students, I suppose. She made me cry several times and I always begged Mama to let me quit.
And yes, goodies are always good to top a recital off with! Mmmm Mmmm!
