Just by chance...and for the FIRST time, I happened to look on the tiny board announcing the performances at the band stand yesterday. I can only wonder at what I have missed out on all these years.
Here's what you missed yesterday...
All the way from Bejing China for this performance!...the Primary School Concert Orchestra ...the Show Choir (fantastic!) and a Dance troupe (missed that one).. The Choir performance was pure charm and beautifully presented...all in Chinese of course except for It's A Small World which was a delight to hear Live.
Here's the sad part...except for a few 'handlers' and Lori and I, there may have been 9 or 10 others in the seats for this rare treat.
Can you imagine the excitiement and build up for these kids coming all that way only to have nearly no one in the audience? They didn't even get the chance to see the fireworks as their plane left for China last night.
Anyway Lesson Learned! Check that board! While I can pass on some Cheerleaders from Iowa (sorry) I can just imagine what neat stuff we've missed and performers who were disappointed because no one came except moms and chaparones.
