The Monumental Chorus

Yes, that is what it is called and that is what it is, a Monumental Chorus. A local high school/college invites several schools every year to participate in a Christmas chorus. Victoria participated in kindergarten and scared me to death, so it was just until now that she participated again. In kindergarten, she and one of her classmates were lost in a sea of hundreds of older students who were jumping on the bleachers! Fortunately, the school principal kept them close and handed them over untouched at the end of the evening. Last night, Sam took Victoria to participate in the chorus. I stayed home with a sick girl -- Sofia seems to have some sort of food poisoning and has been feeling crummy. Victoria really enjoyed singing and was able to hold her own in the crowd. Sam was equally impressed with the event. They finished off the evening with a little hot chocolate at Starbucks. The monumental chorus Lighting candles with hundreds of other responsible children Sam and Victoria at Starbucks
And for the grand finale -- a lovely song and the choir director shoots fireworks into the crowd of kids!!! Well, at least they weren't jumping on the bleachers...(these are the things that dad's do great participating in and mom's just need to see the pictures afterwards)

That sounds neat! But I can see why you would be nervous; especially when she was in kindergarten! Love the idea of lighting candles with thousands of kids...that would not go over well here.

SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING AMY GOT TO DO WHEN SHE WENT TO ESEA. SHE GOT TO MARCH IN A SOCCER STADIUM ACROSS TOWN IN A PARADE. BUT THERE WERE NO FIREWORKS JUST MILITARY MEN STANDING AROUND WITH MACHINE GUNS. WE WERE ALL KIND OF JUMPY. FUN TIMES. ARGENTINA, 1979 DID VICTORIA ENJOY THE SINGING OR BEING IN THE BIG GROUP? SOUND LIKE HER FATHERS DAUGHTER.
