So, Kayli, and most of the boys and girls from the 4th and 5th grades, joined a group this year called "Special Chorus". They met once a week with the music teacher to practice singing together as a group. At the end of the school year they would put on a big performance to show what they had accomplished together. Kayli loves to sing, and really enjoyed this group. However, the week of the performance required lots of extra practices, and the day of the big performance required an early morning practice, a later morning full performance for a small audience, another full performance in the afternoon at an all-school assembly, then, finally an evening performance for all the parents! Whew! The kids were all wearing long sleeves and long pants, and the temps were getting warm this time of year, so it was very hot up there on stage. So many kids were stuffed together like sardines, and the spotlights just added to the heat! Apparently one of the girls had even begun to faint at one of the earlier performances, as a result of this. Anyway, they complained, and sweated, and squished each other on stage, but persevered, and still put on some fabulous performances!
getting everyone"Un-costumed" after the afternoon performance...
...then, back again later to get "re-costumed" was quite a production...
but they entertained themselves along the way...
then, put their "all" in the grand finale of the evening...
and when the audience finished their clapping, and the kids knew they were done performing for the absolutely last and final time, Kayli (the actress) just couldn't help collapsing into the arms of her BFF with a BIG sigh of relief...
then, her BFF returned the sentiment, haha...
