So after lots of work-y time, gots to get some Mommy-time in. I took Thus off of work solely to witness the wonder that was our first elementary school concert. First up - Kindergarteners. Their beatnik poet version of 50 Below Zero was breathtaking.
Even more moving? My son's courageous decision to stand in the middle of the stage with a scarf over his face following the performance. Stage fright or one man's touching interpretation of Pearl Jam's Force of Nature (one man stands alone)? You be the judge.
5 hours later* - 1st graders! Expressive movement set to orchestral pieces of Camille Saint Saens’ Carnival of Animals. No shit. J was an awesomely bitchy lion.
All the performances were moving in their own right, but the coolest part of the show? Two words. Live. Streaming. International school is so freaking cool!
*I admit - we took a break to get brunch and go grocery shopping.

are you kidding, 5 hours? I think it's assumed at that point you are going to have to duck out.
Why am I totally not surprised that J would be a "totally bitching" lion.
Isn't it fun seeing their performances? Great pictures.
