December in Our Town

Every few years, our wonderful music teacher at school puts on a big school performance for the parents and students together with another equally musically talented teacher. This year's was a musical called "December in Our Town." Of course, with any big production, it becomes quite stressful; as a result, various teachers volunteered to supervise student rehearsals and help out with individual dances and scenes in the play. I was very honoured to take part in this year's play, helping out with the Innkeeper scene of Mary and Joesph looking for a place to stay with the unborn child. As well, I also helped out backstage during the dress rehearsals and 1 of the 2 nights of performance. As predicted, the concert turned out fabulous: the actors, dancers, and choir did not disappoint.

I was also fortunate enough to be able to help the school take photos (click Student Life @ left margin) of this event as well as update our school website, so needless to say, I did that right away. All the beautiful dances beyond acting were touching and wonderful, including The Season of Hope, Kwanza Celebration, Bollywood Celebration, etc. I was especially impressed with all the choreography, the Bollywood costumes, sound effects of our backstage crew as well as our students playing the African drums for the Kwanza celebration song.
