Amber’s school put on a Christmas do for the parents. Being a Christian school, it was a very Christmassy affair. To their credit, they put enough innovation into the event to make it quite unique, well, in my experiences of Christmas concerts anyway. The event was themed around a “Special Delivery” that was expected by the people of the time and all the bits and pieces that one would expect to find.
The show included a number of different acts, from a group of people miming imitations – everything from a pimple squeezed till it popped to ski-jumping if memory serves, others were cases of weird and contagious illnesses that make the sufferer do bizarre things, a very funny skit around the 12 Days of Christmas, and others.
In all, a decent show.
Amber was in the choir and loved every minute of it. She worked really hard on her songs and rehearsals, by the end of the event her little voice was shot. She really gave it everything. Some of the parents came up to us afterwards saying how they enjoyed her performance – when there is music playing, Amber is dancing, there’s just no way to stop it – doesn’t matter if that wherever is in a lift or in front of a few hundred people. She performed all the actions to the songs with the kind of flair you need from someone on the stage too.
The opportunity for pictures was limited severely by the design of the hall, and my proficiency with my new camera… anyway, here are a few shots of the show…
A few contagious diseases being passed along in the doctors waiting rooms…
The impressionists popping a zit…
Amber on her way to the stage – that is Liz Hartman in front of her – her Grade 1 teacher…
Yes, it is a special delivery…
Joseph talking to the delivery guy while Mary looks on…
The choir, Amber front and centre, Leslie Johnson – the school principle is the lady with her back to this (and many other) shot(s).
The angels stressing in a strategy meeting that the delivery is going to be late…
Rowdy sheep with their rowdy shepherds…
The choir delivering another tune…
Any guesses?
