No one will ever accuse the music teachers at AJ's school of being unambitious. I may have lost track, but I think we just sat through our third concert of the year. This time it was a Muppet/Sesame Street theme. Sixteen songs (two for each grade, grades K-6, plus two songs that all the kids sang together.) That's a whole lot of Muppet music.
I'm guessing the sixth graders weren't as enthusiastic about the theme as the kindergartners. One of the songs AJ's class sang was the Ernie and Bert classic, "Rubber Duckie." Of course the highlight of the song for the kids was when they all got to squeeze their little toy ducks.
Their other song was the theme from Elmo's World. Here's a portion. (Pardon the shakiness midway through. Jeff didn't realize I was shooting right over his shoulder and accidentally knocked the camera.)
It's only taken three concerts and two class performances, but I finally learned an important lesson. As soon as the note came home encouraging the kids to wear a Muppet themed shirt, I turned to e-Bay. No late night sewing sessions or fruitless searches of local stores. (Incidentally, the shirt is so big that if the school ever repeats this theme anytime between now and when AJ graduates, we'll be ready.)
