Alas, I am once again unable to upload video on this site. So imagine if you can these kids singing a slightly modified (so there are no references to Christmas in October) version of Over the River and Through the Woods.
The elementary school performed its annual Grandparents Program yesterday. This was Sydney's first time performing in front of a gym full of people.
Did you find her in the above photo? It took me a moment to spot her in the front row. AJ has always been in the back row. Not because of his height but because - according to him - "my class is the best behaved."
That's the incentive the music teacher uses. Behave yourself and you don't have to stand in front. Of course, Sydney instantly took great offense at this suggestion. Her class is good! So we assured her that maybe it was just for AJ's grade that they figured it out that way.
Back to the program... here she is singing Deep in the Heart of Texas. It was her favorite by far since she has two grandparents who spend their winter in Texas. And she got to sing it and clap for them.
AJ's an old pro by now. And yes, his class again got to stand in the back row.
He's now a fan of John Denver after singing City of New Orleans. (Have you figured it out by now? This year's theme was "On the Road with our Grandparents".
Sydney admitted she was a little scared to sing in front of all those people. But both kids did just fine. And by fine, I mean that neither of them knocked over a microphone or tripped walking on or off the risers. It's pretty much impossible to pick out their individual voices when they're singing with 80-90 other kids.
But if any other grandparents want to check out the video the next time they're visiting, I've got it. As an added bonus, I'll bet the kids would be happy to sing along and give you a live performance.
