So, I am in the school of the munchkins. The teacher I work with has a spare, so I'm in the library trying desperately not to die of boredom.
Yesterday, the school was having an arts showcase, and I thought I'd drag Pat to it, since some of my students were going to be in it. Let's just say I want my $2 back. There
was a dance group of about six girls who everybody was just dying for. They went up on stage and "shook their ass" to so rap music. No choreography, nothing. :/ The band sounded like a bunch of cats being thrown against the wall, and the singing? Pat and I sat there with big smiles on our faces chewing our lips, wondering which one was more appropriate - laughing or crying, because one was inadvertently going to come out.
I know I'm mean, but back when I went to that school, it was better. Our band played complicated classical pieces, and our choir sang beautifully - we even did a recording of a song we sounded so good. And when it was announced that "a multiple-award winner piano player" was going to play, the girl of my time didn't come out and bang four chords against the piano. You know, when the kids are less than 10 and are really kids, it's cute when they go out on the stage, and sing in a falcetto, and dance badly but cutely etc. But when they're 12, 13, 14, 15-years old and dance like hookers and sing like someone on their deathbed? :S
Anyway, the only thing that made up for it is Pat and I going out to a Chinese buffet afterwards. :P
