Kate's "Christmas" Concert

On Wednesday night, we went to Kate's school to listen to her sing in the 3rd grade choir. Kate has been practicing in the choir for a couple of months and really looked forward to the concert.

They did a few songs, usually when we go to the school for something, the gym is completely packed, and it is hard to get seats for us all together, but Wednesday night wasn't too bad, not crowded at all.

I tried to take pictures of Kate from our seats, but I guess the lighting wasn't good for how far away we were, and the pictures didn't turn out all that well. At one point while they were singing, I tried to get closer by going around to the side, but I guess I couldn't get all that close.

Anyway, the music teacher had them sing songs from all over the world. They included some Jewish songs just to make sure no one got offended. (The program for the night called it a "Holiday" concert. I guess the school is afraid of writing the word "Christmas", at least outside of kindergarten. Emma's class is learning about how Christmas is celebrated all over the world...)

Kate did a good job, and seemed to enjoy it. It was a fairly short event, which was an added bonus for a family of 6 small children.
