A Concert From the Director's Point of View

Ever wonder what it's like to be the director of a concert? Well, let me tell you. It's mostly fun, mixed with a bit of frustration, nerves, and sweat. Yes. Directing a concert can get very sweaty!

Today's concert was no exception, but I must say it was more fun than usual. Maybe because we picked really fun and col songs to sing. Maybe it's because the students had smiles on their faces as they were singing. Maybe it's because of the awesome dancing that happened during "Sir Duke." I can't put my finger on it, but I really enjoyed myself and I hope you did, too.

Since I was busy directing and playing, I wasn't able to take pictures during the program.  I'm hoping the 4th and 5th grade teachers will share some of their great photos with me so I can add them to my blog, too.  Check back for updates on that!


The concert set up - just the stage - waiting for the students to arrive.


The audience begins to arrive and waits patiently for the program to begin.


Just a picture of what I organize for the the concert - I have things ready to go for each song.


Ah, the piano - with all the music needed for today's concert.
