Today, the Oldest Classes at Seika performed at the local shopping mall. These kindergartners have the most incredible non-marching, marching band. Ever.
They have base drums, snares, tolio (tri-toms), cymbals, portable pianos, choreographed flags - topped off with plumed hats!
As the kids came out on the stage, they were all smiling, waving, and then there was... Dougie... he looked a bit like a cat straight out of the bath...
They performed twice on the Daiei stage for all the parents and patrons. Parents were uber-proud and on-lookers were impressed. Dougie wore his hat waaaaaaay back during his first performance (see above...) in spite of encouraging him to push it forward. I had speculated that he did not like his hair being pushed forward. And then...
My suspicions were confirmed
And corrected.
These kids not only performed beautifully, they all marched out there, hoisted up their drums/pianos and waited for the drum major. Who is also a kindergartener.
Dougie really got into the role, making faces like he was hoisting a baby grand onto his shoulders...
I think making faces is part of the performance - the little girl next to Dougie is just as cute as can BE! And check out the concentration on this boys face...
Dougie prayed tonight that he would get to "pre-form" again and that he was grateful that he got to "pre-form" today. Eric and I are in full agreement. It would be fun to compare his kindergarten performance to his future High School marching band... You be the judge! They "pre-formed":
