Graduation Night

Phew. What a day! From 9 at night until 10 pm, it was all stress...and a fair amount of actual sweating.

We piled the kids into the buses and headed off to the hall to have one last practice. All the teachers were practicing with props when we realized that half of our props weren't even at the hall. This caused ridiculous amounts of stress for the CTs and it began to rub off on me. Luckily, it was solved when we located the props and arranged to have them taken to the school a few hours later. Because of how much it cost, the school wouldn't pay for the halls air conditioning to be used during the day, so the entire time we were all soaked through with sweat. Silently I thanked the gods that it would be cooler once the air con was on later that evening.

At 6 we rejoined after the children's nap time. Everyone was in costume, the sets were up and it was go time. Sadly, although the air con was now on, there were so many people that it felt that same as it had that afternoon. Steamy.

The Cat class performed well, except for the bit where all the cows suddenly stopped dancing and stared into the crowd with something akin to terror in their eyes. Luckily, no one cried or passed out from the heat, and the parents all thought it was cute.

Zip. Zam. Zoom. It's over. Time to take a deep breath and a cool shower.
