OM, I'm with you. The parents that signed up to sell tickets at the dress rehearsal either did not show, or they hid very well. So I and another team Mom got to cover that. Whenever there was a number one of our girls was in, we would switch off. Problem is, they were in several numbers together. But it all went OK. The studio owner decided to have a big bow at the end, with all the kids coming out. So instead of the 3 and 4 year olds leaving after their number was onstage, they had to wait until everyone for their show danced. THAT was fun. And we had to be out of the theater by 9:30 sharp. Alicia had the most stuff strewn around the dressing room, and was of course in the last number to dance. So we made it out with 30 seconds to spare! Fun fun.
But it will be a good show. And it will all be over soon!
I do enjoy seeing the littlest ones discover their inner ham. Isn't that the best part of recitals?
