Compose Yourself (Wigged Out)

 Our youngest granddaughter Jazz was in a school play this evening."Compose Yourself", about Bethoven, Strauss, & Mozart. It was already dark when we pulled up to the school at 5:15!


A teacher was handing out programs.


It was performed by two 4th grade classes.


There is Jazz, in the center with the moustache. She played Strauss. And she remembered all her lines.



She got to do a waltz.


At one point they turned the lights down and shone flashlights on their faces. 


A few of the kids had to wear huge white wigs. And they were itching, scratching, and trying to adjust them. They looked very combersome.




A final bow ended the play.


Classical music is the kind we keep thinking will turn into a tune.

How fun!! Both for the actors and the spectators!! I always thought it's good training for discipline... and Jazz showed great discipline & skills remembering all the lines and cues!!!

Jazz did a great job. Those wigs do look cumbersome and uncomfortable. Looks like the play was a real success! xo Diana

Those costumes do look rough - but Jazz did a great job!

So cute. Kids at that age are just so amazing. No longer babies, not yet adults. So much to learn. I remember when mine were that age. Sooo long ago.

I'll bet that was an awesome play. What encourages me is the fact that the kids are learning about classical music at an early age. Music is Life !!

So cute! Well done Jazz!!! She looks great in her role and to remember all her lines is quite an achievement. My favorite Strauss song is The Blue Danube.

I love it!!! Jazz was the Star of the SHOW!!!!
Our grand quads were in a play last night, too. Annie Kids.
The three girls are in dance and singing at school and Harrison is in theater so they were ALL in the play. The little girl who played Annie was amazing!
Louis Dean used to put plays on when he was a teacher so he loved seeing this last night!
We would have loved seeing yours too!!

Wonderful! But the kids' itching made my head itch! I was so impressed with the work that children, teachers and parents must have contributed. And when I got to the quote at the end, I had a belly laugh.

Good for Jazz for remembering all her lines! That's not an easy thing to do.
She looks so cute in her costume and mustache. It's so nice you got to see her performance. Those poor kids in the white wigs. That must have been uncomfortable for them. I'm sure this was a fun and memorable night for your granddaughter.

Aww your granddaughter is absolutely beautiful... I'll bet you enjoyed her performance. I always loved going to school programs. It seems as the kids get bigger there is nothing to attend anymore.
