Performances
It's getting to be that time of year: Spring, when all the end-of-year school performances come! So far we've had the school 2nd-3rd grade musical, a multicultural Cinderella event at the library and Max's first judged piano performance. Of course I got pictures...

 | Being a musical about bugs, Bugz required costuming: the bumblebee costume from a couple of years ago still fits, but it's kind of skintight now. Everyone needed antennae, though. We experimented with different kinds before settling on the curly ones. Below you can see Max getting on stage with his wings, and singing in the chorus parts with the masks on. He also had two short solos, including a kind of bug-like square dance call. |

 | Max wasn't officially part of the puppet production of the story of Esther that the congregation youth group did, but he got drafted to help display the illustrated megillah. Below, you can see scenes from the school carnival, inexplicably held indoors on a beautiful day: Max practicing fire safety and Max trying to win a bottle of soda nobody in our family drinks (he failed). |

 | Max's performance of "Spirit of the Stallion" was a great success -- the judge declared it "excellent" and his teacher was quite pleased as well. He was nervous, but satisfied. (I would have gotten better pictures, but the judge's 'assistant' came in right before Max's turn and sat down right in the middle of the front row between me and the piano.) Below you can see Max and Woody starting Max's garden -- the tomato plants need to sprout indoors for a while first -- which will really get underway as soon as I remember to rent a tiller during the week (no, I don't know why our rental places are closed on weekends). |
