Christmas Concert - thumbs down :o(

So last night was the daughter's Christmas Concert.

I must say, it was not very good, not very good at all. (Thankfully it was only 1 hour).

I know that seems a mean thing to say, but the concert last year was LEAGUES better! EXPONENTIALLY so! Half way through this year's concert I asked the wife if the school had a new music teacher, she said "yeah". I said "it shows".

Last year's concert was so much more energetic, and entertaining, and interesting. I thought every single song sung (and play acted out) was great last year. This year there was no energy. The bulk of the program the poor kids just basically stood around, looked bored, and sang their songs. Occasionally, some groups were doing some 'dance' moves - but that was basically shacking their hands around. There was only one song the entire night that was 'good' and interesting.

It simply amazed how much difference a single teacher can make. I'm saddened that the music teacher from last year is gone... I can only hope the new one gets better by next year's concert!


On an unrelated note, I'm feeling pretty crappy today... this better pass by fast! I don't want to be sick during xmas!
