The Pre-show

I promise that video will soon be loaded to the blog for you to view if interested. These still shots were taken before the show on Friday night...and just prior to the show...our camera ran out of batteries. So, over the coming days I will gather more photos to post here as well so that you can see Daddy, Potato and Bub as a shepherd and his sheep, as well as our whole group on stage in their costumes. This will give you a bit of the flavor BEFORE we went to the auditorium and went on stage.

Above: 5th from the left is our Brownie with her dance troupe...once again we were amazed at the choreography these kindgergarteners put on for the show...FUN!


Above: Potato gets ready to put on her sheep costume.


Below: The other sheep...they used a bit of blush on him.

Below: This is the group of 4th & 5th graders who did the formal dance to "God Rest You Merry Gentlemen"...they were awesome!


Below: Big Momma and a few of the dancers from our big number.



Below: Though it pains me to post these photos...they called me "The Queen" in this gown. The story of finding a gown in "one size fits all" Here (that size being a US dress size 7) was quite a lesson in humilty... or realization of pride....

Below: Posting this shot to see if you can detect the MASSIVE fake eyelashes we all wore...took me back to my years playing with my Mom's make-up kits after her performances with the Opera company and trying to press her fake eyelashes on my own eyes...it was like wearing a curtain over the top 1/3 of my eyes....impaired vision!


Below: The Bug and her buddy from the Wu family..."Spice"

Below: Magpie and her buddy from the Wu family, "Sugar"


Above: Potato enjoying our pre-show feast at the school...Lotus Root and Seaweed Soup!

Above: Brownie loves this little friend...note, they were trying to make a "heart" with their hands to show their love for each other...

Above: More photos of "posing" kids....these taken during dinner in the kindergarten classroom.
More photos in the days to come, once I can hack them from others' cameras...and video coming too!

I can't believe you made your way through all the aisles of "stuff" to find this beautiful costuming, Boggles my brain just thinking about it. I'm in awe!
