Anna's Winter concert

Anna's school had their Winter Concert today. This is Anna in “Santa's Helpers” with all the rest of the kindergarteners (other kindergarteners not shown to avoid no-photo-permission issues). This bit was cut from a far-away video, I apologize for the poor resolution.

The girls had sticks to clack together, the boys had bells.

The MCs were quite impressive; during the troubleshooting of a technical glitch with a projector during one of the sets they volleyed age-appropriate jokes between the two of them (a boy and a girl) to kill the time. I can't recall the last time I saw a technical glitch so effectively covered. I guess what major business presentations need is more fourth-graders.

Anna was very forward-focused in the audience during the rest of the concert. It was strange to see Anna so serious-looking; this is not her typical mode at home. You can see that some kids are facing backward here: Anna never turned around.

Her typical mode at home is more like the silly-mode she went into as soon as she saw me when heading back with her class to their spot in the audience, just after I said “Hi Anna” loud enough to attract her attention.

Now, this is the Anna I know!

Note that she was not actually close enough to talk or interact with me, she just started making silly on the spot when she saw me.
