Wednesday Night

My 11 year old niece's saxophone recital this evening
I think there is choir as well

primary school music recitals are a special night

watching the parents who uninhibtedly haunt the stage with film cameras, whilst others seem to be wishing they could transform into a wolf caught in a trap, so they might have the option to chew their own leg off to get away

the exercise of willpower (or in my case the hand clapped over mouth) so one does not giggle when a small nervous child causes their instrument to make a sound like a distressed duck

earlier in the year one poor girl was overwhelmed by the stage and just stood there with her hands over her face weeping silently whilst the other two girls kept playing

tradegy and triumphant in the same night
