Going to concerts at Eyota High School

Monday, October 13th, 2008

One of things we did which I look back on with fondness was going to school concerts in which my kids participated. I’m not so sure I was that excited about it when it actually happened, but today, I remember them as fun experiences. Every year, it seems, we had a Christmas choir concert. (They might have been called “Holiday Concerts” to be politically correct) You kids probably remember this better than I do, but I remember that each class would take it’s turn and come on stage (or they might have been positioned somewhere around the gym) and then they would sing their song(s).

It was cool because sometimes the kids would dress up in costumes. We would get so excited when we could point out one of our kids. I think all of the kids got a chance to do this several times.

Matt was in high school choir and one year they did a concert. I think they got extra credit for doing solos and for taking part in other types of numbers. Matt and his friend Bryce Dody (I think I spelled his name right) sang the song “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” which was done by Billy Joel. It was very cool and the crowd really liked it. I think Matt may have missed a career move there.
