We sat through several hours of ice skating yesterday as the girls went through the dress rehearsal for their show. The lights were on full so we didn’t get the full picture… and some of the performers were a little ‘shaky’ so they have yet another dress rehearsal on Thursday as well.
The picture shows them in their finery. A friend made the skirts, and the wife sewed on the sequins… and she really enjoyed every second of it… not 🙂
They have the full performances to look forward to. One on Friday… one on Saturday. I’ll be ok… sitting wrapped up in a skiing jacket up in the stand as it all flows by me. The wife on the other hand ‘volunteered’ to help out with the costume changes as there are dozens of kids all needing to be shepherded onto and off the ice for their turns.
This means she won’t see the actual show… so you say that’s ok, no worries… just video it.
Well I *would* if I was allowed… but it seems the parents aren’t allowed to video their kids any more… not sure why… probably because of all the pervs out there… or maybe the rink just wants to turn a profit. Who knows. But we can’t take stills either… in fact they got upset when I wanted to take a photo of the kids with Father Christmas… is this political correctness got out of hand or what?
Anyway… they’ll be selling us a DVD which I’m sure will *not* concentrate as much on our kids as we’d like (if at all). I’m considering trying to sneak in the video to see if I can film them anyway… so long as I don’t get caught of course. 🙂
