Scarf

 
The scarf provided many minutes of fiddling and twitching time for Avery on stage. I don't know what she would have done with her hands had that not been there to act as an outlet for her. She loves looking at other people too. I would almost label her as a semi-professional voyeur. Even while singing she was ensconced with the other class. It was quite entertaining to watch. They did a good job. I always think it's quite a fete to get a couple hundred kids to sing and follow directions. What a lovely thing to watch and hear. Real recently I read "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck, there's a theme throughout the book about music. Kino, hears 2 songs playing throughout his life, the "Song of the Family" and the "Song of the Enemy." The "Song of the Family" makes up the sounds of everyday life for them, beit the clanking of a pot made by his wife or the crackle of the fire. These Christmas programs have contributed to my "song."
