Allison's most recent show

Allison's school puts on shows for parents once a month or so. Previous shows have entailed a play of some sort, followed by a gallery showing of the children's work in their art room. This time, they staged a musical performance. They've been doing a unit on South America, which included learning some Spanish. They did two song, both of them a mixture of English and Spanish.

First, they sang "Bienvenidos a nuestra clase," and then they went on the superb color song, pictured below, featuring Allison's class on egg shakers and vocals plus their teacher Miss Casey on additional percussion and backing vocals.

















The lyrics:

Ooh! Aaah! I see the colors
Ooh! Aaah! I see los colores

The sun is yellow. Amarillo! Amarillo!
The sky is blue. Azul! Azul!
My blood is red. Rojo! Rojo!
The trees are green. Verde! Verde!

There's a bit of dance that goes with it. If you're lucky, Allison will do it for you. If you see her, you should ask her.

I took more pictures but you know, they all pretty much look the same.

For atmosphere, here is a view of Allison's adoring fans:





















And a post-performance stupor. Really, I wanted to take a picture of her in that spectacular dress but she wasn't interested. This shot represents a protest against mother-enforced picture taking.






















Only a matter of time before she starts hopping again, though.






















I had to crop my finger out of the frame. Quality nice.
