Spring Recital

Another recital?  'Tis the season!  Jbird and I have a tiny little studio of students which we have named The Bird Cage Studio, and we decided it was time to have them all over to show off their stuff to each other.  We now have a logo - a singing bird - which went on all the fliers, programs, and certificates I made for this event.  It's in this situation when I really appreciate marrying an accompanist.

If you've seen our little place, you might wonder what I was thinking, inviting 20 people over for a sit down concert.  Luckily, over half of them were little people.  Everyone was instructed to dress up - I wore my pearls, Jbird wore a tie - we made it a formal occasion.  They all treated it as such too, clapping heartily for each song and almost holding their breath while each child performed. 

It was also a chance to get out the musical cookie cutters for some iced sugar cookies, make chocolate musical symbols to plop into the frosting of scrummy white cupcakes, and serve everything on the platters mum bought for Jbird's recital reception last year.  We had musical score serviettes too.  We all felt far more musical for it, too.

It was after the musical afternoon tea that everything got a little bit chaotic (too much sugar!) so we migrated outside for frisbee and tiggy.  It felt a little bit like community.

tiggy = tag              serviette = napkin
