The Music Man (abbreviated)

Spring musical performance
 The school that Wyatt and Genevieve go to is a K-8. When our kids were there it ended at 5th grade. Having the upper grades there allows for more depth in their performances. This year they put on an abbreviated version of "The Music Man". There were two performance times with different classes taking part in a couple of the songs. The above scene is Harold Hill talking about the town needing a band to keep boys out of trouble.

This guy's A-Okay
 Sometime during one of the songs, one of the kids down front had her nose start bleeding.  Principal Dauch was down there with a spray bottle and paper towels, cleaning the floor while the performance went on without a hitch.
 Wyatt's class is in the foreground of this picture.  He's the kid in the hat with the white band on it in the middle of the photo. They were part of the "Wells Fargo Wagon" song chorus.

It was short and sweet. I'm sure it was a ton of work with so many kids involved.
Thanks to the many people that made this happen.
Wyatt was very excited to take part.
