TORONTO, July 28..Today I woke up early, missed my 2 naps ( morning and afternoon ) missed my lunch, lugged a load of electronic equipments inside the trunks of 2 cars, then took off still wondering whether I left an important item behind. One car has the 4 singers ages 13 to 5 and whose chatter would put those 2 Disney chipmunks to shame. Fortunately, I was in the other car! But the car I was in overheated on the way. We had to pull into a subway parking lot and finished the rest of the journey with one subway train and 1 street car. The weather was still mercilessly hot . I had to phone Miguelita on my cel to ask if the kids arrived.."Yes, they did.." "Where are they now?" " In the restaurant, our daughter borrowed my Interact card.." There is a good Chinese restaurant next door to the library, and fifteen minutes later, Miguelita's card would be debited $40.00!Well, the singers need some sustainance so they can perform a good job...!
And they did perform a good job...There were a few hitches of course ( e.g. a missing track on the karaoke disk thus we had to cut off 1 song ) I had to stop a bit to make some adjustments while my daughter impromptu went on stage and adlibbed talking to the audience about music..This is not a part of the show, but it was hardly noticed . This happens when there is no dress rehearsal which we did not have because the concert hall is so far away, etc.
But over all, the singing was good! No fancy props or lights, just good, strong young voices which captivated the audience...The music glued the audience to their seats I mean the bare floor of the auditorium. Only the adults were seated at the back, the bulk of the audience ( kids from the neighbourhood ) had to sit on the floor. But they didn't mind...At the end of the show, no one wanted to leave, but we had to say like Porky Pig: THATS ALL FOLKS!!
